Do your ankles go numb after a long flight? Or if your calves are still stiff a day after a run — these are not coincidences. It means the circulation in your legs has slowed down. This is where compression socks come in: they are special support socks with a unique feel that make a difference from the moment you put them on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003clabel for=\"fb-komp-toggle\" class=\"fb-btn fb-btn-open\"\u003eRead more ↓\u003c\/label\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"fb-extra\"\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs FootBalance Turkey, we are the sole distributors of the OS1st compression series in Turkey.

The tightest point is at the ankle; it loosens as it goes up. The logic is very simple. It makes it easier for the blood in your legs to return to your heart against gravity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo, what happens inside? The sock gently wraps around the veins from the outside.
