& Tennis back During running, the foot is always in motion, creating high shear forces. When running, a force equal to as much as three times your body weight comes down on one foot. The impact on the foot is higher on harder surfaces such as bridge gratings, rough roadways and trails, than on softer surfaces such as a track and some paved surfaces. During longer distance runs or in warmer weather, feet perspire, resulting in more blistering. The running product line features Running ThorlosŪ and Lightweight Running ThorlosŪ. Running ThorlosŪ provide maximum protection for high impact and high sheer forces and are ideal for runs on rough roadways and trails, long-distance runs, or where maximum protection is desired. Lightweight Running ThorlosŪ are ideal on track and pavement or for shorter to middle distance runs. Tennis is a very demanding activity on the feet. It can put pressures on the feet of up to three times your body weight. Quick stops, starts and turns, running, and side to side and backward movements create high impact and high shear forces. |

| Running ThorlosŪ feature maximum shock absorption and comfort. High shock absorption and cushioning at the ball and heel of the foot ease the impact of running over hard surfaces such as bridge gratings and rocks. Added protection at the toes reduces calluses and "runner's toe". Foot·HealthTM yarns wick moisture away from your skin, keeping feet drier and more comfortable, and reducing blisters. | ![]() |

| Tennis ThorlosŪ are engineered for top performance in tennis and other racquet sports. High-density padding in the ball and heel of the foot provides protection against concussion while it absorbs shock from heavy foot strikes on hard court surfaces. Low-density padding over the toe protects against abrasion caused by sudden starts, stops, and lateral movements. Low-density padding in the arch provides the protection and comfort needed for those long matches. A flat knit instep allows for rapid moisture evaporation and less bulk. | ![]() |
