Ask any walker what they often struggle with, and they'll quickly mention heavy or tired legs. Many outdoor enthusiasts frequently deal with stiff or burning calves, which can really put a damper on the enjoyment of walking. Sure, you could prop up your legs or visit a masseuse after your hike, but there's an easier way! By wearing Herzog Support Compression Socks, you can avoid these issues and keep your walks fun and enjoyable!
Recovery after exertion
{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"During prolonged exercise, such as the Nijmegen Four Days Marches, muscle tissue undergoes breakdown. While this might sound dramatic, it's a normal process from which the body recovers quickly. However, excessive breakdown can be problematic because muscle tissue is primarily composed of protein, which attracts moisture. This leads to edema, or fluid buildup, in the lower legs. By the third and fourth days of the Nijmegen Marches, many walkers visibly experience this issue. Excess fluid accumulation in the intercellular spaces disrupts optimal blood flow, impeding the venous return of blood, which carries away waste products and carbon dioxide."}]},{"type":"heading","level":2,"children":[{"type":"text","value":" "},{"type":"text","value":"How Herzog socks works","bold":true},{"type":"text","value":"\n"}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"The Herzog Support Compression Socks provide graduated pressure that decreases from the ankle to the knee. This promotes blood flow from the capillary network back to the heart, helping to better remove waste products from the metabolic process.

De werking van de kous
De Herzog Support Compressiekous geeft een nauwkeurig opgebouwde druk, die van de enkel naar de knie geleidelijk afneemt. Deze compressie stimuleert de bloedcirculatie en helpt het lichaam om afvalstoffen sneller af te voeren. Zo blijft je doorbloeding optimaal, zelfs tijdens intensieve inspanning. Draag je de kousen ook na je wandeling, dan ondersteun je bovendien het herstel – en ben je sneller klaar voor je volgende stap.

Compression Ankle Socks
In addition to the Support Compression Socks, the PRO Compression Ankle Socks are also excellent for walking. They offer support to the foot arch and alleviate stress on the plantar fascia. With their soft footbed and engineered to keep your feet dry, both products aid in faster recovery and help prevent common walking injuries.

"I introduced a number of enthusiastic golfers, hikers, and runners without injuries to the socks. They reported that, both during daily activities and exercise, their feet felt much less tired and swollen when wearing the socks. The feedback I received was that the socks felt comfortable on the foot and provided noticeably more support under the arch compared to regular socks."

"I've been using the socks for a while now, and they’ve been working great. The plantar fascia under my foot feels noticeably calmer, making them a valuable addition to the current treatment for plantar fasciitis and heel spurs. I’ve also noticed that the plantar fat pad under the heel (the cushioning pad beneath the heel bone) is better supported, which improves natural shock absorption. I experienced clear pain relief during longer walks with these socks."
