Soccer players participate in a large number of matches each year. Their performance puts a lot of strain on the body: running, turning, pivoting, braking, accelerating, and sprinting—all actions that demand a great deal from the legs.
Soccer injuries
In the long list of common soccer injuries, calf strains and hamstring issues unfortunately rank high. Herzog's compression products offer targeted compression to help prevent these injuries and accelerate recovery.
Lower leg injuries
Lower leg complaints are frequent in soccer, given its contact nature, which often leads to bruises and swelling. Muscle pain, cramps, and strains are also common. Herzog PRO Compression Socks not only provide preventative benefits but also enhance recovery, ensuring you stay at your best on the field.
Professional players and their experiences
The Medical Center of the KNVB (Royal Dutch Football Association) is highly impressed with Herzog socks for top football players and professional referees. Various international players are currently using Herzog Sport Compression Socks regularly to stay fit and injury-free.
The Herzog Sport Compression Socks were first introduced during the European Under-21 Championships by the medical team under Foppe de Haan. They are now widely used by numerous professional football clubs during both training and matches. Herzog socks help prevent muscle fatigue, combat cramps, and enhance recovery after exercise.

"We train every day and I also attend the ALO (Academy for Physical Education). In short, I exercise quite a lot each day. I developed some upper leg issues and frequently experienced 'heavy legs,' which affected my ability to train intensely and made me unsure about competing. Since I started using these compression sleeves (thigh socks), those issues have almost completely disappeared. Whenever I feel muscle pain in my legs, I put them on, and the pain quickly fades. On match days, I always wear my compression sleeves. Since then, I’ve been able to play full matches without any problems the next day!"

“As a professional football player, it is important to be in optimal physical condition. Partly because of the Compry Recovery, which I use after a heavy training or competition, I feel good and recover better than if I did not do this. It is very easy to do, we have two at the physio and we also take them on the bus to an away match. I use the Compry Recovery at least twice a week, but sometimes twice in one day!”
