What is compression?

The feeling of heavy, tired or swollen legs is more common than you might think, especially when we spend many hours sitting or standing. This is where compression socks can make a difference.


How do compression socks work?

Compression socks apply controlled pressure to the legs, helping blood flow back towards the heart and reducing fluid build-up in the tissues. The result? They can help relieve swelling, feelings of heaviness and leg discomfort, providing a greater sense of comfort throughout the day. 


What are they used for?

Compression socks can be useful in many everyday situations, particularly when your legs spend long periods in the same position.

They are worth considering if you:

  • Spend many hours standing, such as healthcare professionals, teachers or retail workers.
  • Sit for long periods while working.
  • Travel by plane, train or car.
  • Frequently experience tired, heavy or swollen legs. 
  • Practice sports and want to improve your performance and recovery.

 

Compression can be part of your routine, too.

At Maly, we believe that taking care of your legs shouldn't mean compromising on style. We created preventive compression socks that combine comfort, functionality and personality-filled designs, so you can incorporate this form of care into your everyday life.
