Sports and Compression Socks - an Interview with Debbie Lefkowitz of Hocsocx

I had a chance to interview Debbie Lefkowitz, founder of Hocsocx, to learn about sports and compression socks.

Why is it important for kids to wear appropriate socks under sports gear?
It is important for kids to wear appropriate socks under sports gear for protection against rubs, rashes, and blisters that can occur from wearing sports equipment.  Many kids develop itchy, nagging skin issues when wearing sports equipment and perspiring which, if left unprotected, can lead to chronic irritation and dermatitis. While treatments with creams and ointments may seem to be a solution, placing a barrier between the skin and the equipment is what truly solves the problem. The best treatment is prevention.

What sets Hocsocx apart from other socks?
Hocsocx are specifically designed to be worn as a liner sock. They are thin but durable and fit comfortably like a second skin under equipment. Hocsocx’s unique blend of performance material wicks away perspiration from the skin, keeping the skin dry and less likely to harbor yeast or bacteria that can cause skin irritation. Hocsocx also protects the equipment from continued exposure to sweat that causes odor and wear and tear. 

How can performance compression help both athletes and people not on the playing field?Performance compression helps both athletes and non athletes. Compression by design helps blood flow to the muscles. For the athlete, this aids in muscle recovery and can also increase endurance during exercise and activity. It is thought that compression can also help with prevention of injury, such as shin splints. Off the field, compression is recommended for people who need the extra support and increased blood flow to extremities. This will aid in energizing tired, achy legs and feet for those that sit or stand for long periods of time. Compression has been shown to help with reducing spider veins, varicose veins and other blood flow Insufficiencies.

The high performance liners (founded by a sports mom of five) also offer light compression to increase muscular endurance and recovery. The products are renowned for their exceptional comfort and ability to stay in place and not ride up or fall down.
