The AWC (Air Waves Comfort) structure is designed for sports where foot temperature, due to contact and friction with the surface, is very high and there is a risk of overheating.
Without losing sight of cushioning, we add extra breathability to optimise foot cooling and moisture expulsion.
Improves the foot’s cooling flow by expelling heat faster through its ventilation waves.
The key is the design of this plantar structure, which alternates raised waves and cooling waves with micro-perforated fabric. A combination of densities that boosts air circulation through its micro-perforated channels while providing cushioning in the raised areas.
Comfort and breathability, guaranteed.
The analysis carried out before and after a run with the Bmax Distance sock, with ESP plantar structure, and the Bmax Tiwar sock, with AWC plantar structure, concludes that:
- Greater heat expulsion flow in the Bmax Tiwar sock with AWC through the micro-perforated waves.
- The Bmax Tiwar sock with AWC absorbs/expels more heat during exercise, shown by a greater temperature variation between pre- and post-exercise than the Bmax with ESP.
