5 Common Myths About Compression Socks

Noora M.

There are many different myths surrounding compression clothing, especially compression socks, that aren't entirely true. That's why we decided to gather a few of them for you, so you'll know when compression products can actually be beneficial and make your daily life easier.

There are many different types of compression products, but in this blog, we will focus solely on myths related to socks.


Myth 1: Compression socks don’t provide real relief for plantar fasciitis

Truth: Compression socks provide important support to the arch of the foot and stimulate blood circulation, which can reduce swelling and relieve pain. They offer continuous support, unlike traditional shoes or insoles, which may not support your foot as effectively when you're at home.


Myth 2: Compression is uncomfortable and makes daily life harder

Truth: Modern compression socks are designed with comfort in mind. They distribute pressure evenly across the foot, which improves comfort and reduces pain during use. However, the comfort of compression socks greatly depends on choosing the correct size.


Myth 3: All compression socks are the same

Truth: There are many different types of compression socks, such as those designed for sports or for promoting general well-being. Typically, these differences are based on their intended use and the benefits they provide.

For example, StepEase socks are created to alleviate foot issues like plantar fasciitis by using five-zone compression technology. This means that SootheSock socks distribute pressure and provide compression in the right areas of the foot to help relieve the condition.


Myth 4: Wearing compression socks is complicated

Truth: Wearing compression socks is simple and quick. It only takes about ten seconds to put them on, and you can enjoy the relief they provide throughout the day. They offer an easy way to improve your quality of life without complicated treatment solutions.


Myth 5: The benefits of compression socks don't last long

Truth: While some may view compression socks as providing only temporary relief, regular and proper use can help manage symptoms in the long term, preventing recurrence.

Especially with wellness-promoting compression socks, the benefits are often felt quickly, but over time, you'll notice even greater improvements as the discomfort continues to ease with consistent use.
