Moisture-Wicking Compression Socks
What are the benefits of moisture-wicking compression socks?
· Moisture-wicking compression socks from VIM & VIGR offer sweat-wicking and quick-drying properties, keeping feet cool, dry, and protected from blisters during long days or intense activities. They help reduce edema and swelling, energize legs, alleviate achy and heavy sensations, and support blood flow and circulation. These socks combine graduated compression with cushioning and arch support for all-day comfort and wellness, making them ideal as sports compression socks, running socks, or for everyday wear.
What's the difference between regular and moisture-wicking compression socks?
· Regular socks may provide basic cushioning and comfort but lack targeted graduated compression and advanced moisture management.
- Moisture-wicking compression socks (like VIM & VIGR’s best-selling Moisture-wick fabric) use technical fabrics such as nylon and spandex (latex-free) for durability, sweat-wicking, and breathability. They deliver therapeutic compression to improve blood circulation, reduce the risk of varicose veins, and prevent blisters, making them superior for active lifestyles and those prone to sweaty feet or edema.
Are nylon compression socks breathable?
- Yes, VIM & VIGR’s nylon compression socks are engineered for breathability, flexibility, and sweat-wicking. Their blend of nylon and spandex (latex-free) ensures quick-drying comfort, making them suitable for running, sports, and long days on your feet. Many styles are also available in unisex and wide calves options for a comfy fit.
How do I wash Vim & Vigr's moisture-wicking compression socks?
- Machine wash your socks in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners to preserve antimicrobial properties and compression level. Air dry flat to maintain elasticity, cushioning, and durability. Proper care helps keep your socks comfy and effective for all-day wear.
Which compression socks are best for sweaty feet?
- The best options for sweaty feet are moisture-wicking nylon or merino wool compression socks. Both materials are sweat-wicking, quick-drying, and breathable. Merino wool also offers antimicrobial benefits and natural odor control. These socks provide cushioning and arch support, making them ideal for running, sports, or long shifts.
Can I wear Vim & Vigr's moisture-wicking compression socks all day?
- Yes, VIM & VIGR’s moisture-wicking compression socks are designed for all-day comfort, thanks to their breathable, sweat-wicking fabrics and graduated compression. They prevent edema, reduce achy and heavy legs, and support wellness during long days at work, travel, or physical activity.
