Detailed Introduction
The caste system is an ancient social hierarchy, with the Indian caste system being the most prominent example. This culture is built upon the Hindu concept of reincarnation. The caste system comprises four main tiers, dividing Indians by social rank: Brahmins (priests), Kshatriyas (warriors), Vaisyas (merchants and farmers), and Sudras (laborers or servants). Significant differences exist in marriage, justice, social welfare, and status based on one's caste.
After India gained independence from British rule in 1947, the caste system was legally abolished, making discrimination based on caste illegal. However, the influence of the caste system can still be observed in daily life. Despite this, the Indian government, having undergone several changes in leadership and even electing two Dalit presidents, continues its efforts towards democracy and equal human rights to dismantle the deeply ingrained caste system in the minds of many Indians.
# Flip Sock Design
Inspired by traditional Indian henna art. Henna (Mehendi in Hindi) refers to the henna plant and has been used since ancient Egypt, spreading to the Middle East and then to India, where it became a symbol of auspiciousness and blessings, an indispensable element in traditional Indian festivals and weddings. Historically, lower-caste individuals would apply henna for those of higher status. However, with the passage of time, henna artistry has evolved, becoming a skill accessible to everyone, regardless of age or profession.
The overall design draws inspiration from the tangible image of Ganesha, the elephant-headed god of wisdom. Elements include the traditional motif of the Mandala, symbolizing the center of all things and the entirety of the universe. FLIPPOS firmly believes that human conviction stems from thought, hence we have incorporated Sahasrara, the crown chakra, which opens wisdom and enhances thinking, into the imagery. This is paired with Ganesha's lotus seat, symbolizing a pure heart and the happiness that comes from constant gratitude. When the socks are flipped, the originally lighter color becomes the main body, symbolizing that henna has been painted onto our skin, spiritually and mentally bestowing us with energy, joy, and good fortune.
**WHY FLIPPOS?**
The initial idea behind FLIPPOS Flip Socks was to create an all-in-one compression sock suitable for work, allowing you to transition directly to exercise after work, all with a single pair of socks.
Considering that modern lifestyles often involve prolonged sitting or standing, leading to discomfort in the feet and calves, these compression socks apply "gradual pressure" from the soles of the feet to the calves to alleviate this condition.
Furthermore, wearing Flip Socks during exercise can effectively reduce muscle oscillation, generate greater athletic power, and accelerate post-exercise fatigue recovery.
Flip Length, Flip Attitude
To accommodate any occasion and any outfit, Flip Socks feature a unique reversible design. They can be worn below the knee or folded down to the calf, transforming from long socks to short socks in an instant.
★ Length before flipping: Below the knee
★ Length after flipping: 18cm above the ankle
FLIPPOS Maze Cushioning Plus (MCP) System
The pursuit of product perfection is FLIPPOS' ultimate goal. This time, we have upgraded our original exclusive maze sole system, enhancing the "knitted maze damping" on the sole of the foot.
Both the softness and the speed of rebound have been significantly improved. Therefore, during running, jumping, or hiking, the noticeable shock absorption effect prevents power loss, allowing for complete release of athletic energy.

FLIP-Lite Series
To adapt to increasingly extreme climates, FLIPPOS has reduced the thickness of the Flip Socks by 30% through different weaving techniques and designs, while increasing the proportion of mesh fabric across the entire sock surface. They feel like a second skin, offering a lighter, more breathable experience, with the supportive embrace of gradual compression during daily life or exercise.

Compression Level
FLIPPOS Flip Socks have a compression level of 15-25 mmHg, suitable for daily use and not considered medical devices, thus not requiring medical certification.
Applicable Scenarios
Daily wear, before and after exercise (running, cycling, skateboarding, hiking, strength training, etc.), travel, long-haul flights, or for improving leg discomfort during and after pregnancy.
Material
Egyptian Cotton Feel & Silver Ion
The primary material of Flip Socks is a blend of technical nylon and Lycra. This material is four times more expensive than regular combed cotton and its main functions are quick-drying, moisture-wicking, and a feel comparable to Egyptian cotton. Additionally, silver ion deodorizing technology is incorporated into the sole, which does not diminish in effectiveness over time or with washing.
85% Technical Nylon
7% Lycra
4% Cotton

Washing Instructions
Hand washing is the optimal method to prolong the product's lifespan; avoid vigorous rubbing or friction.
For machine washing, it is recommended to turn the socks inside out and place them in a laundry bag. Water temperature should be below 30°C, using a neutral detergent (pH between 6-8).
Do not use bleach, fluorescent whitening agents, fabric softeners, or soak for extended periods in sports-specific detergents.
Avoid powdered detergents, as they can clog the micro-gaps in the socks, diminishing their functionality.
If you are concerned about your laundry detergent causing color fading, wash separately.
Wash dark and light colors separately. Do not soak or dry clean.
Avoid direct sunlight and tumble dryers; air drying is preferred.
