Why are Herzog Compression Socks a must-have in winter?

Running in winter comes with its challenges. The cold, dark days and slippery roads can make it hard to stay motivated. But more importantly, the risk of muscle and tendon injuries increases significantly in winter. Low temperatures often make muscles stiffer, which increases the risk of overload. Fortunately, you can protect yourself and stay injury-free – with the right support, such as Herzog Compression Socks.

The Cold and Injuries: Why Winter Runners Are Extra Vulnerable

In winter, muscles, tendons and joints suffer more from the cold. The blood supply to the muscles is less optimal, which causes stiffness to occur more quickly and recovery takes longer. This can lead to aches and pains such as cramped calves or a nagging Achilles tendon. Without the right measures, these complaints can develop into serious injuries.

Fortunately, there is good news: with a combination of smart training and the support of Herzog Compression Stockings, you can prevent these complaints.

How do Herzog Compression Stockings work?

Herzog Compression Socks offer much more than just comfort while running. Thanks to their targeted pressure, they improve blood circulation in your legs, which is especially essential in cold weather. Improved blood flow ensures that your muscles and tendons are better supplied with oxygen, preventing stiffness and injuries. In addition, the socks reduce the shock load on your calves, which reduces the risk of strains or (micro) tears.

What makes Herzog Compression Stockings unique?

At Herzog, everything revolves around quality and precision. Our stockings are distinguished by a medical approach and a unique measuring system. With six measuring points, the perfect size for your legs is determined, so that the compression is optimally tailored to your body.

Herzog Compression Stockings also carry an official medical label (MDR), which means that they meet strict European standards for medical devices. This guarantees effective compression and top quality. With no fewer than 54 ready-to-wear sizes per colour, you will always find a stocking that fits perfectly. And a well-fitting compression stocking makes all the difference: stockings that are too tight impede blood circulation, while stockings that are too loose are not effective. With Herzog, you can be sure that you are choosing the best for your muscles and tendons.

Faster recovery after your workout

The benefits of Herzog Compression Stockings are not only noticeable while walking, but also at rest. The improved blood circulation ensures that waste products are removed more quickly, which speeds up your recovery after an intensive workout. This allows you to get back on the road more quickly, without suffering from muscle pain or fatigue.

“During my time as a physiotherapist at NAC Breda, I recommended the PRO Compression Shorts from Herzog Medical to many players. These trousers are worn both preventively and curatively. Within football, the incidence of groin and hamstring injuries is high. With Herzog shorts you, as a physiotherapist, have an extra tool to properly manage these problems.”
