Sweat Sugar

This past semester while I was in my blogging class, the one guy was training for a marathon. He had this awesome blog that talked about his progress towards training. Unfortunately, he hurt his foot somehow, so he had to drop from the race. It made me find a lot of gear for running and biking though.

These shoes were created by The Carbon Pro Team. Louis Garneau, the designer, uses an Ice-Fil insole that allowed the show to stop heat from building up. The insole uses a natural sweetener called xylitol, an alcohol bases sugar, to convert sweat into cool air in the show. The show fibers are able to moderate temperature and moisture by absorbing heat and converting it to cooler air.
