 Anyone who wants to support their ankles while reducing fatigue and improving recovery. Users include professional athletes, weekend warriors, those who work on their feet all day, etc. 

Both. Our socks have both pre and post injury benefits. Our goal is to always get people into these socks as a preventative measure but if an ankle sprain occurs our socks can help in the healing process due to the support and compression. Many of our customers are those who have chronic ankle instability due to past injuries. 

 Built in tension straps support and stabilize the ankle with targeted compression as if it were taped but unlike tape they do not stretch out. 

  European studies have shown the effectiveness of our socks. 

Our socks provide stability with mobility. You will still have movement in your ankles which is good for the tendons and ligaments so that they are not weaking 

 Using Prevent Sprain Socks is the same concept as wearing a seat belt or a helmet. While injuries may occur, it is likely they will be prevented or have a better outcome using the safety product than without.

The blood flow that our socks provide promotes better circulation. Proper compression improves blood flow back to the heart. Increased blood flow provides increased oxygenation to muscle tissue and decreases the presence of free radicals.  These factors lead to increased overall performance, muscular endurance, recovery, and reduction in soreness. 

We follow the AMA guidelines to classify our socks as medical grade. Based on shoe size, our socks provide a graduated compression of 23mmHG at the ankle to 19mmHG at the calf to provide proper blood flow with ultimate comfort.
