Running and training socks: settle the sole and the knit before the price
Training socks fail in two places: under the foot, where the cushion sits, and in the knit, where moisture goes. Both are settled before we quote. Six styles here list running. All of them come off the same floor.
A two-style order, and its clock
The minimum counts per style, so a program buy is two lines on the quotation. Two styles, two minimums — 1,000 pairs each, which is a starting point rather than a fixed floor.
Transit sits outside production: approx. 25–40 days by sea, 5–10 by air, 3–7 by express. It is quoted by destination.

of the 19 styles published here
From brief to loading, on the published clocks
| Step | What happens | Clock | Who starts it |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Brief and artwork confirmed | Day 0 | You, on the brief form or by email |
| 02 | Sampling | 3–5 days | The floor, once the brief and artwork are confirmed |
| 03 | You approve the sample and the deposit is paid | Your round | Nothing is knitted before both |
| 04 | Bulk knitting | 20–30 days | The floor, from deposit and the approved sample |
| 05 | Transit | approx. 25–40 days by sea, 5–10 by air, 3–7 by express | Booked on your terms, quoted by destination |
Added up: 23–35 days from brief to goods ready to load, and 48–75 days to a sea arrival. That is arithmetic on the clocks above, not a promise — the dates for your order are confirmed on your quotation, and a running program needs the brief in before its race calendar, not after.

Four constructions that cover a running program
A program usually buys two of these, because they answer different questions.
Cushion, compression or both
Premium Athletic Crew Socks
breathable quick-dry knit, cushioned sole, logo-ready cuff. Listed for daily training and gym wear.
Professional Cushioned Athletic Socks
cushioned sole, breathable knit, anti-slip treatment. Listed for running, basketball, cycling and soccer.

Thigh High Compression Socks
compression knit through calf and thigh, anti-slip top band. Listed for cycling and marathon running.
Needle count, dye lot, one desk
We set aside the dye lot, so the second shipment matches the first. Each style is knitted on the needle count written on its sheet, not on whichever machine is free.

Questions a running brand asks before the first order
Is 20–30 mmHg a medical claim?
No. We publish the pressure class as listed and confirm it on your quotation. The style is supplied for running, marathon, cycling and football, with no therapeutic claim.
Do you price per style or per program?
Per style, on a proforma invoice. Your specification, color count and quantity set the price. There is no posted price list.
Can we specify our own yarn?
Yes, inside what this floor runs. Yarn composition is a line on the specification sheet, and the blend is confirmed on your quotation. If it cannot run here, the reply says so.
Can we inspect before shipping?
Yes. Book SGS, BV or TUV, or send your own inspector. The floor gives them access and the records they ask for, and the report goes to you.
Two styles from the catalog for this use
Both are current listings on this floor. Each card opens the style’s own page, with the photographs and specification sheet that settle the questions above.
Send the miles, not a product name
Give us the surface, the season and the quantity band. Say whether the program needs compression as well as cushion. We reply within one working day.
