LIFE LONG BY GLEN CLYDE / TS-2 PLUS Cotton × CORDURA Pile Ankle Socks

LIFE LONG BY GLEN CLYDE
The "LIFELONG" line from sock brand GLEN CLYDE, offering socks designed to be worn for a lifetime. To challenge the idea that socks are simply consumable items, the brand provides socks with a permanent replacement guarantee.





The same "CORDURA" trusted in bags, now for your feet.
The material uses a special yarn that combines a cotton base with CORDURA, a highly durable material developed by INVISTA.

CORDURA nylon is known for its strength and is widely used in outdoor gear and bags. LIFE LONG blends 40% CORDURA into the yarn, achieving 6 to 10 times the strength of ordinary cotton socks.



However, durability is not the only focus. By incorporating cotton, the socks maintain a comfortable feel suitable for everyday wear. The carefully selected materials make them ideal for frequently worn situations such as daily commutes and weekends.

A longer lifespan means fewer replacements and less waste. By focusing on durability, these socks are made to last, helping reduce their environmental impact over time.



The PLUS difference is in the toe and heel.
The biggest difference from the original “TS-2” is the pile knitting used at the toe and heel.

The looped pile construction gently cushions the soles of the feet, adding softness and cushioning where it matters most. It is an ideal choice for days spent walking a lot or standing for long periods, helping provide added comfort underfoot.



The placement of pile fabric at the toe and heel, areas that experience the most friction from shoes, is another thoughtful detail. Combined with durable CORDURA-blend fabric, the design balances toughness with everyday comfort.

LIFE LONG also offers its own lifetime replacement guarantee. Certain conditions apply, so please check the brand’s official website for details on the eligibility requirements and replacement process.



There’s a reason for the 12cm length.
The socks measure approximately 12cm from the ankle. Rather than being an arbitrary measurement, this length was carefully developed to create the ideal balance when paired with shorts, giving the lower leg a clean, well-proportioned look.

Not as short as ankle socks, yet less pronounced than a crew sock, it offers the perfect middle ground. With shorts and sneakers, it reveals just the right amount of sock, while with long pants, it sits neatly around the ankle.

Despite its shorter length, the fabric has a substantial mid-weight construction. It holds its own with chunkier sneakers and remains versatile enough for year-round wear.
