Choosing the Right Fit: A Guide to Apolla Performance Socks Socks
Finding the perfect pair of socks is crucial for comfort and performance, especially if you have specific foot needs such as wider feet, metatarsal injuries, or bunions. At Apolla Performance, we understand the importance of a well-fitting sock and offer a range of options designed to cater to various foot shapes and conditions.
Understanding Your Options
The Infinite (Mid-Calf) and The Endurance (Knee-High)
Both The Infinite and The Endurance styles are excellent choices for individuals seeking a roomier fit in the toe box. This makes them particularly suitable for those with wider feet or conditions like metatarsal injuries and bunions, which can be aggravated by pressure from tighter fits.
The Infinite: A mid-calf option that provides comfort and support without compromising on style.
The Endurance: A knee-high design that offers additional coverage and support, ideal for those needing more comprehensive protection.
Wide Sizing for Extra Wide Feet
If your feet are considered extra wide, or if you typically wear wide shoes, our WIDE sizing is recommended. This option is also beneficial for those with wide ankles or calves, ensuring a comfortable fit that accommodates your unique shape.
Why We Don't List Calf Circumference for Wide Versions?
Our Wide sizing is intentionally designed using anatomical proportions, not arbitrary measurements.
Here's why we approach it this way:
Proportional Engineering Approach: Our Wide versions of the Infinite (Mid-Calf) and Endurance (Knee-High) are engineered based on the natural anatomical relationship between foot size and calf proportions.
When someone has a wider foot requiring our Wide sizing, their calf dimensions typically scale proportionally.
This means our Wide versions are automatically well-proportioned to accommodate the standard wide calf range relative to their foot size.
Why Calf Measurements Would Be Misleading: Unlike generic compression socks that rely on single measurements, our patented targeted compression zones are designed to work across a range of calf sizes within each Wide size category.
Providing a specific circumference measurement could unnecessarily limit customers who would benefit from the Wide fit but fall slightly outside an arbitrary number range.
Built for Real Bodies: Our Wide sizing accommodates the natural variation in calf sizes that correspond to wider feet, extending up to male size 13-15.
The graduated compression and specialized fit account for the full spectrum of proportions within this range, ensuring therapeutic benefits while maintaining comfort.
Confidence in Fit: Keep in mind, and reassure the customer we stand behind our sizing with free returns and exchanges.
This guarantee allows customers to experience the proper fit without the anxiety of whether they match a specific measurement.
Our sizing is based on your street shoe size and foot width - the most reliable indicators for proper compression sock fit.
The Bottom Line: Trust our proportional engineering.
If you wear wide shoes and fall within our Wide size range based on foot size, the calf fit will be appropriately proportioned for your body's natural dimensions, if not, we will send you a return label to ship them back for a refund, on us!
