Featuring MEDI COMPRESSION knit to ensure ultra-precise compression control by incorporating a compression thread into every stitch row the CEP Men’s 80's Hiking Compression Mid Cut Socks provide targeted compression exactly where it’s needed. For those familiar with compression sock technology from their ski or running sock experiences these mid-calf socks are designed to provide stimulation of the joints, to help to reduce injuries, and help with proprioception, the awareness through your feet of the position and movement of your body. By supporting muscle activation these aide in giving you greater accuracy and precision in your footing and movement on the trail. Whether you’re a weekend warrior looking for ankle and joint support to keep you out on the trail in comfort, or hitting your training stride and want to put in more distance, these compression socks provide targeted support throughout the ankle for those days out on the trail. Whether you pair these with today’s low fast hikers or traditional mid or ankle high boots, these have an asymmetrical cut and targeted padding designed to prevent blisters and fit smoothly underfoot for an all-day comfortable supportive compression sock specifically designed for hikers.
