The mountain season is just around the corner and with it the starting signal for many hikes. When it comes to perfect hiking gear, you don’t immediately think of wearing compression socks. The technology offers a huge number of advantages, because whether for beginners or experienced mountain athletes, the use of compression stockings can positively support the (re-)entry into hiking and at the same time ensure even longer endurance on the mountain. Thanks to the padded footbed of the Merino Hiking Socks from STOX, the risk of blisters forming is also reduced – another reason to use compression socks on your next tour. Wearing compression stockings also significantly stimulates and improves blood circulation in the legs, preventing fatigue, swelling and injuries and accelerating muscle regeneration. So nothing stands in the way of an extra-long mountain tour!
Developed specifically for hiking, the company is offering two models for the spring/summer 2024 season: the STOX Merino Hiking Socks and the STOX Merino Hiking Ankle Socks.
The thermoregulating merino wool of the Merino Hiking Socks and Merino Hiking Ankle Socks cools in summer and warms in winter, is breathable and antibacterial. The seamless design offers a high level of comfort and the perfect fit for hikes. A game changer is the special footbed with strong padding that ensures that the hike remains blister-free with the STOX compression socks. Both stockings feature graduated compression technology 2, which stimulates blood circulation in the legs and provides them with better nutrients. This prevents muscle fatigue and enables increased performance – whether for the hike after work or the next big multi-day tour. The compression pressure that the STOX Merino Hiking Socks exerts on the most important muscle groups also explicitly helps to avoid shin and calf injuries, and the degressive compression reduces muscle soreness after intensive sessions. The STOX Merino Hiking Ankle Socks, on the other hand, are particularly suitable for hot days and provide the best possible stability for the ankle – for a carefree adventure in nature.
