The Joule is the perfect compression sock for women and men looking for support similar to KT Tape or a brace but with added benefits.

It is a plantar fasciitis sock that uses targeted compression for barefoot arch support and ankle support that improves blood flow and reduces swelling (20-30 mmHg), which taping alone doesn't provide.

Plus, the foot sleeve is more comfortable and less restrictive than taping or a brace, allowing for a full range of motion while enhancing proprioception.

Taping also needs to be applied correctly by a professional.

We are an all in one slip on support that is easier to use, less expensive, and less wasteful than taping, and a great solution if you suffer from chronic ankle sprains.

YES! The Joule's open-toe and heel design makes it incredibly versatile, unlike traditional compression stockings.

You can wear it barefoot, with sandals, open-toed shoes, or inside virtually any shoe where you want extra arch and ankle support without the bulk of a traditional sock.

Many customers even wear them with high heels for added comfort and support during special occasions.

It’s perfect for adding a bit of hidden support for plantar fascia, reducing heel pain, & preventing discomfort on those long days on your feet.

Unlike our full foot sock options, there is no right or left foot for the Joule. There IS however, a right side up! Be careful to NOT wear them upside down.

While orthotics provide static support, the Joule's built-in arch support combines that lift with targeted, graduated compression, but is flexible so it allows for full range of motion of the feet which allows for the intrinsic muscles of the feet to build strength.

Wearing compression socks also provides dynamic support to improve circulation, reduce swelling. It is the combination of this support and reduction of inflammation that alleviates plantar fasciitis pain more effectively than orthotics alone.

For people with high arches, flat feet this can provide extra relief and support throughout the day.

The Joule offers ankle support similar to an ankle brace for sprained ankles but with increased comfort and flexibility. Instead of just one level of squeeze in the entire sleeve, The Joule has targeted support in the ankle.

The targeted compression zones (20-30 mmHg) and open-toe design allow for a more natural range of motion, which helps strengthen the surrounding muscles and improve proprioception.

Plus, the Joule is less bulky than a brace, making it easier to wear with a variety of shoes. An excellent option for those recovering from an ankle injury or for ongoing support for weak ankles. You even can add a compression sleeve over it for when not in shoes.

For more serious injuries or conditions like deep vein thrombosis, consult your healthcare professional about what level of millimeters of mercury you need to ensure you have the best compression socks for your needs.
