WOMEN'S RUNNING COMPRESSION
READ: HOW TO USE COMPRESSION TO MAKE YOU A BETTER RUNNER / SIMPLE TIPS TO PREVENT INJURIES
Every piece of compression clothing works by holding your muscles firmly in place, which cuts down on the muscle vibration that occurs on impact with the ground. This added support can reduce the risk of muscle strain and micro-tears, meaning you can get back to your training sooner.
The range includes solutions for your entire body. Compression tights apply a healthy squeeze to the glutes, quads, and calves for lower body support, while compression shorts offer a more focused alternative. For targeted calf support and to aid circulation in the lower legs, many runners turn to our specialist compression socks. Find the right gear to support your performance and accelerate your recovery.
Women’s running compression gear, such as tights and socks, uses graduated compression to boost blood flow, improve oxygen delivery, and speed up the removal of lactic acid. This helps reduce muscle fatigue, supports faster recovery, lowers injury risk, and can enhance overall running performance.
Yes, women’s compression socks provide graduated compression from the ankle upwards, stimulating blood flow and supporting muscles and joints. They help reduce muscle soreness, speed up recovery, and lower the risk of certain injuries, while also keeping your feet cool, dry, and blister-free with breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics.
Absolutely. Studies show that wearing compression tights or socks after running can enhance recovery by reducing muscle soreness and swelling, helping you get back to training sooner. Compression also supports muscles and joints, which can lower the risk of post-run stiffness and injury.
Compression gear should fit much tighter than standard running wear but should not be painful or restrict movement. A proper fit ensures optimal pressure for circulation benefits. If it’s too tight, it may hinder blood flow; if too loose, it won’t provide the intended support.
High-quality women’s compression clothing typically retains its supportive stretch for around 40–60 washes, similar to the lifespan of running shoes. Always follow care instructions—machine wash in cold water and avoid bleach—to maximise durability and performance.
