Do your calves and feet feel heavy and tired after a long padel match or a hard running session? Dealing with a sensitive Achilles tendon, blisters or a foot that slides around inside your shoe? The Floky Run Up Long is a long compression sock that supports your leg from foot to calf: more stability during sport, less muscle fatigue and faster recovery afterwards.

What problem do the Run Up Long compression socks solve?

With every step, sprint and change of direction, your feet and calves absorb significant forces. Without good support, that leads to tired, heavy legs, an overloaded Achilles tendon and blisters from friction. The Run Up Long tackles this and helps with complaints such as:

• Tired, heavy legs during and after sport
• A sensitive or overloaded Achilles tendon
• Blisters from friction between foot and shoe
• A foot that slides around in the shoe during fast movements
• Slow recovery and stiff calves after exertion

Through targeted compression and biomechanical support, the sock acts as a filter between your foot, your shoe and the ground. The result: more stable feet, better protected calves and tendons, and muscles that recover faster.

The three strengths

• Midfoot compression: stimulates blood flow and venous return, supporting muscle power and shortening recovery time.
• Calf stabilization and Achilles protection: the Tape System acts as a second tendon, dampens vibrations and protects the Achilles tendon and calf against microtrauma.
• Anti-slip system: on the sole and at the instep, the sock keeps your foot in place inside the shoe, for more stability and grip during fast movements.

Further features

• Support for the fifth metatarsal, the bone most sensitive to mechanical load.
• Reflective arrows for extra visibility in the dark or at dusk.
• Lightweight, breathable fabric with ventilating side bands, for dry and cool feet.
• Yarn partly made from recycled plastic bottles, for a more sustainable choice.

For whom and when?

The Run Up Long is suitable for padel, tennis and running, and for any sport with a lot of starting, stopping and changing direction. Wear the sock during sport for stability and protection, and benefit afterwards from the faster recovery the compression provides.

Which size do I need?

The Run Up Long is available in five sizes: XS, S, M, L and XL, based on your shoe size. Consult the size chart to find the right size for your shoe size. If you are between two sizes, choose the smaller one for firmer compression.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use these socks for padel too?

Absolutely. The Run Up Long is designed for running, but the calf compression, Achilles protection and anti-slip are just as valuable in padel, where you constantly start, stop and change direction.

How do I determine my size?

Sizing is by shoe size. Choose your size using the size chart. If you are between two sizes, choose the smaller one for firmer compression.

Do the socks help against blisters?

The applications are on the outside without internal threads, and the anti-slip reduces friction between foot and shoe. This helps lower the chance of blisters.

The Floky Run Up Long is a supportive sports aid and not a medical treatment. If you have persistent, severe or increasing complaints, we recommend consulting a doctor or (sports) physiotherapist for personal advice.
