Any athlete attempting rock climbs, box jumps, or heavy deadlifts knows there’s a danger of shredding the skin of their lower legs. The Lifting Sock was designed to stay put throughout your toughest gym sessions, and we wanted Michael Miraglia to put this claim to the test.
Michael knows from experience that the foot lock required when climbing a rope puts a lot of stress on the shins. When he was first introduced to the Lifting Sock, he knew that the padding on the front of the sock and the promise of a no-slip design would mean the sock could provide protection and stability. Usually, athletes guard their shins with knee sleeves, but this option could provide easier protection. Michael knew he could easily take the Lifting Sock to the gym, but he wanted to get more creative.
