I'm a professional rock climbing guide with weak ankles from old injuries and need to be careful hiking uneven terrain with a heavy pack. I haven't rolled my ankles while wearing the Performance socks, they provide unleveled stability without restricting motion. They're expensive but a whole lot cheaper than getting injured! I also love the barefoot Joule for when I am injured/recovering and want to wear flip flops.

I live in Australia and saw Apolla socks on Shark Tank. My three pairs of socks arrived and I have not taken them off! My exercise is line dancing 2-3 times a week. The quality of the socks is off the scale good and the only words I can say about them is that "all day when I am wearing my socks I feel like my feet are being given a caressing tender hug". If you are thinking of purchasing them please do not hesitate. You will not be disappointed.

As a dancer on full-time tour, Apolla is exactly the kind of support my ankles need. I use the Performance, Joule, and Leg Warmers and they really help with my tendinitis. The Joule are really great for extra support, especially when working in character shoes!

The Apolla performance socks are my favorite socks I have ever owned. If you are a dancer, you need these! They are perfect for long convention weekends, dancing on carpet. I will definitely be purchasing again!

The socks are great! My feet no longer hurt while working out or walking. I highly recommend Apolla socks! They definitely are worth the money.

I absolutely love my new Apolla Joule Shock socks, they help to support my arch and ankle right where I need it when dancing on pointe.

I got my first pair at a DCI event back in 2024. I completely forgot I had them till I got on tour and boy am I glad I remembered. These socks literally made my insoles feel like a pillow and a cloud had a child. I am obsessed with these socks and refuse to wear anything else. They are well worth the price and affordable for a broke collage student like myself. But even in the off season when I am out running or just doing errands these socks give me the motivation to get things done.

A few years ago my dance studio switched to using the Apolla Half Sole Shock instead of a traditional turner/ half sole. I immediately began to have less foot pain/injuries, my tendinitis went away, and I became a more confident dancer. Since then I have purchased so many more, I use the mid-calf traction shocks for my contemporary and modern classes. I wear the ones without traction on hikes, plane rides, and even just to school. If I could suggest the entire world to wear Apolla Shock, I would!

I am a dancer who has had terrible ankle issues for years. I love that my Apolla socks help to make dancing more comfortable!

I found these socks on Facebook. I’m not one who usually writes a review……I purchased the ankle socks. I was intrigued because their advertising referenced the socks being more expensive. I will absolutely be reordering because I finally found a sock that was snug and yet lightweight. Often times, ankle socks will slide around. This provided the perfect fit with the added benefit of compression. It was worth the money. Outstanding quality with a price commensurate with that quality! I’m glad I made the purchase….

Update: After a few hiccups, we now have the correct socks. My husband swears by these socks and is telling everyone to give them a try. Thank you for the follow-up go to the team at Apolla. First Review: In what can only have been a bad day on the packaging line, we ended up with only left socks. After a crazy amount of back and forth, they agreed to send us replacement socks once we returned 8 left socks. And, now they sent the wrong socks and have gone radio silent. We want to love the socks, but first we have to get them!

As a personal trainer and dancer, I love wearing Apolla performance socks to provide stability to my ankles and feet as I am dancing and moving all day long. I've noticed a difference in support, comfort, and fatigue after wearing the socks as well. My favorite style is the Performance Crew - perfect "dancer length" for a sock.

These socks are a game changer!

I'm a retired professional dancer turned full-time dance coach, and these are the ONLY socks I'll teach in. They're a game changer, and I wish I had them when I was dancing professionally!

As a dancer and performer, I’ve tried countless brands of dance socks, but nothing compares to Apolla. The support they provide is truly life-changing. Especially for someone like me who struggles with flat feet and plantar fasciitis. The targeted compression helps reduce pain and fatigue during long rehearsals and performances, while still allowing full mobility and articulation.

I have been using Shocks for about seven years now and I placed a new order in early summer so that I would have socks for my next dance season. I have just put the shocks on for the first time and they are amazing., I don’t know what y’all have done different, but there is a lot more compression a lot more traction, a lot more everything and these are fantastic!!! Please keep doing what you’re doing because these socks have changed my life and have changed the way I dance and teach dance!!! thank you!!! Julie Moore

I have been having problems with my ankles since teen years, and being a ballerina did not help. When I started my career, I felt very insecure and unsure when practicing/performing, until I discovered Apolla. I started with the Joule socks, and it changed my relationship with pointe work and also high performing contemporary dance. It not only keeps my joints warm but also supports my feet greatly, it helps with swelling specially after a long day of rehearsals. Great gear to bring to the gym as well. I absolutely adore Apolla socks and hope to be able to try different models and colors.

Apolla socks are a dance essential! They offer incredible arch and ankle support, providing stability without limiting movement. I've noticed a significant reduction in foot fatigue and soreness after long dance sessions, thanks to their compression and cushioning. These socks truly enhance my dance experience, allowing me to focus on my performance with greater comfort and confidence. Highly recommended!

These are great for cheer. These are great for tumblers. They are good for support while tumbling and recovery after! I want to get every color!

As a ballet dancer, foot care is everything. We spend countless hours training, rehearsing, and performing—so the gear we choose matters. That’s why I absolutely love Apolla socks.

First and foremost, they offer incredible arch support. After long days in class or rehearsals, I can feel the difference. The compression technology in Apolla socks helps reduce swelling and fatigue, which means I can dance longer and recover faster.

Another reason I’m a fan: they’re designed with dancers in mind. The grip on the soles provides just enough traction without sticking too much, which is perfect for turning and stability during center work. They're also sleek enough to wear in or out of shoes without bunching up.

I also appreciate that Apolla socks are sustainable and built to last. It’s clear they’re made with quality in mind.

Apolla socks are a game-changer. They combine comfort, support, and performance in one product—and for dancers who are tough on their bodies and their gear, that makes all the difference.

Love my performance socks! I wear them during my long nights teaching ballet to help with my tendonitis and reduce swelling after being on my feet all night. Have three pair of the performance style :)

These socks are a game-changer. The arch support and compression make a huge difference during long rehearsals and performances. They help reduce fatigue, stay in place, and feel super secure without limiting movement. I won’t dance without them!

My Apolla socks snug my feet and ankles in all the right places! It gives me the support my body needs so that the hours I put in to dance each week don’t affect my body in a negative way. They fit the contemporary vibe perfectly and make me feel and look good as I dance the day away!

I am so excited to be trying Apolla compression socks for cheer! no more bulky ankle braces!!

How good it makes my feet feel

Apolla Performance has helped me so much with my injuries that have occurred throughout my dance journey! It also helped me so much in the healing process and preventing more as well.

Comfort during cheer

They keep my hypermobile feet in place
