Aetrex Worldwide, Inc. is pleased to introduce its ground-breaking new sock line made with Copper Sole Technology. Aetrex Copper Socks have been tested in FDA Certified labs and has been found to eliminate 99.9% of several bacteria and fungi to control odor. Unlike any other sock, Aetrex Copper socks rejuvenate the skin and improve texture and appearance. In addition, the socks wick away moisture to keep feet healthy, cool and dry. All Aetrex copper socks are made with Cupron™ Yarn. “As one of the leading foot health companies in the industry, we believe it’s imperative to stay on top of industry trends,” says CEO Larry Schwartz. “We aim to remain one step ahead with our new technologies and footwear products.” The antimicrobial properties of copper have been known for thousands of years. It is used today as a fungicide and bactericide treatment. Yet unlike some anti-bacterial textile treatments, bacteria have never formed a resistance to copper. Moreover, copper is the only natural element that plays a vital role in collagen formation, a connective tissue in the skin. In a 2004-2005 study, Dr. Richard C. Zatcoff, DPM, tracked the foot health of 51 patients, including 21 with diabetes. His study showed that patients wearing Copper Sole Socks had significant improvement in the appearance and texture of their skin, particularly around their toes and the soles of their feet. “Our new Aetrex Socks, with Copper Sole Technology is not just another sock, it can actually help improve your foot health,” adds Schwartz. Aetrex has partnered with Renfro Corporation, a leading sock manufacturer, to create its new cutting-edge product. The line includes athletic, non-binding, dress/casual and compression support styles.

Aetrex Worldwide, Inc. is headquartered in Teaneck, NJ and currently employs 170 people, including 28 board certified pedorthists.
