Trail running is an emerging variant of running that takes you through pristine nature. This form of running is particularly demanding due to the varied terrain, ranging from scenic walking and forest paths to rocky single tracks. Significant elevation changes are often part of the challenge as well. To reduce the risk of calf strains and shin splints, and to promote faster recovery, more and more runners are turning to compression socks and tubes.
It's common to keep your compression socks on after a workout, transitioning them from training to recovery mode. This helps flush out waste products, promoting faster leg recovery.
Herzog PRO Compression Socks
Wearing Herzog PRO Compression Socks during trail running supports and stimulates your calf muscles. The socks' special pressure gradient efficiently absorbs the shock load on your lower legs, reducing muscle damage and soreness. Additionally, they decrease the strain on your Achilles tendons and shin splints, ensuring a more comfortable and injury-free run.

Hans Dickhout, trail runner
"When trail running, I always wear Herzog PRO socks because they absorb shock load. For me, the model with foot works best. I keep them on after the activity to promote blood circulation, which speeds up my recovery. It's important to note: the tubes, without foot, should be taken off after your training or race. The socks with foot don't have to be removed and continue to aid in recovery post-exercise."
