Compression for runners

Compression for women (25 products)

Compression socks offer several benefits. 

Compression prevents muscle fatigue. It stimulates blood circulation, which in turn improves the oxygen supply to the muscles. This helps delay muscle fatigue. As a runner, you'll experience fresher legs for longer, ideal for endurance athletes. 

Compression helps prevent injuries. The pressure provided by compression supports your muscles, reducing the risk of injury. 

Compression can improve performance. The reasons above contribute to enhanced performance. Less muscle fatigue and injury-free training allow you to perform better. 

Compression socks have a specific purpose: applying pressure to your blood vessels and muscles. This stimulates blood circulation and provides support to your muscles. As a positive result, your legs will feel less tired and sore. Wearing compression socks during or after running is therefore far from a luxury, especially for endurance athletes. 

Compression socks and sleeves have the same function: applying pressure to your muscles and stimulating the blood circulation. However, there are some small differences. 

During running, it doesn't matter whether you choose sleeves or compression socks - they offer the same benefits, so you're choice is based on personal preferences. With sleeves, you can combine the compression with any socks you like. WIth compression socks, you are - logically - using that sock. 

Do you keep the compression on after your run to help your muscles recover? Then we recommend choosing compression socks. Socks help remove waste products, whereas with sleeves, the waste products accumulate in your feet. This can cause swelling. You can wear compression socks for hours after your activities, and you can even sleep in them. 

In addition to compression socks and calf sleeves, there are also compression tights. These tights have the same function as the sleeves and socks: stimulating blood circulation and applying pressure to your muscles, but on the upper legs. 

Compression socks and sleeves 

You certainly have seen them before: those runners with tight, long socks - compression socks. That's not for the show. The compression avoid fatigue during running. But also after your training, they are useful. They help to recover faster and reduce the risk of injuries.
