My Daughter is not a dancer, she is an ice hockey player. We love Apolla socks and since she started wearing them her feet haven't hurt. We also started wearing the leg warmers after our harder lessons, for recovery, and it has made a tremendous difference.

I’m in love! Before I started wearing the socks, I could hardly stand on my feet for more than a few minutes due to a high arch and shoes with little to no arch support. Now, I’m able to do whatever I want. They are worth every penny.

I am so impressed and love these socks! I have used the joule for a couple years. Following ankle reconstruction I purchased the infinite and the difference between the days I wear them vs not is insane. The swelling and pain difference is so noticeable.

These socks are a lifesaver. This really helps especially after long hikes. I love that I can wear these in barre class as well!

Feels so good on your feet! I’m recovering from an ankle sprain, when wearing I don’t have pain while dancing (until I take them off that is hehe). Expensive, but buying one pair of Apolla is better than buying 5 pairs from another brand.

Frequently Asked Questions

All FAQ’s

What do compression socks do for athletes?

Apolla Compression Socks provide athletes with a unique combination of benefits, thanks to our patented targeted compression technology:

  • Reduced Muscle Soreness and Fatigue: Like other compression socks, Apolla helps flush out lactic acid, reducing soreness and speeding up recovery.

  • But Apolla goes further by targeting compression zones in the foot and ankle, addressing pain points often missed by other brands.

  • Enhanced Performance: Improved blood flow delivers more oxygen to your muscles for increased endurance and power output.

  • Apolla's targeted compression also enhances proprioception—your body's awareness of its position and movement—leading to better agility, balance, and control.

  • Reduced Swelling and Inflammation: Compression minimizes swelling and inflammation, speeding up healing after tough workouts or injuries.

  • Apolla's strategic compression zones further enhance this benefit by targeting key areas in the feet and ankles.

  • Superior Ankle and Arch Support: Unlike many athletic compression socks, Apolla provides exceptional support to these critical areas, improving stability, relieving plantar fasciitis pain, Sever's Disease, and reducing the risk of sprains and other injuries.

  • Many athletes find this support comparable to wearing an ankle brace or taping but with greater comfort and freedom of movement.

What makes Apolla socks different than other compression socks?

Apolla Socks aren't your average compression socks. We combine cutting-edge science with a deep understanding of athletic needs to create a sock that truly elevates performance, reduces pain, and promotes recovery.

Here's what sets us apart:

  • Targeted Compression, Not Just Squeeze: Unlike most compression socks that focus solely on the calves, Apolla's patented compression zones target specific areas in the foot and ankle as well.

  • This provides superior support for your arches, reduces plantar fasciitis pain, improves ankle stability, and enhances proprioception.

  • It's not just compression; it's targeted compression where you need it most.

  • Performance-Driven Design: While many compression socks are designed primarily for recovery, Apolla Socks are engineered to enhance your performance during activity.

  • Our socks help reduce muscle vibration, improve blood flow, and provide a more secure, responsive feel, allowing you to train harder and achieve your best.

  • Comfort Redefined: Apolla Socks prioritize comfort with features like seamless construction, a spacious toe box (in our Infinite Sock), and breathable, moisture-wicking materials.

  • We believe support shouldn't come at the expense of comfort.

  • Built to Last: Apolla Socks are made in the USA with premium, sustainable materials and rigorous construction.

  • They're designed to withstand the demands of frequent wear and washing, outlasting typical compression socks by up to 5x.

  • That's a real difference you'll feel in your wallet and on your feet.

How can these help my soccer, basketball, hockey, football etc. athlete?

YES! Any exercise, sport, or athletics...we provide support and protection you can't get in any one product.

Apolla Socks can benefit athletes in a variety of sports by:

  • Enhancing Performance: Our targeted compression and support help improve blood flow and reduce muscle vibration, leading to increased power output and agility.

  • Minimizing Injury Risk: The ankle and arch support provided by Apolla socks, like ANY of our taller profiles, help stabilize joints and reduce the risk of common sports injuries like sprains and strains.

  • Speeding Up Recovery: Graduated compression reduces swelling and promotes faster muscle recovery after intense training or competitions.

WHAT STYLE SHOULD I GET?

  • Choose the profile your athlete wears the most for their sport...we can't help if they won't wear them.

  • If they don't have a preference but a certain ailment, choose the profile that best supports them.

  • SOCCER NOTE: Check out our Knee High style and pair them with sheath shin guards for soccer, like Nike Mercurial, they fit great in cleats.

  • Ice Skaters may prefer the Joule as a thinner support option, they also love the K-Warmer.

  • Hockey or snow boots, the mid calf and knee high is incredible!

Can you wear compression socks to sleep?

While some people find it comfortable and beneficial to sleep in compression socks, and we often hear this from our Apolla customers, it's essential to consult with your doctor first.

Whether or not it’s right for you depends on your individual circumstances and medical history.

Some people find the gentle pressure helps with restless legs or morning swelling.

Others might find compression too constricting for overnight wear.

It's really about personal preference and health needs, so talk to your doctor first.

What does 20-30 mmHg mean in compression socks?

Here's the breakdown:

  • mmHg: This stands for "millimeters of mercury," which is a unit of pressure, it has nothing to do with real mercury and does NOT mean our socks have mercury in them!

  • 20-30: This is the range of pressure the socks provide, measured in mmHg. 20 mmHg is considered mild compression, while 30 mmHg is considered moderate compression.


The higher the mmHg, the stronger the compression...or the squeeze you feel on your leg. Apolla Socks fall into the moderate compression category, which means they provide a significant amount of pressure to help.

We chose this level of compression for Apolla compression socks because it offers stronger support. This stronger support leads to better performance. It is also the point in compression level where it is more effective before range of motion is impacted. The benefits of our compression are:

  • Improve blood circulation

  • Reduce swelling

  • Relieve pain

  • Speed up muscle recovery

It's important to note that the right compression level for you depends on your individual needs and should be discussed with your doctor if you have any underlying health conditions.
