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?

  • Reduce Swelling: Compression socks improve blood flow. This helps reduce fluid buildup in your legs, ankles, and feet. As a result, swelling is reduced.

  • Relieve Pain: Improved circulation can alleviate pain caused by conditions like plantar fasciitis, varicose veins, and muscle soreness.

  • Speed Up Recovery: Compression socks help remove waste products, like lactic acid, from muscles. This speeds up recovery after workouts or injuries.

  • Prevent Blood Clots: They can help prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT), especially during travel or prolonged inactivity.

  • Boost Energy: By improving circulation, compression socks can help your legs feel less tired and more energized.

Essentially, compression socks act like a gentle massage for your legs, promoting better blood flow and overall leg health.

What makes Apolla socks different than other compression socks?

Apolla Socks stand out from other compression socks due to these key features:

  • Patented Targeted Compression: Apolla doesn't just squeeze your calves. We are also an arch support sock, ankle stability to reduce risk of ankle injury and swelling post injury, and a padded sock in studies to reduce force, along with graduated compression. Using 20-30mmHg we target key support points for pain relief and stability that other compression socks miss.

  • Enhanced Performance: Most compression socks focus just the compression in the calf for increased circulation. We do that and so much more! Apolla also gives a secure and responsive feel. This helps improve balance and your awareness of your body in space.

  • All-Day Premium Comfort: Apolla prioritizes comfort. It has a seamless design and a spacious toe box. The materials are breathable, resist odors, and they are moisture-wicking socks.

  • Durability and Quality: Apolla Socks are made with high-quality materials and 100% USA-made rigorous construction, making them more durable than typical compression socks. They can also replace multiple pairs of socks in your drawer, on average customers wear them multiple times before washing them.

  • Backed by Research and Professionals: Apolla's technology is backed by scientific studies and trusted by athletes and medical professionals worldwide. They also have the Seal of Acceptance from the American Podiatric Medical Association.

They are not just your average cheap sock, Apolla combines the benefits of compression, orthotic-like support, brace-like stability, and comfort, creating a sock that goes beyond the typical recovery sock and truly elevates performance.

Can you sleep in compression socks?

Apolla Socks are the best compression socks because we combine features of arch support, ankle support, padding that acts as mini springs, graduated compression socks, and the option to be a grip sock.

With our targeted compression zones we are able to lift and stabilize the arch and ankle, reducing the amount of inflammation that will occur from daily wear and tear. Then we also help keep the blood flow moving and reduce swelling while enhancing blood circulation to give you relief and recover faster from the inflammation, aches and pain. They are orthotic like but with more benefits, ankle brace-like but with better range of motion, and still have medical grade graduated compression.

So when people ask, do these help with plantar fasciitis? Tendonitis? Sesamoiditis? Sever's Disease? Ehlers Danlos Syndrome? YES, and so much more! Any inflammation related pain, we combat it better than any other product on the market.

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 it 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.

  • 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.

How to put on compression socks?

What makes our socks the best compression socks for women and men is that they ARE snug and can take you more time to put on than a cheaper sock.  If you're new to compression socks, they might feel tight at first.

Here's some tips and tricks on how to put them on more easily:

  1. Fold-in-Half Method: Fold the sock lengthwise before slipping it on.
  2. Inside-Out Method: Put the sock on inside out, then pull it right-side out.

Here's what you get in ONE pair of Apolla Socks:

  • Impact Cushioning: Like wearing shock-absorbing shoes, but with added graduated compression.

Plus, you get all the added benefits of:

  • Patented Technology: Apolla Socks use unique, patented technology that you won't find in other socks. This includes targeted compression zones and specialized designs that provide superior support, pain relief, and performance enhancement.

  • Premium Materials: Apolla uses high-quality, sustainable, durable materials that are built to last. This means your socks will hold their shape, compression level, and effectiveness for longer, making them a better value in the long run.

  • Made in the USA: Apolla Socks are 100% made in the USA, supporting American jobs and ensuring high manufacturing standards.
