Compression socks black

Compression socks help with preparation for training and competing. Wear them before or ideally just after exercise for at least 90 minutes, or a few hours or a whole day if it was an intensive session. Compression socks are also suitable for sitting during long journeys by train, plane or car.

Choose your shoe size, then your overall size (S, M or L) for the circumference of your calves. For a more precise fit, measure your calf circumference at the widest part with a tape measure. Then refer to our size guide:Size S - calf circumference: 30 / 34 CM (11.8 / 13.38")Size M - calf circumference: 34 / 38 CM (13.4 / 14.96")Size L - calf circumference: 38 / 42 CM (15 / 16.51")

Roll the sock up, place it over the toes then stretch it to the heel. Unroll it carefully with both hands over the ankles and up to the knees. Finally, adjust it over the calves to remove any folds.Check out the video for instructions with images.
