How Can INFINIRI Socks Help Prevent Foot Problems? 

INFINIRI intelligent cushioning socks have been designed to help treat and prevent a range of foot problems. Our socks are designed thoughtfully with every lifestyle and function in mind to allow for independence, comfort, and pain-free walking wherever you go.

Here are a few ways INFINIRI socks can help with common foot problems:

  • Cushioning pads at the heel and forefoot of the sock have a supporting effect on the stretched arch of the foot
  • Supportive pads add gentle compression to the toes, soles and ankles of feet to help blood flow, reduce inflammation and minimise pain
  • Specially designed foot pads and soft forefoot cushion absorb pressure peaks
  • The thinned fatty tissue under the sole of the foot is replaced by the soft forefoot cushioning within the socks
  • Provide shock absorption to spread pressure around the feet and ankles 
  • Supportive pads lift and cushion the metatarsal bones, enabling your foot into its natural, healthy position to help you perform physical activities pain-free, including intense exercise and daily tasks
