FAQs
What is the main benefit of graduated compression?
Graduated compression is designed to improve blood flow by applying more pressure at the ankle and less pressure higher up the leg, which can help reduce fatigue and swelling during and after running.
Are these socks suitable for everyday wear?
While comfortable, these socks are specifically designed for athletic performance, particularly running. They may be more compressive than typical everyday socks.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Sizing is typically based on shoe size. Refer to the product's sizing chart for precise recommendations. A properly fitting compression sock should feel snug but not painfully tight.
Can I use these socks for other sports?
These socks are optimized for running, but the compression and cushioning may also be beneficial for other high-impact sports or activities where leg fatigue is a concern.
What does the DRX moisture management fabric do?
DRX is a technology designed to actively pull moisture (sweat) away from your skin to the outer surface of the fabric, where it can evaporate, helping to keep your feet dry and comfortable.
How often should I replace my running socks?
Running socks, especially compression socks, lose their effectiveness over time with wear and washing. It's generally recommended to replace them every 6-12 months, or when you notice a decrease in compression or cushioning.
What is the material composition?
The socks are made from a blend of 41% Tactel, 34% nylon, 10% cotton, 10% polyester, and 5% Lycra.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the issue persists, it may be that compression socks are not suited to your personal preference or needs. Try wearing them for shorter durations initially.
Reduced moisture-wicking effectiveness.
Ensure socks are clean and free from fabric softener buildup, which can impede moisture management. Follow washing instructions carefully.
Socks slipping down the leg.
Verify that the socks are the correct size and that the leg is not excessively damp before putting them on. The Lycra blend should provide a snug fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
