Compression socks are designed to squeeze the leg from the bottom up which increases the blood flow to the legs. This has many benefits including increased recovery rates after exercise, reduced swelling and varicose veins during pregnancy, and the reduced chance of Deep Vein Thrombosis on long travels. They can also help leg circulation for people who sit or stand all day at work, which lets face it, is basically everyone.

Up until now the problem has been that most compression socks made you look like you were recovering from a stint in hospital. VIM & VIGR have changed this by actually making compression socks you will want to wear. They come in a range of styles for men and women, in nylon, cotton and wool.
