Run Silver
NORTHMAN Run Silver Pro Mid are technical running socks made with silver-containing X-STATIC yarn. The range differs from Run Merino mainly in its materials and focus on sports comfort, anatomical shaping and ventilation.
Run Silver is designed to stay in place while moving, without excessive pressure. Its construction includes left/right shaping, support and ventilated zones. Choose by foot size, sock height and the fit of your running shoes; Run Merino is the merino-based alternative.

Feet heat up and sweat during running. The manufacturer uses the silver-containing fibre primarily to help limit unwanted odour in the fabric. This does not make socks sterile or replace normal washing and shoe care.
Anatomical shaping and ventilation zones help the sock stay where it should be. On longer runs, check the toe and heel position, and make sure the running shoe does not squeeze the foot.

Run Silver is not medical compression. Sports support around the instep helps maintain fit, but it should not be treated as a therapeutic compression pressure. Seek medical advice for circulation-related concerns.
Follow the garment label when caring for the synthetic performance knit. Aggressive washing and abrasion can compromise comfort and lifespan.
