How do compressions socks work?

By incorporating proven medical technology of gradual compression in our socks, blood circulation in your legs is promoted. The firm, gradual pressure provides you with extra support and prevents the feeling of heavy, painful and swollen legs.

Why do athletes wear compression socks?

To improve their performance and reduce (muscle) pain after physical exertion. The gradual compression helps to provide blood cells with oxygen and remove the buildup of lactate from the bloodstream.

Why do people wear compression socks throughout the day?

When standing or sitting for a prolonged period, you may notice that blood circulation in the lower legs is significantly slowed down. This can result in blood pooling in the feet and ankles. Our compression socks with a gradual compression profile help to stimulate blood circulation to prevent medical issues.

Do compression socks help to reduce swollen legs?

Gradual compression stimulates lymphatic drainage. Since gravity negatively affects the drainage of fluids and waste products, the body can use this help. The applied pressure is highest around the ankle and gradually decreases towards the knee. As a result of the gradual pressure of our compression socks, oxygen-poor blood is pushed back to the lymph and heart. This prevents fluid buildup and swelling in both feet and ankles.

What are the risks of prolonged standing or sitting?

Due to gravity, it is challenging for the body to pump blood from the lower legs to the heart and circulate it. After a prolonged period of inactivity, this becomes an even greater challenge, resulting in blood tending to accumulate in the feet and ankles. Poor blood circulation can lead to pain, fatigue, swelling, and thrombosis. By wearing our compression socks, you stimulate blood circulation, enabling you to get through the day without tired legs.
