Unlike other graduated compression socks, the Infinite sock will not stretch out, roll down, or lose its shape over time. 

The Infinite sock is also designed for comfort, with a spacious toe box and padded energy absorption that accommodates wider feet and provides relief for bunion pain, corns, and hammertoes. 

It is also available in wide fit options for an even more customized fit.

"Shin splints are caused by repetitive stress on the shinbone and the connective tissues that attach the muscles to the bone. This can happen when the muscles, tendons, or shin bone are overloaded, often because high impact or repetitive exercise." Ref. Mayo Clinic

Yes, the Infinite Sock can help reduce shin splint pain, reducing the risk of overuse injuries because repetitive strain IS what we do!

Unlike most compression socks that ONLY give compression on the calves, Apolla Socks are unique with our highly engineered design that provides more function for the feet, ankles and body.

Many athletes, including runners and dancers, have found that wearing Apolla Socks, especially the Infinite due to the additional support in the calf, helps minimize their risk of shin splints due to the provided arch support, force reduction and improved circulation, reducing inflammation and promoting faster healing.

Force Reduction: Apolla padded socks act like tiny shock absorbers for your feet. With every step, they soften the impact and lessen the stress on your joints.

Over time, this helps reduce wear and tear from your ankles to your spine.

This force reduction is clear during jumps. Apolla socks greatly lower peak vertical ground reaction force (VGRF) compared to jumping barefoot (Russell & Mueller, 2022).

Arch Support: The firm compression is not just in one squeeze on the arch, it is targeted and engineered support to help stabilize the plantar fascia in key points of the arch and your lower leg muscles.

This also reduces the amount of inflammation by reducing the wear and tear on the many joints in the feet during exercise and speeding up recovery post exercise.

Enhanced Recovery: Rest is essential to repetitive strain injuries and the Infinite helps speed up the recovery time when you wear them after exercise, helping your feet feel refreshed every day.

Post-workout game changers! Many athletes experience a temporary reduction in athletic performance, caused by muscle fatigue, delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), shin splints, edema, and various minor injuries.

Post-Injury/Surgery

Apolla Socks' targeted compression helps to speed up recovery time after ankle injuries like sprains or surgery by reducing swelling and promoting more efficient blood flow.

The mid-calf length of the Infinite Sock is ideal for recovery and often an easier height than the knee high.

It provides targeted compression to your feet, ankles, and calves—the areas most affected by fatigue and swelling after exercise or long periods of standing or sitting.

It also has medical grade graduated compression up the calf so improves blood flow, which aids in flushing out waste products like lactic acid and reduces recovery time.

Some people also like that it is not as high as a knee high, and is better to wear in a boot and not have to fold it over.

Here's some tips and tricks on how to put them on more easily:

1. Fold-in-Half Method: Fold the sock lengthwise before slipping it on.
2. Inside-Out Method: Put the sock on inside out, then pull it right-side out.

Yes! Apolla Socks are designed to provide exceptional support and extra padding to protect the feet and provide pain relief for various foot and ankle conditions.

Here's how they can help:

Sever's Disease: Apolla Performance Shock socks are like MAGIC for our customers & young athletes who have 'tried everything' and are still suffering from Sever's Disease.

Targeted compression and a padded heel reduce stress on the heel's growth plate, providing relief and support.

The extra padding and compression arch support make these socks an excellent alternative to traditional heel cups or inserts, helping dancers, athletes, and active kids stay on their feet with less pain.

Sprained Ankles: Apolla Socks provide ankle support similar to an ankle brace, helping to stabilize the joint and uncomparable in reducing swelling.

Customers recovering from sprains have shared incredible testimonies about how getting our socks on right after a sprain not only helped them reduce pain but also helped them recover faster.

They can also help in reducing the risk of an ankle sprain or roll due to our high compression targeted where the 3 ligaments insert on the outer ankle, noting improved stability and reduced pain while dancing and engaging in other activities.

Neuropathy: Many customers report relief from neuropathy symptoms thanks to reduced pressure and improved circulation. However, it varies from person to person and depends on where your neuropathy is. For some it is miraculous, for others, it can aggravate it.

The Infinite Mid-Calf, Endurance Knee High, and The Performance Crew profiles are popular choices for neuropathy.

For additional compression, we recommend moving up to The Endurance our knee high compression stocking for full lower leg coverage.

Sesamoiditis: Apolla's targeted compression and arch support reduce pressure on the sesamoid bones, helping alleviate pain and promote healing.

Check out the reviews from customers to see how many suffering from sesamoiditis have found relief.

Achilles Tendinitis: The compression and support provided by Apolla Socks help reduce inflammation and promote healing of the Achilles tendon. Our socks have been life-changing for dancers in recovery from Achilles surgery, cutting down time sitting out.

Our mid-calf, knee-high, or crew profiles are especially popular for Achilles tendonitis relief.

POTS, Edema & Lymphedema: It is widely known that wearing compression socks helps enhance efficient circulation, and reduce the risk of blood clots, DVT, and varicose veins. The Infinite's medical-grade graduated compression (20-30 mmHg) helps improve blood flow, which can significantly reduce swelling and alleviate symptoms associated with POTS, edema, and lymphedema.

It is very difficult to find graduated compression garments that help youth with edema or lymphedema as well, and with our smaller sizes starting at 12.5/1 we find a lot of physical therapists overjoyed to have an option to recommend our socks to their pediatric lymphedema patients.

Hypermobility: It is also difficult to find options for individuals with Ehler's Danlos Syndrome (EDS) to help reduce their joint pain and provide stability that does not restrict their range of motion.

Ankle braces can be too restrictive and uncomfortable whereas Apolla's targeted and graduated compression is the "goldilocks" of high-quality compression and comfort.

Many customers with these conditions have found relief and improved comfort with the Infinite Sock. For those that advised by their doctor for their full calf to be covered, we recommend looking at The Endurance, our knee-high profile.

While Apolla Socks are recognized by the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA), individual results may vary.

It's essential to consult your doctor before using compression socks, especially if you have any underlying health conditions.
