Pathos foot pockets
Imersion Foot Pockets
If you are choosing between Pathos or Imersion foot pockets, there are a couple of differences that should be noted. If you have wider feet and a low arch, you may prefer to use Pathos foot pockets (typically worn with socks). If you have narrower feet and a high arch, you may prefer Imersion foot pockets (can be worn with or without socks) instead.
