Sports Knee Support
An anatomically contoured pad surrounds the kneecap. This special functional element captures and disperses pressure peaks. When the knee moves, the pad and the knitted fabric massage the connective tissue and the muscles. Two pressure points and lateral wings deliver targeted stimuli. This stimulation boosts the metabolism and triggers positive sensorimotor feedback: The stabilising muscles are activated more quickly, thus improving joint coordination. This provides effective protection against stress and injury risks. Overloading pain subsides more quickly, preventing the adoption of damaging relief postures. The knitted fabric of the Sports Knee Support is similar to a fine net made of an airy mesh and consists of a breathable, hard-wearing material. This makes the support especially lightweight, comfortable to wear, and practical for sports. Its anatomic contouring and adhesive zones guarantee a secure fit and maximum freedom of movement.

Sports Achilles Support
The Achilles Support aids you during longer and more intensive sports sessions, counteracts slight discomfort in the Achilles tendon with the Achilles pad and promotes a safe running feeling when in motion. Achilles tendon support with functional pad and comfort zones The Achilles pad encloses the Achilles tendon and exerts an alternating pressure massage with the knitted fabric. Small nubs and two pressure points on the lower wing of the pad apply targeted stimuli to the surrounding tendon area. This has an activating effect on the muscles and improves the metabolism locally so that swellings or oedemas are reduced. Thanks to perforations, the pad is light and breathable. Different knitted zones promote proprioception with slight compression for improved sensorimotor feedback: the sports support relieves the ligament and tendon apparatus, ensures rapid control of the stabilising muscles in the foot and improves joint coordination. Comfort zones are incorporated for optimal wearing comfort. The material does not constrict thanks to the pressure-free edge. The closure seam on the front is offset to the side so that there is no friction under the foot or on the instep.

Trail Run Compression Socks
Thanks to Targeted Compression, your muscles get that crucial boost when they need it. Zone-specific compression for more power on long trails With their specific compression and comfort zones, the trail running compression socks support trail running. They were developed specifically for trail running in cooperation with professional trail runners and provide an increased feeling of stability, thanks to the “Infinity Zone X-TREME” with enhanced compression in the ankle area. This promotes safe and smooth heel-to-toe movement, even away from official paths. Zone-specific calf compression increases muscle efficiency so the calves are slower to fatigue and keep performing over long distances. Trail running socks with clever functional zones The “Downhill Comfort”, “Toe Comfort”, “Heel Comfort”, and “Air Channel Sole” comfort zones offer pleasant wearing comfort during movement, thanks to specific material reinforcement. During a steep downhill section in particular, these cushioning elements reduce pressure exerted on the toes, sole of the foot, and instep. Thanks to its air channels, the “Air Channel Sole” provides a high level of breathability and prevents slipping inside the shoe. The correct size is based on the shoe size and calf circumference. With their sporty design, the Trail Run Compression Socks are durable, breathable, and can be washed at 40 °C. They are manufactured in compliance with the highest quality standards.

Sports Compression Sleeves Lower Leg
The compressive effect is based on medical standards, i.e. it decreases from ankle to calf. This promotes circulation in the legs and improves venous return. The muscles receive a better supply of oxygen, continue to perform more effectively and regenerate faster. Stimulating blood circulation also causes the lower leg muscles to quickly heat up, which makes them better protected against injury. The sleeves, which come in a sporty design, are available as a pair and are durable, breathable and fit perfectly thanks to their extra wide edging band. They can be washed at 40 °C. To ensure the correct size is selected, the circumference above the ankle bone and the circumference at the widest part of the calf must be measured, as well as the length of the lower leg up to the hollow of the knee.

Sports Recovery Compression Socks
The socks have been designed for recovery and help promote regeneration by activating the metabolism and circulation in the calf muscles. This is triggered by compression zones with an ideal pressure gradient that decreases from the ankle to the calf. The Sports Recovery Socks are also perfect for journeys and traveling to sports events because they vitalize the calf muscles. This counteracts a feeling of heaviness in the legs after long trips. The sports socks are made of ultra-thin microfiber and feel lightweight and comfortable on the skin. Thanks to their ribbed texture, they are particularly comfortable to wear and put on. The cut-out at the Achilles tendon protects from pressure and rubbing. The knee-high socks can't be washed at 40 °C and are suitable for tumble-drying. To ensure the correct size is selected, measure the circumference at the widest part of the calf and the shoe size. The Sports Recovery Compression Socks are available in black.

Sports Compression Sleeves Upper Leg
The compressive effect is based on medical standards, i.e. it decreases from knee to thigh, promoting circulation. The muscles receive a better supply of oxygen, continue to perform more effectively and regenerate faster. Stimulating blood circulation also causes the thigh muscles to quickly heat up, which makes them better protected against injury. The sleeves, which come in a sporty design, are available as a pair, and are durable, breathable, and fit securely thanks to a silicone top band on the upper edging. They can be washed at 40 °C. To ensure the correct size is selected, the leg must be bent at a 90° angle and the circumference of the thigh must be measured just above the flexed knee. The circumference of the leg a hand’s width below the flexed knee must also be measured, as well as the length between these two points.

Sports Compression Sleeves Arm
The compressive effect is based on medical standards, i.e. it decreases from wrist to upper arm, promoting circulation.
