Compression socks: the key to a successful outing!

Les chaussettes de compression, la clé d’une sortie réussie !
3D anti-fatigue compression socks for hiking / travel will be the essential asset for all your activities. Whether during air travel, sport, or recovery — compression socks will become your constant companion!  

Benefits of compression

Improved venous return

Thanks to their compression system, the socks improve venous return. Muscles are better oxygenated and the feeling of fatigue is reduced. Designed without seams, the 3D anti-fatigue compression socks for hiking / travel enhance comfort during use and adapt perfectly to the shape of the calf.

Muscle fibre protection

Although this benefit has not been scientifically proven, wearing compression socks during exercise plays a protective role for your muscles. The support and calf compression provided by the socks help reduce the impact of the ground on the muscles, which tends to cause microtears in important muscle fibres.

How does compression work?

For a muscle to contract, it needs oxygen and energy (in the form of modified sugar). Blood is carried to the muscle via arteries and returns to the heart via the veins. For blood to reach the muscles, the heart acts as a pump — unlike the venous system, which requires no pump. When a muscle is compressed, venous return becomes difficult. The compression provided by the socks is designed to improve this venous return, allowing blood to flow back towards the heart and making room in the muscle for oxygenated blood coming from the heart.

How to use compression socks

Socks for in-flight comfort

During flights, muscle immobility the compression socks will help reduce the feeling of heavy legs caused by pressure changes. During a flight, the immobility can slow venous return and cause calf compression. Wearing compression socks will help counter this. The sensation of heavy legs will be reduced, allowing you to travel in greater comfort.

An essential ally during effort

During your sporting activities, the 3D compression socks will support your foot, reducing the risk of injury. Whether during Nordic walking, trekking, trail, sport walking, hiking, mountaineering or skiing, these socks will be a great asset and will effectively protect you during exercise.

Getting back to your best with compression socks

Worn for a minimum of 2 hours during the recovery phase, the compression sockn will help you avoid cramps and muscle soreness and speed up recovery, so you can go again the next day.
