Collection: Compression & Support Socks

What is the difference and which is most suitable?

What is a Compression sock?

Wear compression running socks during exercise or for recovery after injury.

During exercise, they support and stabilize the calf muscles and lower-limb soft tissues. As a result, they improve biomechanical efficiency and guard against compartment syndrome. Additionally they boost blood flow, helping remove lactate from the muscles. They enhance proprioception, keeping the body balanced and aware of its position.

As a recovery aid, compression socks promote blood and lymphatic flow. Therefore, this speeds up lactate removal from the lower leg muscles after exercise. They also reduce swelling to support faster recovery.

What is a Support Sock?

Support socks target compression to aid the function of muscles in the lower limb and foot. In particular, the unique Ultimate Performance Support Sock supports almost all the major ligaments and tendons in the foot and ankle.

Long running socks

Most running socks are ankle or crew length. However, if you prefer a long running sock then compression socks are the solution. In addition to compression and support they provide warmth to your muscles whilst you run. Also protecting you from stinging nettles when running through rough ground.

Plantar fasciitis sock

The Plantar fasciitis sock is on of the most effective treatments for this common cause of heel pain. Wear overnight to help prevent the calf muscles and arch of your foot tightening up.
