Compression on the arch of the foot

The compression ankle sockprovides firm compression on the arch of the foot and around the heel-instep line. Under the foot runs the plantar fascia, which connects the heel bone to the ball of the forefoot. This extra compression is important to maintain the natural arch of the sole and relieve the plantar fascia, which will reduce the sagging of the arch. Stretched ligaments and weaker muscles are now corrective supported. This makes an important contribution to preventing irritation of the plantar fascia and keeps the arch of the foot taut.

Swollen feet

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

Causes and how to prevent them

The cause of this discomfort lies mainly in the binding of fluid with the protein-rich waste products released during exercise. This fluid (edema) cannot be removed quickly enough from the feet and ankles by the venous system during exercise. A contribution to faster drainage can be made by applying controlled compression from the outside. A technique that was developed by Herzog already in the 90s of the 20th century and has been continuously perfected.

Extra compression on the arch of the foot and ankle region, tapering towards the bottom of the calf, ensures:

  • that fluid with the waste products of the combustion process is drained more quickly,
  • and thus less edema can form in the foot.
