Unfortunately these are not for me. The material around the fore foot area is too padded and and too thick the result caused problems with my feet. The compression round the calf felt good though.

The Active Compression Socks are amazing. I am a runner and a nurse, both activities that benefit greatly from calf compression. I recommend this Skins product for its high quality and great performance. I've already purchased a 2nd pair and will be buying more in the future!

I've just ordered a 2nd pair. These socks are amazing! I'm a part-time active fitness enthusiast and a full-time nurse in a busy emergency department. I would highly recommend these socks to athletes and nurses alike!

I have worn skins before they are a great Australian brand making a great product. They have always worked for me and I found these compression socks no different. I always find you get what you pay for and Skins products are no exception. Keep up the great work

Excellent quality and product, being a bike messenger for hours during the day can get tough, and these socks clearly help me throughout the day.

The quality, design and appearance of these elasticated socks are excellent. The only slight drawback is that for an old man having to pull them on, it needs some strength. The hint I was given by a nurse is to put my foot first into a cheap plastic bag and draw the sock on over the bag pulling the bag as I go.

good socks although sometimes fall down whilst running despite being the same size as ones I had bought before

Compression Benefits

Engineered Gradient Compression

Gradient Compression has been engineered to provide the correct level of surface pressure to enhance circulation and increase oxygen delivery – boosting your power, speed and stamina

Functional Design

Muscle Focus

Biomechanically positioned panels and seams support and stabilise the muscles to reduce fatigue and risk of injury.

Anti-chafing Yarn

SKINS socks are constructed from a special anti-chafing yarn reduces heat, moisture, friction and the risk of blisters

Fabric Technology

Moisture Management

Moisture wicking fabric draws sweat away from the body to the surface of the garment where it evaporates to keep you dry.

SKINS Sock Fit

SKINS sock sizing system takes into account your calf circumference, because you only get the full benefits of engineered gradient compression if your SKINS fit you properly around your calf muscle. The anatomic left and right construction also gives a comfortable fit around your foot.
