1000 Mile Sportswear
Innovative performance and technical socks for running, walking, sports and foot health.
Designed with comfort and performance in mind 1000 Mile running socks use the latest technology and yarns to keep your feet protected during the most demanding of challenges.
Technical Innovations
1000 Mile is best known for its double layer anti-blister system. The ‘sock within a sock’ design was introduced to the UK with the very first Original 1000 Mile Sock.
The inner layer stays with the foot as the outer layer moves with the shoe, eliminating friction on the skin and protecting your feet from blisters – designed with the purpose of protecting not just athletes but also people with serious health issues like diabetes where foot health is essential. Trusted and worn all over the world, our double layer socks offer a BLISTER-FREE GUARANTEE.
The Guarantee
DOUBLE LAYER CONSTRUCTION
Eliminates friction between shoe and sock, thus reducing friction between sock and foot. The skin should therefore not be rubbed by the sock, meaning no wearout for 1000 miles of use and no blisters. Money back or replacement if, within one year from date of purchase, either you experience blisters or the socks wear out within 1000 miles, provided care instructions have been followed and socks are returned with original receipt. Limited to one pair per purchase.[ Please note: the guarantee does NOT apply to single layer socks from 1000 Mile]
HEEL POWER
Fabric technology grips the heel firmly in place, so no slippage! This is now a feature on the Recycled Range Original 1000 Mile Sock, Trainer Liner; Lightweight Walk Sock, Approach Sock and many others.
FUSION SYSTEM
The 1000 Mile Fusion sock is the first sock to offer padded zones on the heel and toe for protection together with the double layer system for reduced friction. The fusion system can be found in our Fusion, Fusion Anklet and Fusion Socklet sports socks, and the Fusion Walk Sock.
PADDED ACHILLES HEEL
We have added a padded area to the heel of our Fusion range for additional support and to help protect the achilles. The warmth provided by the
padding keeps the tendon supple, increasing the blood flow, reducing swelling and aiding recovery.
TOP VENTING
To help keep the foot cool we have developed ‘top venting’ with air flow channels on many of our styles. Tactel® fibre is a registered trademark of Invista and is used under license to Nilit® for nylon fibre products.
MATERIALS
A dynamic speciality fibre, TACTEL® creates fabric that is soft, supplely smooth, breathable and lightweight. According to rigid testing, Tactel® fibre is at least twice as soft and 20% lighter than most other fibres. It also dries eight times faster than cotton. In addition to being soft and lightweight, Tactel® fibre is strong. The inherent strength of Tactel® fibre enables the production of fabrics that are three times as strong as those made with natural fibres. Many 1000 Mile double layer socks have a 100% Tactel® inner.
MERINO WOOL is one of the softest types of wool available and is perfect for regulating body temperature and moisture.
Size and fitting
Almost all socks in the 1000 Mile range come in both men’s and ladies’ fittings, as indicated by the colour coded stitching around the toe seam
As we expand the 1000 Mile range, innovating and introducing new sock designs, we will also be retiring some older stock items. So where you
see this symbol on a page some sizes and colourways may already be in short supply or discontinued. When they’re gone, they’re gone. Equivalent new styles are indicated on the individual product pages in the catalogue.
