From shin splints to heel spurs and knee problems – below you'll find a clear overview of the most common injuries. Click on an injury to read about its causes, recognisable symptoms, recovery advice, and tips to prevent recurrence.
Herzog socks keep the calf muscle compact, reducing the shock load on the lower leg. Already dealing with a muscle tear? Herzog socks act like a ‘supportive patch’: the compression pushes the torn muscle fibers closer together, accelerating the healing process.
Herzog socks support venous return and enhance circulation toward the heart. This optimizes the removal of lactic acid and carbon dioxide. Better circulation means faster oxygen delivery to the muscles, contributing to quicker recovery and improved performance during exercise.
Running puts significant strain on the Achilles tendons. A dull ache is often a sign your body needs extra support. Herzog socks stabilize the calf muscles, reducing tension on the tendon and lowering the risk of injury.
Herzog socks are knitted with advanced microfibers for optimal thermal regulation. Breathable materials wick away moisture quickly, keeping your feet dry in both warm and cold conditions.
Common injuries among runners include:
These are often caused by overload or incorrect running technique. Good compression can play an important role in prevention and recovery
Compression improves blood circulation, reduces fluid retention (edema) and supports the muscles. This speeds up the recovery process, reduces pain and helps you get back to your sport faster.
The right size compression stocking, tailored to your body, prevents recurrence of injuries.
Absolutely. Preventative compression helps prevent injuries by stabilizing the muscles and preventing overload. Especially during intensive training or competitions, compression can make the difference between a fit and an overloaded muscle.
A good fit is crucial for effective compression. With Herzog's advanced sizing system based on individual calf and ankle circumference, you can be sure that the compression works optimally. Get measured or use the online size chart.
Compression stockings are generally safe and above all effective, but in some cases their use is not recommended, such as:
In case of doubt or underlying medical conditions, it is always wise to consult a doctor or specialist before intensive use.
"I have introduced a number of avid golfers, walkers and runners to the socks without injuries. By wearing the socks, they indicated that both during everyday life and during exercise, the feet became much less tired and swollen. The feedback provided What I got back was that the socks feel comfortable on the foot and clearly provide more support under the arch of the foot compared to regular socks."

"I have been walking with the socks for some time now. I like them very much because the tendon plate under the foot is clearly calmer. So this is certainly a useful addition to the current treatment of plantar fascia complaints and heel spurs. It also strikes me that the plantar The fat capiton under the heel (fat pad under the heel bone) is held together nicely, which improves the natural shock absorption. I got clear relief from pain in my tendon plate when walking for a little longer."
