Compression on the arch of the foot

The compression ankle sock offers firm compression on the arch of the foot and around the heel-instep line. The tendon sheet that connects the heel bone to the ball of the forefoot runs under the foot. This extra compression is important to maintain the natural curvature of the sole of the foot and to relieve the load on the tendon plate, so that the arch of the foot will sag less. Stretched ligaments and weaker muscles are now provided with corrective support. This makes an important contribution to preventing irritation of the tendon plate and keeps the arch of the foot in tension.

Swollen feet

Many walkers and sometimes runners are familiar with the 'swollen' feet phenomenon during and after a brisk walk or run. Until now, there was no other remedy for this than raising the legs during breaks and after exercise. But here is a solution: the Herzog Sport Compression Ankle Socks.

Causes and how to prevent

The cause of this discomfort is mainly due to the binding of fluid with the protein-rich breakdown products that are released during exercise. This fluid (edema) cannot be removed quickly enough by the venous system from the feet and ankles during exercise. A contribution to faster drainage can be made by administering measured compression from the outside. A technique that was developed by Herzog in the 1990s and continued to be perfected.

Extra compression on the arch and ankle region running down to the bottom of the calf ensures:

  • that moisture with the waste products from the combustion process are removed more quickly,
  • and therefore less edema formation can occur in the foot.
