Sports Compression Socks

Sports Compression Socks for Skating, BMX, Courts and Fields

Playing a sport is hard on your lower legs in its own way: sprints, jumps, hard landings, quick cuts, and long sessions where the last thing you want is to stop and fix a sock. Sports compression socks are made to be worn through all of it. Old Bones comes out of skateboarding, so the park is where these socks get tested first.

Each pair packs 15-20 mmHg of graduated compression, strongest at the ankle, with arch support and a cushioned sole underneath for all those landings. They're over-the-calf, long enough to wear under soccer shin guards or skate pads.

Picking them for your sport

Skating and BMX: long sessions, hard slams and pads over the top. Put skate insoles in your shoes, and see our skateboarding knee braces if your knees are feeling it too.
Basketball, volleyball and pickleball: jumping, landing and side-to-side cuts on a hard court, game after game.
Soccer, softball and field sports: sprints, sudden stops and long stretches on your feet in cleats.

There are plenty of designs to match a team kit or stand out at the park, from stripes and skulls to plain solids. Browse them all in our compression socks collection, and use the sizing guide to find your size.

FAQs

Can you wear compression socks while playing sports?

Yes, that's what these are made for. 15-20 mmHg graduated compression is comfortable for a full game or session, and the arch support and cushioned footbed help on jumps and landings. If you're coming back from an injury, follow your healthcare provider's or physical therapist's timeline for returning to play.

Can I wear compression socks under shin guards or knee pads?

Yes. The over-the-calf length sits under soccer shin guards, and skaters wear them under knee pads. Put the socks on first so they lie flat and smooth, then the guards or pads over the top.

Are compression socks good for skateboarding?

Plenty of skaters wear them for long sessions at the park or in the street. Graduated compression gives your calves and feet a snug, supported feel, and helps your legs feel less beat by the end of the day. Old Bones started in skateboarding, so skaters are who these socks were made with.
