What Is the Difference Between Support Socks and Compression Socks?
Support socks and compression socks are essentially the same type of sock. The main difference lies in how they are used and described. When worn for everyday purposes, such as office work, travel or pregnancy, they are often referred to as support socks. For running, training and recovery, the term compression socks is more commonly used. Support socks also tend to have a slightly lower level of compression than sports compression socks.
Benefits of Wearing Support Socks
When you wear support socks with graduated compression – meaning the pressure is highest at the ankle and gradually decreases up the calf – circulation is supported and swelling in the legs may be reduced. Regular use can also help reduce the risk of varicose veins, which is one reason support socks are often recommended during pregnancy and for people with a hereditary predisposition to varicose veins.
Materials and Function in Gococo Support Socks
All Gococo support socks feature 37.5® Technology in the foot section – an innovative functional material that helps keep your feet dry, fresh and at a comfortable temperature. Our support socks are available in both wool and lighter materials, making them suitable all year round.
How Do I Choose the Right Size?
For the best effect, it is important to measure the circumference of your calf. Our support socks are stretchy and unisex, allowing the fit to adapt to your foot, but calf measurement is what determines the correct size.
Support Socks and Physical Activity
Many people wear support socks for walking, everyday exercise and other activities where the legs are under strain for extended periods. For running, training and recovery, we primarily recommend our compression socks, which are specifically developed for sports and performance.
Support Socks for Travel and Flying
Long flights and extended periods of sitting can lead to swollen legs and discomfort. Support socks with graduated compression help support circulation and make travelling more comfortable. Our support socks are lightweight, comfortable and ideal for both short and long journeys. Thanks to the functional material used in Gococo support socks, odours are effectively managed, making them a practical choice for long flights and travel days.
Support Socks for Work
Do you spend many hours standing or sitting at work? Support socks can help support circulation and reduce the feeling of tired and swollen legs. The graduated compression provides comfortable support from the ankle up the calf, making support socks a popular choice for people looking for greater comfort throughout the working day.
Support Socks During Pregnancy
During pregnancy, it is common to experience tired, heavy or swollen legs. Support socks with graduated compression help support circulation and can provide a lighter and more comfortable feeling in the legs throughout the day. Many pregnant women choose to wear support socks both in everyday life and during longer periods of standing or sitting. Support socks are also commonly recommended for people who want extra leg support during pregnancy or who are prone to varicose veins.
Support Socks for Swollen Legs
Swollen legs and feet are common after long workdays, travel or extended periods of sitting. Support socks help support circulation and may reduce feelings of heaviness and swelling in the legs. With graduated compression, your legs receive comfortable support that contributes to greater comfort throughout the day.
