View All FAQsApolla Socks are compression socks for women and men, and the first wear can feel firm if you are new to supportive garments. They are made to fit close and secure, which helps deliver the support and relief they are known for. They should feel snug, but not painful or restrictive.
If you are unsure about sizing, review the size chart. When you are between sizes, going up is often the best choice. Free exchanges are available if a different size works better.
High-compression socks can take a little practice at first. Try these steps:
- Inside Out: Turn the sock inside out up to the heel.
- Toes First: Slide your toes fully into place.
- Slow Pull: Ease the sock over your heel and up the leg, smoothing as you go.
If these tips still do not help, email apollasocks@gmail.com. You may need a different size or an easier-to-don profile, and exchanges and returns are available.
It depends on the Apolla Sock style. Many styles are made to pair with everyday shoes or dance shoes for added comfort and support. The Performance Sock works well with athletic shoes and daily wear, while the open-toe Joule is a better match for sandals or open-toe shoes.
For a discreet no-show option with ankle and plantar fascia support, the AMP is a strong choice for most closed-toe shoes. Compression leg warmers can also be worn with many shoes or Apolla styles.
It is a sock, and also a Shock. Dancers often call the dance version SHOCKS because they combine the support of a shoe with the comfort of a sock. With the grip option, they can take the place of dance footwear. Outside of dance, they are simply compression socks with the same Apolla support.
Apolla Socks are designed to be supportive and comfortable, but a short adjustment period can happen, especially if compression is new to you or your feet are sensitive.
Sizing: Confirm you are wearing the correct size. Socks that are too tight may cause pain or limit circulation.
Gradual wear: Start with shorter wear times and build up as your feet adjust.
Existing concerns: If you have plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, neuropathy, or another condition, check with a medical professional to confirm whether Apolla Socks are right for you.

First, make sure the size is correct. If the socks are too loose, you may not feel the full compression benefit. When you are between sizes, sizing up is often recommended.
Compression feels different for everyone. Some people notice support right away, while others feel subtler improvements after several consistent wears. Pay attention to comfort, swelling, fatigue, performance, recovery, and pain levels over time.
