Sockwell Socks: Every Man’s Compression Socks

You work hard, you play hard and you deserve the best for your feet and legs. Compression socks can give you that extra lift you need to stay motivated and healthy no matter where life takes you. Sockwell socks give you all of that and the style you want and need. See how compression can help you be your best everyday.

Compression Socks While You Work

Standing and sitting can take a real toll on your health. Studies suggest that standing for more than two hours every work shift can increase your risk for musculoskeletal problems, circulation problems, vein disorders, fatigue and back pain. Sitting for long hours also poses problems because not only does the blood begin to pool in your feet and legs, but bent knees and hips further inhibit circulation.

Compression socks work against gravity to create a better environment for blood flow by narrowing your veins (sounds contradictory, we know) and allowing better circulation. This can also reduce the chance of blood clots, decrease fatigue and keep you feeling better on the job. Some of the careers that benefit the most from compression socks are:

• Airline pilots and attendants
• Teachers and retail workers
• Executives and office personnel
• Construction workers and drivers
• Fitness and medical professionals

For a look that’s professional and classic, try the Argyle or Bart moderate compression over the calf socks. If you’re more into a crew sock, the Ascend II or the Summit Crew may be your answer.

Compression Socks for the Weekend Warrior

You don’t have to be a professional athlete to garner the benefits of compression socks. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or work out all the time, compression may be your ticket to better performance and a faster recovery. While the verdict is still out on whether compression can improve performance during athletic activity, studies have shown that it definitely helps during the 24 hours after a heavy workout or competition. The ideal amount is 15-25 mmHg, which means any of our Sockwell compression socks will provide the compression you need to recover well.

Sockwell socks are even better for athletes and active men because our fiber combination are naturally antimicrobial, wicking away moisture to help keep your feet healthy and dry. This also reduces and eliminates the odor caused by sweat and moisture. Some of the sports and activities that could benefit from you wearing compression socks include:

• Endurance sports like long-distance running and cycling
• Hiking and mountain climbing
• Team sports like basketball, football, hockey and soccer
• Individual sports like tennis, golf or skiing

For great and great-looking choices in compression socks, try Sockwell’s Flash, Pacer or Ski Medium styles.

Compression Socks for Health and Recovery

Life isn’t all fun and games. Sometimes even your best efforts can’t avoid an unwanted health condition or injury, but compression socks can help you deal with the symptoms of some chronic conditions and recover better from injury and surgery. Because of compression’s ability to create better circulation and prevent blood clots, wearing compression socks can aid in your recovery after surgeries or any time you need to stay off your feet for long stretches of time. Some of the health conditions that may benefit from compression include:

• Diabetes
• Deep Vein Thrombosis, or DVT
• Other vein disorders
• Orthostatic Hypotension
• Restless Leg Syndrome
• Shin Splints
• Plantar Fasciitis
• Runner’s Knee

In addition to all the great styles Sockwell has to offer in men’s compression socks, we also have a full line of plantar relief socks with extra cushioning in the sole, arch support and ankle support to help get you back on your feet sooner.
