Compression socks and calf sleeves are very similar but serve different purposes. It is good to know what those purposes are so that you can get the best product for yourself, be it one or the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the difference between compression socks and calf sleeves? Compression socks are used to encourage and increase blood flow in the body. They prevent the blood from pooling in one place. Calf sleeves, however, provide good support during an intense workout. This is to concentrate the blood flow on the muscles that need it most.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using the wrong kind of support can actually be more harmful than helpful. The wrong one can prevent blood flow where you need it, or collect blood where it shouldn\u2019t go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They can also be extremely uncomfortable if worn for a long time when they are not needed. It is important to know at least the basics about any compression wear before using it. That way, you do not cause unintended harm to yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
