Manufacturers use a special weaved fabric to make athletic gear. The fibers are compressed and designed to deliver a controlled amount of pressure in areas that require the most support.  Eastbay compression stockings are specifically designed to improve athletic performance and to aid in muscle repair after injuries. During training or running, athletes typically wear compression stockings to increase blood circulation, to prevent swelling, relieve tired legs, and to promote muscle repair when needed.


Although compression stockings are highly recommended for training and optimum performance, athletes should be cautious when using compression garments if they have pre-existing circulatory problems.
