A growing trend among competitive athletes is the use of compression socks to help improve performance.  Compression therapy is a hot topic in sports media right now as a growing number of triathletes, marathon runners, and professional sports athletes are trying compression socks to improve their performance. Whether it’s during the actual event, after the event, or even while traveling, athletes are making graduated compression socks part of their everyday attire.

A number of sock manufacturers are claiming to offer “compression” socks for athletic use.  Unfortunately, many of these so-called “compression” socks do not have true graduated compression.  Instead, they may feature a tight foot band, or vertical stripes, plus a wide variety of other useless features meant to imply foot or leg support.

We sell a variety of compression socks that give athletes real graduated compression.  The newest is the Sigvaris Athletic Recovery sock with 15-20mmHg of compression.   It’s the perfect combination of looks, graduated support, moisture management and odor control in a running sock.

The Sigvaris Athletic Recovery sock is available in styles for men and women and currently priced at $29.25.
