Zensahs Tech+ Compression Socks are worn by elite athletes, such as Kara Goucher, to first time runners. Made in Italy, the compression socks feature an innovative design that provides an ultra-comfortable fit and superior performance. Whether using the socks for running, working out, or everyday wear, your legs will appreciate the superiority of the Tech+ Compression Socks. Made on a 200 need count machine, the Tech+ Compression Socks are more durable, denser, and better fitting. The Zensah Fabric ensures the socks are lightweight, moisture wicking, and thermal regulating. The Tech+ Compression Socks utilize graduated compression technology to help improve blood circulation, meaning the greatest amount of compression in the ankle and less in the calf area. Athletes are able to decrease muscle recovery time and improve athletic performance. Graduated Compression Socks also help prevent fatigue for those on their feet all day, such as nurses, and may be used for traveling to reduce leg swelling.
