5 Best Compression Socks for Tennis: Good Foot and Calf Health

Introduction

ADLU has designed compression socks to promote blood flow and good circulation in the feet and calf area. ADLU’s compression socks are designed as crew-fit socks, and have gotten lots of good reviews from customers for a variety of different reasons.

We think the ADLU compression socks make a good first impression. Let’s dive into the specifics to see what they’re really about.

Review

A good first contender, ADLU’s compression socks provide the right amount of compression in the right places. We like how the crew fit is more versatile for users, not too high and not too low on the calf. 

ADLU also designed these socks to be extra comfortable, which they are, and have double-reinforced cloth and stitching in areas like the heels and toes.

This helps to keep those high friction areas strong and durable throughout even the toughest of sports. The ADLU compression socks were also very breathable.

One thing the ADLU compression socks are a bit lacking in is the fact that there’s only one size available.

We get that a compression sock is supposed to be tight, but you can’t really say a 7.5 size in women’s socks can comfortably fit a size 11 in men’s. 

It’s just too tight to be comfortable, and leave extra stress marks above the sock on the calves. So, before buying in bulk, make sure to try one to see if it fits your foot.

Introduction

Next up are the HUSO compression ankle socks. The HUSO compression ankle socks are the ones that look the most different on this list because they cover until just above the ankle.

Regardless, these socks have gotten lots of good reviews from customers, and many actually recommend them wholeheartedly to other future buyers.

Review

Because the HUSO compression ankle socks cut off at the ankle (as the name says), these socks are great for if you want to have less compression, or to focus it solely on your feet. 

We appreciated the extra comfortable design with the sweat-wicking fabric, and feel like HUSO really nailed it with the solid support given to the foot arch in these. 

Another level of comfort is added with the seamless toe area, and the deep heel cups keep the socks in place throughout all levels of the game.

We noticed that HUSO compression socks were very durable during the game and even off the court, but couldn’t handle the washer and started to get some light lint on the ankle area after a couple of washes. 

As the most expensive socks on the list, we felt like this shouldn’t be an issue with such a high-quality pair of socks.

Introduction

For our third player, we have the SB SOX compression socks. The SB SOX company is a game changer in this list.

It offers a wide variety of compression wear, including compression knee sleeves and even a lighter version of these socks with less compression.

Let’s take a look at the details regarding these socks.

Review

The SB SOX compression socks are the real deal when it comes to providing thorough coverage of the feet and calves.

They go up until almost the knee, and provide graduated compression that feels most firm around the foot, then tapers off at the calves. 

We also loved that the SB SOX kept the traditional colors of black and white, but also added some fun with other vibrant colors and cute patterns.

We noticed one tiny problem with the SB SOX compression socks, though. They have a seam along the toe area. This could lead to blistering in the toes if you use the socks during difficult and high-impact workouts or games.

Introduction

For our next pick, we tried the Laneco compression socks. The Laneco socks are backed by literally hundreds of positive reviews from customers who tried them, all voicing the same exceptional qualities. 

We had to try them for ourselves, so here’s a detailed review of the Laneco compression socks.

Review

The Laneco compression socks offer complete coverage of all areas that are susceptible to poor circulation, all the way from the upper calves down to your toes. 

These socks are also made with very lightweight fabric that was perfect during summer and winter alike, but still gave a good amount of firm compression. 

We loved the firmness of the cuff on top; not too tight to cut off circulation, but not too loose that the sock slips down. Another good quality about the Laneco socks was their cost.

Moreover, these socks cost much less than their competitors, but offer an equally satisfactory compression experience.

One thing we noticed about the Laneco compression socks was that, while there weren’t many bad reviews, the reviews that were bad were of people complaining of the size being too small for what they ordered. 

Many customers advised to buy a size bigger than your actual size to get a good fit for these socks.

Introduction

The final contenders for the best compression socks for tennis are the Physix Gear compression socks. 

Physix Gear is a well-known company in the compression wear game, and offers multiple compression products, like low-cut compression socks and compression calf sleeves.

Let’s dive right into the details of the Physix Gear compression socks.

Review

The Physix Gear compression socks are a solid choice for people who need full compression. These socks are long, and cover until the lower knee area. 

We loved the firm compression given throughout the sock, and really felt that it was keeping circulation, especially in the calf area. 

The anti-bacterial cloth also takes care of any odors that come from wearing compression socks during a tennis match.

One thing worth mentioning is that the top cuff of these socks is just a little too tight. While it keeps the socks on firmly, after an extended time of wearing them, they start to hurt a bit.

Plus, some customers complained that they leave marks on the skin after long periods of time. Compression socks should be tight, but in a comfortable way.
