We use PURE SILVER FIBER woven in our shoe insoles because it is the top of the line in odor protection, moisture wicking, protects against hot spots and blisters. 

WHY SILVER?

 What If I am allergic to SILVER Jewelry?

Silver is widely used today in medical products and in consumer products. In fact, the very first drug most people are given at birth is silver nitrate, in the form of eye drops. Today, silver is used in everything from burn care for infection control to eating utensils. The best colloquial example is the abundance of silver fillings for dental repair. 

Kicks For Gents products are extremely safe because the lining is made with a pure silver adhered right to the fiber. Prestigious institutions throughout the world have validated the antimicrobial performance and safety of silver fibers in many published medical journals.

Some people are allergic to silver jewelry and make the assumption that they are allergic to silver. On the contrary, silver jewelry is made from an alloy called “sterling silver” and the people are allergic to the various other metals in its makeup.

Kicks For Gents footwear with Silver Fabric Insoles are made with a pure silver and there have been NO documented cases of allergies to pure silver.

What about safety testing?

Silver Fabric has more than 12 years of published clinical research supporting its safety and claims. The Silver fabric is also used in many Class 1 and Class 2 FDA-approved medical devices. The top institutions in the world, including Johns Hopkins and the National Institute of Health, have tested, approved of, and currently use Silver Fabric – the same fiber in Kicks For Gents footwear.
