Compression for the runner
The Compression page for women's running brings together compression socks, sleeves and tights, from Bauerfeind, CEP, Falke, Injinji, Endurance, Elite Lab, Nike or Odlo.
Lighter legs during and after the run.
Medical Expertise
Several brands of sports compression come from the medical world. Bauerfeind, a German company founded in 1929, produces orthotics and compression stockings before applying its expertise to sports, such as with the Run Ultralight sock. CEP is the sports brand of the German medical hosiery manufacturer medi. This origin is reflected in the precision of the pressure applied and the quality of the knitting.
Recovery and Heavy Legs
Descending compression, which is stronger at the ankle than at the calf, promotes venous return. Many female runners wear it for recovery, in the hours following a long run or race, or during a flight or car journey, to limit the sensation of heavy legs. During exercise, it supports the muscle and reduces its vibrations. Merino socks, like the CEP Merino, add warmth and odour control.
Choosing and Caring for Them
The women's models, like the Falke RU4 or RU Stabilizing, are knitted to fit the female calf and foot. The size is chosen based on the calf measurement, taken at the widest point, and sometimes the shoe size. The sleeves, like those from Nike or Odlo, cover the arms against the sun or chill at the start, while the tights Elite Lab support the thighs. Everything is washed at 30 degrees, without fabric softener, and dried flat.
The Rest of the Women's Textile
Women's running textiles continue with tops and t-shirts, shorts and briefs, trousers and leggings, sweatshirts, windbreakers and jackets, bras and socks, accessories, on the women's textile page.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do medical manufacturers make sports compression?
Bauerfeind, a German company founded in 1929, produces orthotics and medical stockings, and CEP is the sports brand of the German manufacturer medi: this origin ensures precise and graduated pressure.
Does compression help circulation after exercise?
The descending pressure, stronger at the ankle, supports venous return and relieves the feeling of heaviness, useful after a long run, prolonged standing, or sitting for a long time.
What compression for thin or strong calves?
The size is based on the measurements of the calf and ankle. Brands often offer several calf widths for the same shoe size, which avoids the tourniquet effect or excessive looseness in compression.
Tights or compression socks for running?
Compression tights also support the thighs and glutes, useful for long distances and in cool weather. Socks target the calf, the most worked area while running.
How to put on a compression sock?
Turn the sock inside out until the heel, put your foot in, and then gradually roll it up over the calf without pulling at the top: the fabric distributes without folds or overly tight areas.
