The Sensoria® Core socks boast intuitive textile sensors that monotor a wearer's "step count, speed, calories, altitude and distance tracking." In addition to its sophisticated tracking capabilities, the smart socks also go one step further to track "cadence, foot landing technique and the impact score generated as you walk and run."
The socks are paired with a Bluetooth Smart cool and detachable Core that ensures data tracking accuracy and that makes real-time data collection and synchronization more seamless if using a smartphone.
Sensoria® Core socks are ideal for active consumers and go beyond tracking activity and speed levels to identify posture patterns. The socks will identify if a runner's form will make them more prone to injury and even suggest where improvements can be made with the help of a mobile coaching app and real-time audio cues.
