As temperatures rise and the sun beats down, you might be tempted to shed layers and opt for the
lightest clothing, however compression socks can offer many benefits to help you through the summer heat.
Beyond their typical use for improving circulation and reducing swelling, compression socks
offer a host of benefits that can keep you cool, comfortable, and ready to tackle summer
adventures. Find out what compression socks can do for you!
1. Reduce Swelling
One primary reason people opt for compression socks is to combat swelling, and summer brings
its own challenges in this department. Increased temperatures, and humidity mixed with sitting
or standing for prolonged periods of time can contribute to swelling in our legs and feet.
Compression socks work by gently squeezing the legs, promoting better blood flow and
preventing fluid buildup.
By wearing compression socks, you can minimize swelling and
discomfort, allowing you to stay on your feet and enjoy summer activities without feeling
weighed down.
2. Protection
Compression socks can help reduce fatigue and cramping by improving circulation and increasing support to your muscles, therefore, helping you go farther for longer. Some compression socks come in a moisture wicking thinner material to help with sweat and blister management.
Wearing compression socks can also provide that extra layer of protection against sunburn. We often forget to reapply sunscreen throughout the day, so having that layer to protect from the sun is ideal especially if you are going to be in the sun for long periods of time or sweating extensively.
3. Ideal for Travel
Summer often brings long road trips which can lead to poor circulation, swelling and achiness in the legs. Compression socks can help alleviate some of these symptoms to help keep your legs feeling energized and fresh for your next activity.
