Why compression socks are also important for men

Studies show that compression socks are not purely a female domain. According to a study conducted in Germany, 90 percent of the total population between the ages of 40 and 80 exhibit changes affecting the venous system in varying degrees of severity (Prochaska et al., 2021). The Bonn Vein Study shows that one in six men between the ages of 18 and 79 exhibit symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) (Rabe et al., 2003), but only one in 20 wears the compression socks prescribed by their doctor (Stücker & Rabe, 2022).

Possible reasons? Men often only seek medical help when complications arise, and many underestimate the severity of venous diseases (Seiter Clinic 2010). Yet compression socks not only provide medical support, but also improve the quality of life: medical compression supports the function of the venous valves, which ensure that blood is efficiently pumped back to the heart. This helps legs to feel healthy and relaxed throughout the day.

Very important: modern compression socks are not only functional, but also stylish and discreet. And products are available that have been developed specifically for men.

Essential THERMOREGULATING

The fine cotton layer of THERMOREGULATING layer protects the skin from drying out and has a thermoregulating effect. The cotton fabric absorbs excess moisture directly from the skin and stores it inside the fibers. This prevents developing a moisture film on the skin which promotes the undesirable growth of bacteria. This is beneficial for people with sensitive skin.
