FLIPPOS Trendy Functional Compression Socks Flip Socks 【Under The Bridge】

Detailed Introduction The origins of the marathon trace back to a legend in ancient Greece in 490 BC. The messenger Pheidippides ran 42.195 kilometers from Marathon to Athens to deliver news of victory, but tragically died from exhaustion. To commemorate this heroic feat, the marathon became a classic event in the Olympic Games. As times evolved, the marathon craze swept across the globe, and Taiwan was no exception. Today, Taiwan hosts over 300 marathons and related road races each year, drawing a large number of participants. Running has gradually become a part of national sports, uniting running enthusiasts from different generations and cultural backgrounds. On the map of Taiwan's running culture, "Fuhe Bridge" holds an irreplaceable position. Renowned for its flat course and beautiful surroundings, it has become an ideal venue for runners' daily training. Whether in the early morning or late evening, runners can always be seen warming up, undertaking long-distance training, or even preparing for marathons. A unique running culture has gradually taken root here, with "See you under the bridge" becoming a distinctive greeting among runners. It not only signifies an appointment but also embodies a spirit of mutual support, encouragement, and shared struggle. In this space, runners are no longer alone; the interaction and camaraderie between them elevate Fuhe Bridge beyond its physical form, making it a spiritual landmark in the hearts of runners. # Flip Socks Design The design of these socks is inspired by bridges, particularly suspension bridges, symbolizing the nurturing, connection, and support of culture. The front design captures the unique characteristics of the well-known runner's route from Fuhe Bridge to Beixin Bridge, integrating urban culture and running elements. For instance, the socks depict graffiti art along the route, road signs, and symbolic terms like "Pedestrian Priority," "Zebra Crossing," and "Jingmei," "Xindian," showcasing running's interpretation and connection to urban culture. When the socks are flipped, the suspension bridge design becomes the visual focus. The bridge structure symbolizes the role of bridges in the city, not only connecting spaces and people but also representing stability and strength. For runners, bridges are not just part of their training routes but also a symbol of support, carrying dreams and pursuing limits. With its innovative design, these socks incorporate the spirit of Fuhe Bridge, extending the runner's culture and allowing every step to feel the stability and strength that bridges provide. **WHY FLIPPOS?** The initial idea behind FLIPPOS Flip Socks was to create a pair of all-around compression socks suitable for office wear, allowing you to go directly to exercise after work, all in one pair of socks. Considering that modern work often involves prolonged sitting or standing, leading to discomfort in the feet and calves, compression socks apply "gradual pressure" from the sole of the foot to the calf to improve this condition. Furthermore, wearing Flip Socks during exercise can effectively reduce muscle oscillation, generate greater athletic power, and enhance the speed of post-exercise fatigue recovery. Flip Length, Flip Attitude To accommodate any occasion and any outfit, Flip Socks feature a unique reversible cuff design. They can be worn below the knee or folded down to the calf, instantly transforming long socks into short socks. ★ Length before flipping: Below the knee ★ Length after flipping: 18cm above the ankle FLIPPOS Maze Cushioning Plus (MCP) The pursuit of product perfection is FLIPPOS's ultimate goal. This time, we have upgraded our original exclusive maze sole by enhancing the "knitted maze damping" on the sole of the foot. Both the softness and the rebound speed have been significantly improved. Therefore, during running, jumping, or hiking, the remarkable shock absorption effect prevents energy loss, allowing for the full release of athletic power. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0557/0697/6437/files/1111.jpg?v=1628590904 https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0557/0697/6437/files/function__940x932_3e657b2a-3727-4b59-8f5e-019350ab3d9e.jpg?v=1621494106 Pressure Value FLIPPOS Flip Socks have a compression value of 15-25 mmHg, which is suitable for daily use and not a medical device, thus not requiring medical certification.

Material Egyptian Cotton Feel & Silver Ion The main material of Flip Socks is a blend of tech nylon and Lycra. This material is four times more expensive than regular combed cotton and its primary functions are quick-drying and moisture-wicking, with a feel comparable to Egyptian cotton. Additionally, silver ion deodorizing technology is incorporated into the sole, which does not diminish in effectiveness over time or with washing. 85% Tech Nylon 7% Lycra 4% Cotton 2% Spandex 2% Silver Fiber / Deodorizing Washing Instructions The best washing method is hand washing. Avoid vigorous rubbing or friction to extend the product's lifespan. For machine washing, it is recommended to place the socks inside out in a laundry bag. Water temperature should be below 30°C, using a neutral detergent (pH between 6-8). Do not use bleach, fluorescent whitening agents, or fabric softeners, and avoid prolonged soaking in sports functional detergents. Avoid powdered detergents, as if the micro-gaps on the socks become clogged, it will result in a partial loss of functionality. For those concerned about color bleeding with their own detergent, please wash separately. Wash dark and light colors separately. Do not soak or dry clean. Avoid direct sunlight and tumble dryers. Air drying is preferred.
