Tom Ehlen has been wearing Herzog for years. The compression of the socks and shorts keeps his muscles stable upon impact, helping him stay injury-free and recover faster after training or competition.
Canicross, a form of trail running where the runner is pulled by a dog, demands even higher speeds than traditional running. In his races, Tom is accompanied by his loyal companion, Tobi the dog.

"The Herzog compression definitely gives me the most support, extra important during canicrossing with my dog Tobi, where the impact is considerably higher! An additional advantage is also the protection of my lower legs while canicrossing at high speed through the woods and often narrow single trails. During canicross and running competitions I now also wear the PRO Sport Compression Shorts; due to the anatomical fit and the lack of zippers and pockets, this works optimally with the hip belt that I wear during canicross. Before and after the competitions, for which I often do. When I am on the road for a long time, I wear the PRO Compression Socks to arrive on location with fit legs and to recover faster. I also wear the socks during my (standing) work as a physiotherapist."
