Graduated Compression for Training and Recovery

Graduated compression socks apply the firmest pressure around the ankle, then gradually decrease that pressure further up the leg. This creates a supportive feel without applying the same level of compression from top to bottom.

Runners and CrossFit athletes can use graduated running compression socks during demanding training sessions, while lifters can choose it for support during workouts and recovery. Tactical users and active professionals may appreciate the secure fit during long periods on their feet. 

Travelers can also wear our compression socks for men during extended flights or road trips when they expect to spend hours sitting.
