Different people with diverse wants from a sock have all found this style suits them. If its an athlete or a runner with an injury or one that wants to prevent one. Or just the everyday person who wants improved circulation from their socks. They also come in a wide variety of different colors to choose from, currently, they offer beige/beige, black/pink, black/grey, black/blue, and grey/black. With so many colors to choose from you would have any problems matching these to your wardrobe.
Material
Feel free to wear these socks for both athletic purposes as well as during everyday activities because they will never feel overly stuffy or get too hot. The fabric they are made of is very soft and lightweight compared to most compression wear that feels the exact opposite, very thick, restrictive and stifling and that's never a feeling anyone enjoys.
Even though they do make these out of a soft and lightweight material that doesn't mean they are lacking in the compression department like some of their competitors. They still provide snug support and are not too loose like they might seem while boasting about how breathable and comfy they are.
Comfort
As well as the gradual compression they also have anatomically designed right and left socks so that you are getting the best fit possible and the maximum comfort level on both individual feet. They also designed the top band of the sock to flare and be just ever so slightly looser so the socks are not hard to put on or won't cut off circulation around your ankle.
All of these features make sure that leg pain is being lessened as well as a large number of other things such as plantar fasciitis or arthritis just to name a few. These painful conditions will not be an issue anymore and you can finally find relief. The only downside customers complained about was that some found the sock to be too overly tight. It’s suggested to size up 1 to 2 full sizes if you get your pair and you find it to be too overly tight for you.
Durability
They will stand up to multiple washes without the compression giving way, sagging or getting loose at all. Keeping tightness in a compression sock is the key factor and if your sock can't hold up to simply washing it then what's the point? However, I would keep in mind that putting these socks under any heat setting while either washing or drying may lead to shrinkage of the sock which will make it way too tight and too small to wear. It's recommended to wash on a cold water setting and hang or lay flat to dry. If you really want to pop them in the dryer because you are low on time make sure it's on an air only setting with no heat.
Breathability
Avoiding this discomfort is crucial and you will be happy to know that these socks are breathable, moisture-wicking and on top of all of that they are soft and comfortable. They are made of 80% Nylon and 20% Spandex. Both these synthetic fabrics don't easily absorb or hold any moisture which means it will move any wetness away from your feet.
Because these are exceptionally breathable and moisture-wicking they are ideal for any training scenario like running, sports or just training. You don't have to be a dedicated athlete to wear these though. They are great for everyday life if you have that one particular pair of shoes you know get way too moist at the end of the day.
Fit
For the best fit, most of the customer reviews said to actually not size it by your shoe size but go solely by the ankle size to ensure the best fit without it being too tight. This sock did come with some complaints about it being too tight for some of the customers that purchased it. Focusing on the ankle circumference sizing seems to really make a difference on if it fits well or not.
Construction
Because these socks are made with 80% Nylon and 20% Spandex they have amazing stretch qualities. They will stretch up to 4 ways, so not just length or width but both. This makes it truly the most comfortable experience and the added stretch will help in the durability and longevity of the sock. Lessening the unnecessary strain on a fabric trying to stretch a way it does not want to will ensure this sock is going to last.
The compression technology is gradual and focused in places where it's needed most. Such as the arch of the foot and in the plantar fasciitis ligaments to help minimize inflamed heel pain so you can stop the throbbing and walking will become easier. Along with that, they are anatomically designed to have a specific right and left foot so it has a superb fit, as well as having a looser top band it's not too tight around and ankle and easier to get off and on.
Odor Control
TechWare Pro Ankle Brace Compression Socks are specifically designed breathable, unlike most compression garments. They are made to keep moisture and sweat at bay so you won't be embarrassed when you take your shoes off in front of friends or family. They are made with 100% synthetic fibers which are less likely to smell as fast as natural fibers are since they don't absorb sweat and lock it in. Instead, it wicks it away from your foot before the bacteria can even harbor. Even though they are designed to keep odor at bay it's still recommended to wash ever 1-2 wears to insure maximum odor protection.
Compression
The reason compression works so well for all of these conditions is that it increases blood circulation and oxygen delivery to the muscles resulting in faster healing and a quicker recovery. Which isn't that what everyone wants when they are suffering from something painful?
Bottom Line
If you are an athlete looking to prevent or alleviate an injury these are great socks to look into. They are breathable and moisture-wicking which is perfect for comfort and will keep you active. Even if you are not an athlete these are great socks to look into if you are looking to prevent any future injuries or just for overall comfort.
