Mizuno "BIO GEAR Calf Tights" Achieves comfortable movement without burdening Fukurahagi
BIOGEAR series developed to push the limits. BIOGEAR supports athletes who want to reach a new level and discover their new self. Mr. Takada, who is in charge of planning for Mizuno, told me about the features of BIOGEAR calf tights that I wore at the Osaka Marathon. After that, he also touched on running socks.

Innerwear for maximizing performance is compression wear. It mainly puts pressure on the body and fits it, making it possible to maximize performance. Besides running, it is used in many sports such as baseball, soccer, tennis, and trekking.
-CoBenefits of impression wear
If the movement during sports becomes intense, the muscles will shake greatly. Continued vibration of the muscles accumulates damage to the muscles, increasing the risk of muscle strain and other injuries. Compression wear suppresses vibrations, reduces damage, and allows muscles and joints to move smoothly.

Supports fluffy hagi
By supporting the calf part so that it is pushed up from below, it becomes easier to apply force.

--About calf tights
Takada: The calf is also based on BIOGEAR 8000II, and has a draping design that fully supports the muscles of Fukurahagi. Generally, people who are closer to beginners tend to wear full-support type long tights. If you are a high-level runner and feel pain with the full support type, you will probably wear a combination of short tights and calf tights to race.
Calf tights suppress the vibration of fluffy tights and support them so that they do not cramp. By making the cutting structure along the muscles, the runner should be able to run to the goal. Some people will be wearing it for the purpose of keeping warm in winter races, and I think it will help many runners.

--About running socks
Takada: Socks are roughly divided into speed type and support type.
For the speed type, the point is the design that enables a sense of unity with the shoes by the grip function. It's suitable for serious runners who want to wear thin-soled shoes and run hard. We have conducted durability tests on the grip many times and adopted a silicon material.
The support type is designed to prevent the arch from falling by firmly lifting the arch. If you run for a long time, the arch will fall and you will not be able to grasp the ground, so we will support you so that it does not happen. Those who aim for sub 4 are eligible.
There are two types of socks: round and five-finger. Which one is better is your preference. If you like the feeling of holding firmly with your toes, you tend to wear five fingers. It seems comfortable to move five fingers freely.
There are round socks that are not five-fingered, and you can find out which type is best for you by wearing five-fingered socks once.

The calf tights are thin and light, and I think they prevented the muscles from shaking even if they moved violently. It was easy to run because it fits and fits the entire fluffy hagi.·

The above image is after the marathon goal. There was no deviation even when running, and I felt that my feet and shoes were integrated. The texture, decay resistance and breathability were quite good.
