Apolla Socks are not your average pair of socks. Designed with premium compression levels of 20-30mmHg, they offer a snug fit that is both tight and effective. However, this level of compression should never result in pain or discomfort. If you're experiencing any issues, rest assured that we are here to help and troubleshoot with you to ensure you find the perfect fit.

Adjusting to High-Compression Socks

For those new to high-compression socks, it's important to allow some time for adjustment. Apolla Socks need to be broken in much like a shoe to give all the tiny bones and muscles time to adjust. Here's a simple plan to help your feet acclimate:

1. Start Slow: Wear the socks for 1-2 hours initially.

2. Gradual Increase: Over the next 7-10 days, gradually increase the duration of wear time each day.

3. Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to how your feet feel and adjust accordingly.

4. Putting Apolla Socks through a wash cycle (gentle cycle, low tumble dry) helps to break them as the socks will soften and mold to your feet the more you wear and wash them.

This gradual approach will help you enjoy the full benefits of Apolla Socks without discomfort.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you're having trouble putting on the socks or experiencing discomfort, we recommend watching our instructional video for helpful tips. You can access the video by clicking HERE.

Common Tips:

  • Ensure your feet are dry before putting on the socks.

  • Roll the sock down to the heel and then pull up gradually.

  • Make sure there are no wrinkles for optimal comfort.
