When should I use my compression socks?
Compression socks can be used before or after a sports activity.
For optimal use after sport, wear them as soon as your exercise is over, for a minimum of 1 h 30 min.
It is also perfect for long car, train or plane trips.
How to choose your size
Firstly, choose your foot size, and then choose your size according to the circumference of your calf.
For optimal performance, measure the circumference of your biggest calf accurately and choose the corresponding size:
Size 1 (S) - calf circumference: 30 / 34 CM (11.8 / 13.38")
Size 2 (M) - calf circumference: 34 / 38 CM (13.4 / 14.96")
Size 3 (L) - calf circumference: 38 / 42 CM (15 / 16.51")
How to put the sock on?
Roll up the sock to the heel.
Place it gently on your foot, making sure that the heel is properly positioned.
With both hands, stretch the sock widthwise to place it over the ankle, then unroll it carefully over the leg. Make sure the heel stays properly positioned.
Adjust the sock right under the knee, distribute material evenly on the calf ensuring there is no fold along the leg.
How to optimise my recovery
For optimal recovery after exercise, do not hesitate to use a recovery drink, protein bars, massage accessories, compression or electro-stimulation in addition to your compression socks.
