Apolla socks provide the benefit of a shoe and comfort of a sock. That is why dancer's call them Shocks! They provide all the sport-science features you need in ONE sock.
Patented targeted zones provide arch and ankle support:
- The 20-30 mmHg compression zones lift in key points of the feet to lift and stabilize but do NOT prevent range of motion like an orthotic...so you can still build foot strength
- The high quality compression assists circulation & recovery by reducing inflammation which energizes your muscles.
- This is very similar to the support you will get from taping…except it allows for better movement and comfort.
- The stability they provide is raved about from customers with joint hypermobility and are looking for comfort and stability.
Knit-in Energy Absorption:
- A 2019 independent study at Ohio University showed Apolla socks reduced force.
- Our padding on the ball of the foot AND the heel provides comfort for your metatarsals but is not too thick in shoes.
Additional Features:
- Antimicrobial
- Moisture-wicking
- Durable
- Recycleable
- Apolla socks are anatomically correct. Click here to see how to wear them properly
ALL OF OUR APOLLA SOCKS HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE AMERICAN PODIATRIC MEDICAL ASSOCIATION SEAL OF ACCEPTANCE.

WHY DO YOU WANT ALL OF THESE FEATURES IN YOUR SOCKS?
Our high-quality, patented compression, and energy absorption combined stabilizes the 26 bones in the foot and the ankle’s tendons and ligaments. This minimizes the amount of inflammation that takes place during your daily life or exercise that occurs due to overuse in your joints and muscles. We encourage you to have a pair for your exercise and a pair for recovery or everyday wear.
Inflammation is a natural occurence in the body, but if it is not removed or given enough time to decrease it can build up to cause chronic pain and issues like plantar fasciitis and tendonitis. Apolla socks help to not only decrease this painful inflammation that exercise and long days on your feet produces, but it also helps remove it. You will notice less fatigue, muscle pain, and they don't prevent range of motion so your muscles can still build strength. When you remove inflammation, you ache less and feel better…and you can do MORE of what you love, longer & stronger!

Please take a long walk on a short pier at some of my own written drafts and blogs published on the Dance Teacher Web website.

Reading this article helped me, because while in class I get insecure, while watching other dancers. So when i’m given assignments, I don’t really step out of the box and be creative. Why? Well I think about what other dancers in my class can do and what I can’t. It’s make me sort of crawl into a shell. Now while reading this article it made me think while watching other dancers motive yourself, work harder so you can get to that level!

This Article reminds me how I see sometimes People’s technique and think I need to be at their level right at this very moment. But, as Erin Pride says, “I have to continuously check-in and remind myself, to practice patience. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and I can’t expect their technique to be either.”, I need to be patient and trust the process every day, to achieve my personal goals as a dancer, Because otherwise, I am going to end up frustrated.

Tahgera ~ I believe Ms. Pride does everything she can to make sure her students are working to the best of their ability. She doesn’t push us to do things we can’t do, she works with what we can do and helps us get better at it. I feel like Ms. Pride is an excellent teacher and is motivated to help not only me but my fellow classmates to advance in our dancing. When i’m in class and we’re going over an exercise and I do a movement wrong she doesn’t get aggravated or mad she helps me and makes sure my structure is correct.

I love the way you changed your way of thinking. Even though students love to dance doesn’t mean they are technically there in their dancing. I loved when you said you had to “redefine amazing” just because all students aren’t at advanced doesn’t mean they are amazing and for you to adjust yourself to fit their level and still believe in them is what makes a teacher amazing and that’s what you are.

I like how you took a step back and realized how you were teaching and changed it so that way everyone was getting taught at the same level that they were comfortable in, and even though other kids are more advanced they can still reflect on basic techniques and become stronger dancers.

I love this article! It helps to show how you can provide different skills for different students in a classroom. It was interesting to see a teachers point of view and how much time goes into a day of teaching. I loved the part about Rome because it tells people to be patient and I love it.

I found it very inspiring to see that despite the fact that all of the students are not at the same level, you still were able to create lessons that would challenge everyone to the same caliber. I understand that it could be hard to stay motivated to get every dance on the same level but to see you trying is what makes it worth it.
