The Joule Shock ankle compression socks are for barefoot dancers or to be worn in or over pointe shoes, in ballet shoes or ANY shoe while keeping dress code and protecting your body. This versatile Shock is so much more than a brace from your local pharmacy, you will love the targeted ankle support for dancers and all the ways you can wear it while dancing longer and stronger!

We recommend you have a pair of the Joule Shock dance socks WITH traction for class and NON traction for recovery...but you will probably want a pair for every day of the week!

The Joule ankle compression socks for dancers provides our flexible arch support, ankle stability, and energy absorption. However, here are some other unique fit features of the Joule:

Open heel & ball of the foot seamless design

  • Arch and ankle support for dancers that want bare toes and heels
  • A stripped-down shock designed to harness this energy and support your body while maximizing contact with the floor or easily being added to a shoe
  • Now you don’t have to choose between protecting your body and dancing barefoot or wearing shoes without support
  • Paired with the K-warmer to create a fashionable look of a stirrup or legging
  • Allows for a natural grip on the floor
  • Ballet socks are incognito under ballet tights and hidden under pointe shoe ribbons
  • Shows off and accentuates the feet while creating long clean lines
  • Can also be worn with any dance shoe to provide much-needed support
  • Comfort fit on Achilles tendon makes it comfortable on the back of your heel and does not interfere with the heel of the shoe

The ONLY dancer footwear awarded the American Podiatric Medical Association Seal of Acceptance (along with ALL Apolla Shock styles). Meaning the APMA says they are good for your feet!

  • Dancing barefoot long term will take a toll on your body...Apolla Joule Shocks dance socks provide incredible support, allow you to build strength you use your muscles, and have complete connection to the floor

Premium and Durable Footwear

  • Patented highly-engineered knit design made with quality performance yarns, creating durable footwear that will outlast any other dance shoe several times over
  • We recommend you replace a pair once a year, but you may want more colors, styles, or a pair for performance and class...but you won't need to replace them through the year due to them not lasting.  

Additional Features

  • The Joule does not have a traction option, because no ball of the foot or heel coverage 
  • Anti-microbial (they don’t stink)
  • Moisture-wicking (keep your feet dry)
  • Durable
  • They are washable
  • Recyclable
  • The Joules do not have toes so there is not a Left or Right for this style BUT there is an upside down and right side up! Click here to see how to wear them properly

You don't have to wash them as often as a typical sock but unlike your dance shoes, you CAN wash them!

WHAT WE OFTEN HEAR:

Are they a crutch? I need to build strong feet.
Can I do that with the support of Apolla Shocks?
I need to wear footwear appropriate for the genre.

No, and yes, but here is some helpful information with science-backed research that explains the answers to these questions in more depth.

Did you know? Dancer injury rates are twice as common as football players from the knee down. Most dancer injuries are caused by overuse, repetitive strain, and inflammation (65% from the knee down). This inflammation causes pain and aches, which can lead to chronic injuries. We want to help you ache less and feel better. So how do we do that?

Our Apolla Shocks combine several sports science technologies explicitly designed for dancers to help prevent injuries and support stronger recoveries.

WHY DO YOU WANT ALL OF THESE FEATURES IN YOUR FOOTWEAR?

Apolla uses high-quality 20-30mmHg targeted compression zones to create flexible arch support and ankle stability. Our Shocks offer similar support as taping or KT tape but help facilitate better range of motion, comfort, and usability. The compression is strategically designed to target pain points around your feet and ankles to reduce inflammation. Reducing this inflammation helps you ache less and dance longer with less pain.

Compression feels like your feet and ankles receive a snug hug or massage. It's not uncomfortable, but it will feel different. Apolla's patented targeted compression makes it unique and cannot be duplicated in other compression socks. It's the 'goldilocks' of compression levels and assists circulation and recovery. This makes you feel less fatigued while energizing your muscles. It also helps stabilize the 26 bones in your foot, ankle tendons, and ligaments.

However, it is important to note these socks do not restrict your entire range of motion, which allows your muscles to continue building strength. Additionally, you will notice increased awareness of your alignment, proprioception, and kinesthetic awareness. The stability they provide is also raved about by customers with joint hypermobility because of their advanced comfort and stability properties.

Wearing Apolla Shocks during class minimizes the inflammation that occurs due to the repetitive nature and movement of dancing. Regardless of technique or strength, dance creates repetition and overuse in your joints and muscles, which causes inflammation.

We also strongly encourage dancers to wear them when they aren't dancing, as they help to refresh your muscles. This allows you to return to class refreshed and less likely to experience chronic injuries like plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, or other inflammation-related injuries. Our graduated compression assists circulation in removing the inflammation from the feet and ankles. Additionally, our knit-in energy absorption provides metatarsal (and heel comfort for full-coverage Shocks) while reducing force on the joints and muscles. All these features and Shock styles are designed to fit your preferences.

You can wear them for class, travel, conventions, on-stage, or for everyday wear and recovery. Simply put, Apolla Shocks work, and we have thousands of reviews to help you understand why the investment in our Shocks can assist your body and your career. They're designed to help you dance longer and dance stronger.

You can learn more about the science behind Apolla Shocks through our series with Mia Michaels or our Artist and Athlete Webinar. We dive into the research, science, and reasoning behind why dancers must start treating their bodies and minds like they're artistic athletes! CLICK HERE to see Apolla videos and learn more.
