In 1999, the Romay brothers set out to redesign the basic structure and shape of the regular sock. Their intentions were pure and simple: “We wanted to create the best possible interface that allowed the entire foot to perform naturally and freely inside our shoes, just like being barefoot. There had to be a way to combine the comfort and dexterity of bare feet with the protection of a seamless sock. Everything about the conventional tube sock works against your feet’s natural form and function.
On 23rd. October 2005, the first fully documented run around the world was completed - the World Run. During this run, some ultrarunners met up and decided that it could be interesting to go for the ultimate longest distance in the history of distance running - a run from the North to the South and back. This time not it would be the goal of a single runner but of a group of international runners: World Run 2: The North - South Run !
