Compression stockings during your trail

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."

Why are compression socks suitable for trail running?

For trail running, compression socks with firm support and a precise fit are most suitable. During trail runs, your calves, ankles, and Achilles tendons endure a lot due to elevation changes, uneven surfaces, and long distances. Good compression socks help reduce muscle vibrations and provide extra stability while running.

Many trail runners therefore choose compression socks that:

  • provide firm compression on the calves
  • fit snugly without slipping
  • offer support for ankles and lower legs
  • help with tired legs during long distances
  • provide support for complaints such as shin splints or Achilles tendon problems

Herzog PRO Compression Socks are widely used by trail runners due to their high compression and extensive sizing system. Because the socks are precisely fitted, they conform well to the lower leg and offer targeted support during long and intense trails. They can also help reduce the strain on calves and Achilles tendons during technical or hilly courses.

01
Do compression socks help with long trail runs?

Veel trailrunners ervaren tijdens lange trails minder snel zware of vermoeide benen met compressiekousen. De compressie ondersteunt de kuitspieren tijdens langdurige inspanning en kan extra comfort geven tijdens ultratrails of bergachtige parcoursen.

02
Can compression socks help with ascents and descents?

Ja, vooral tijdens afdalingen krijgen de kuiten en bovenbenen veel schokken te verwerken. Compressiekousen helpen spiertrillingen te verminderen en geven extra ondersteuning tijdens lange afdalingen en technische stukken.

03
Do compression socks help against shin splints in trail running?

Compressiekousen kunnen ondersteuning bieden bij shin splints door de belasting op spieren en pezen rondom het scheenbeen te helpen verminderen. Veel trailrunners gebruiken compressie preventief bij gevoelige schenen of terugkerende onderbeenklachten.

04
Are compression socks suitable for wet and muddy trails?

Yes, good compression socks fit snugly around the lower leg and therefore remain comfortable, even in wet or muddy conditions. A good fit is important to prevent slipping and irritation.
