Stance Socks Benefits of compression socks for running | Page 4

The compression socks which are now available are made using comfortable and flexible fabric (mix of rubber and elastic fibers), which makes them firmer when compared to regular socks. The compression socks provide a snug fit by squeezing the legs very gently. You are worried about how uncomfortable this might feel? Well, it does not! Various studies have shown that compression socks not only stimulate the blood flow in the legs but can also help runners recover from a long run or injury. The socks increase the blood circulation and help to reduce the buildup of lactic acid in the system.
