Compression socks
Compression socks feel good, help alleviate certain medical issues, and enhance sports performance. Modern compression socks look great, too.
Compression sock benefits: People with circulatory issues use knee-high compression socks that hug the entire calf and foot. The increased pressure on the lower legs assists the arteries and veins in moving blood into and out of the legs.
Compression sock types: Standard compression socks are snug along the entire leg. Graduated compression socks are tighter at the ankle and gradually loosen above the ankle. Compression sleeves have no foot part, while compression socks for plantar fasciitis help protect painful heels.
Compression sock use:Compression socks should feel snug but not so tight that they hurt your legs or restrict movement. Select socks that are the right size for your calves and/or feet, so the material lays smoothly against your skin. Never fold or roll the tops of your compression socks, since the socks can restrict circulation when folded or rolled.
