The Infinite provides our flexible arch support, ankle stability, and energy absorption. However, here are some other unique fit features of the Infinite: Mid-calf profile seamless design No compression in the toes offering our most freedom fit and room in the toes Beloved by ballerinas coming out of pointe shoes or those with bunions Knit-in energy absorption pads in the ball of the foot AND the heel Have a pair after pointe class to slip on and wear around the house to come back to class each day with fresh feet! Graduated compression up the calf Helps with recovery from shin splints and aching calves Perfect for long days on your feet, extra support needs, travel, and recovery Some LOVE this snug hug, others find it claustrophobic If you crave extra support, the Infinite is for you, however, if you prefer a lower profile and full coverage option, look at the Performance or AMP styles Mid-calf profile stays in place, does not slip down The ONLY dancer footwear awarded the American Podiatric Medical Association Seal of Acceptance (along with ALL Apolla Shock styles). Meaning the APMA says they are good for your feet! A massage for your feet, you won't believe the difference they make on your whole body! To keep strong arches, it is good to help lift them and give them support in class, and during recovery Premium and Durable Footwear Patented highly-engineered knit design made with quality performance yarns, creating durable footwear that will outlast any other dance shoe several times over We recommend you replace a pair once a year, but you may want more colors, styles, or a pair for performance and class...but you won't need to replace them through the year due to them not lasting. Knit-in Energy Absorption A 2019 independent study at Ohio University showed Apolla socks reduced force. Our padding on the ball of the foot AND the heel provides comfort for your metatarsals but is not too thick in shoes. Additional Features You can choose NON or WITH our patented refreshable, invisible traction Anti-microbial (they don't stink) Moisture-wicking (keep your feet dry) Durable They are washable Recyclable Apolla socks are anatomically correct. There is an L & R knit into the inside cuff that tells you if it is “Left” or “Right. You don't have to wash them as often as a typical sock but unlike your dance shoes, you CAN wash them!
