Basketball is an activity that puts some of the highest demands on the feet.
It can put pressures on the foot of up to three times body weight. Quick stops, starts and turns, running, jumping, lateral movements, backward motion and pivoting create high impact and high shear forces on the foot. Many athletes seek extra foot protection when playing basketball, often by wearing more than one pair of ordinary socks. Basketball Thorlos are engineered for top performance in this strenuous court sport. The high-density padding at the ball and heel absorb the shock of heavy foot strikes and protect against concussion, abrasion and blisters.
