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!
Walking with compression stockings
Bei Langstreckenwanderungen, wie etwa der „Nijmegen-Viertagemarsch“ (Nijmeegse Vierdaagse), wird der Körper stark beansprucht. Dies führt zum Abbau von Muskelgewebe – ein natürlicher Prozess, von dem man sich normalerweise schnell wieder erholt. Fällt diese Erholung jedoch unzureichend aus, kann sich überschüssige Flüssigkeit in den Unterschenkeln ansammeln. Der Grund dafür: Muskelgewebe besteht aus Eiweiß, und Eiweiß bindet Flüssigkeit. Die Folge sind sichtbare Schwellungen (Ödeme), die vor allem am dritten und vierten Tag der Wanderung auftreten. Diese Flüssigkeitsansammlungen beeinträchtigen die Durchblutung, wodurch der Abtransport von Stoffwechselabfallprodukten und Kohlendioxid aus dem Körper erschwert wird.
Support compression stockings
The Herzog Support Compression Stocking provides precisely built-up pressure that gradually decreases from the ankle to the knee. This compression stimulates blood circulation and helps the body to remove waste products more quickly. This way, your blood circulation remains optimal, even during intense exercise. If you also wear the stockings after your walk, you will also support recovery and be ready for your next step faster.

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."
