How do our compression socks with degressive compression work?

The principle of degressive compression, which is incorporated in the compression socks of STOX Energy Socks, consists of tightly squeezing the legs, starting with the highest compression at the ankles. From there, the pressure exerted gradually decreases, until finally the performs the least compression on the thigh. This degressive compression prevents and / or reduces swelling in the feet and ankles and provides the legs with new energy. By working with a team of well-known vascular surgeons we have been able to implement medical techniques in socks for everyday life.

Our range of compression socks for men

We offer an extensive range of compression socks for men. Our compression socks are ideal for men who want extra support for their feet and legs. Many men tend to think that compression socks are only worn by old people or pregnant women. But nothing is further from the truth! There are multiple reasons why men - even young men!- wear compression socks. These socks support your legs, feet and ankles, which is ideal for men that travel a lot and thus sit still for a long time. They’re also great for men who have physically demanding work or play sports a lot. When you’re on your feet a lot or sit still for long periods of time, complaints can arise - think of tired legs or painful and swollen calves and ankles. Compression socks for men promote blood circulation in your legs and reduce that tired feeling. Furthermore, they prevent injuries and help with recovery.

Our compression socks for women are sold in different sizes than our compression socks for men, as the sizes of these socks are adapted to the female shoe size and ankle circumference.

Travel compression socks for women and men

At STOX Energy Socks, we also sell compression socks for people that travel often. Normally, when we move around, the alternating flexion and relaxing movement of the calf muscles act as a ‘built-in pump’ in the lower legs to help blood circulate. When a person is immobile for a longer period of time, such as for example occupations where sitting or standing for a long time is normal or when traveling by plane, train, bus or car, then this pumping action of the calf muscles is disabled. The blood circulation and removal of waste materials is therefore somewhat delayed or at least not as efficient as when a person is walking. Because the blood circulation is delayed, waste disposal is also delayed. With STOX compression socks we improve blood circulation by applying gradual compression to the socks.

Sports compression socks for women and men

Our compression socks are also ideal for people who exercise often. We offer a very diverse range of

How does the STOX technology work?

Are your ankles and/or calves swollen, or do you suffer from cramps after a day's work? Do you often have heavy legs? Or an annoying feeling of pressure or tension in the legs and especially the calves? Or do you suffer from cramps at night or while sleeping? Then it can help to wear STOX compression socks. Our STOX compression socks provide the right pressure on your legs, so that the blood circulation in the legs remains optimal. This means that you suffer less from your ailments.

How do you put on STOX compression socks?

The easiest way to put on our compression socks is to grasp the heel of the sock on the inside between your thumb and index finger and turn it inside out as far as the foot portion. Now only the leg of the sock is inside out, while the foot portion is on the inside. First pull the foot portion over your foot up to the instep and place your heel in the correct spot inside the sock. After that you can easily draw the leg portion up and distribute the sock evenly over your leg with two hands, until the sock is on your leg without folds or wrinkles.

How do I wash my compression socks?

We advise you to regularly wash your STOX compression socks by hand in lukewarm water or in the washing machine at a maximum temperature of 30 degrees. Never mix our white and our black socks. We also recommend using a laundry bag when washing the socks in a washing machine. Use a mild detergent and no fabric softener.

How can I dry my compression socks?

Because you want to be able to wear your socks for a long period of time, it’s important to remember you can’t put your socks in the dryer if you want to keep the compression intact. Also do not let the socks dry by placing them on the heater or in direct sunlight. You can, however, dry your socks faster by rolling them in a towel and pressing on them. Luckily for you, our socks are made with Moisture Wicking Fabrics, so they dry 4 times faster than regular cotton socks.
