01
Herzog vs. other compression socks: what is the difference?

What is the difference between (lightly supportive) compression socks and Herzog Compression Stockings?

  • Herzog compression stockings are a recognised medical device whose effectiveness has been scientifically proven.
  • Herzog stockings are unique because the size is determined based onyourLeg measurements. Your leg measurements determine the shape and compression profile of your Herzog stocking. With almost all other compression brands, the size is determined based on your shoe size and/or calf circumference. However, for perfect compression, it's essential to measure five leg measurements. After all, two athletes with the same shoe size can have completely different leg contours. Consider, for example, the difference in calf circumference between a sprinter and a road runner.
  • Compared to other brands, Herzog socks offer significantly more pressure: over 30 mmHg at the ankle and 23 mmHg below the knee. Most other brands only provide a maximum of around 19 mmHg. For optimal blood circulation and injury prevention, 30 mmHg is absolutely essential.
02
What is the difference between compression tubes and compression stockings?

Compression tubes: provide targeted compression on the calves while leaving the foot free. Ideal if you want to continue wearing your own sports socks.

Compression stockings: cover the entire foot and provide extra support to the ankle and Achilles tendon – particularly suitable for recovery after exertion.
