Rohner Introduces Specialized Sock for Tennis

Rohner's Hard Court tennis sock is constructed with Rohner's patented R.A.C.S. Air Channel System for moisture management that ensures air circulation between the foot and tennis shoe, keeping feet dry and comfortable. Moisture wicking is further enhanced with the combination of cotton and Tactel nylon fibers. Reinforced terry throughout the Hard Court with strategic padding and cushioning on the ball of the foot and upper heel eliminates any burning sensation from the constant stopping and starting that is integral to playing tennis. Elastic in the ribbed tube and mid-foot area keeps sock in place for a smooth fit. Fibers include 70% cotton, 20% Tactel, 8% Polyamid and 2% Elastan.

All Rohner socks are knitted on special ergonomically designed cylinders that mimic foot shapes, eliminating extra material where the ankle bends and ensuring an ideal fit. Each sock is constructed with patented, hand-linked, flat loop seams meaning that every single stitch is pulled up on the needle and attached to the next stitch by hand. This technology eliminates pressure points and enhances comfort.

For the past fifty years, Rohner of Switzerland has been producing sports socks and setting industry standards in sock technology.
