Unmatched Quality and Durability

Our running socks feature a high percentage of premium Australian merino wool, delivering natural softness, strength, and breathability.

Experience the pinnacle of performance with our Xfit Xtreme Compression Socks — the only Australian-made, technologically advanced compression socks available. These feature zoned breathability panels for airflow and seamless, gradient compression panels that enhance blood flow, muscle containment, and recovery.
