Odd Duck compression socks are designed to make you look and feel great every day!
WHY DO YOU NEED COMPRESSION SOCKS?
So, you've never worn compression socks before and want to know why you're being encouraged to wear them.
There are so many reasons, it's crazy: (Here are some, in no particular order.)
☺ If you're walking or running they'll help to keep your legs from aching - If you're standing with little movement (e.g. nurses, flight attendants, bank tellers), they will help to pump blood back to your heart
☺ If you're sitting with little movement they'll help to keep your blood flow in your legs. (e.g. office assistants, accountants, truck drivers.)
☺ If your feet are swollen, compression socks will help to lessen the swelling. Odd Duck compression socks assist mild swelling - if you have severe swelling do NOT wear Odd Duck compression socks until after speaking with your doctor.
☺ If you have unsightly varicose veins or would rather not have them, Odd Duck compression socks will help to mitigate enlarged/twisted veins.
☺ If you have aching legs, Odd Duck compression socks will help to ease the pain. Please speak with your doctor before wearing Odd Duck compression socks if you have a history of health issues, severe swelling, blood flow concerns or if your circumstances are beyond regular everyday uses.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE SOCKS
Odd Duck compression socks (or 'compression stockings', as they're also known as) use a special blend of materials to gently apply pressure around the ankle and up the calf to improve blood flow. We use a precise combination of quality new materials - Lycra, Spandex and nylon - to make this happen. Odd Duck compression socks are all classified as 'Class 1' (15-20 mmHg) compression socks, which means that the compression rating is in the mild range and great for everyday use.
