Japanese Daily Compression Socks Large

Compression socks so snuggly yet rugged you’re going to want to marry them, go on a walking honeymoon somewhere cold and have fluffy little sock babies together.

They’re made by Syn Project in Nagano, Japan. This mountainous region has a rich history of walking trails, going back to the Samurai Nakasendo Trail, the main hiking route from Edo Tokyo over to Kyoto.

This history is sewn into every pair, embracing the brand’s philosophy of connecting with nature. Using centuries of walking wisdom, they’re designed and woven to expertly wrap and support the foot.

This style is designed to optimise comfort and minimise foot fatigue in everyday life: constructed from woven cotton which wraps the foot from ankle to calf to help improve blood flow and relieve tired legs. Magnets sewn into the sole are said to promote blood circulation, much like stimulating acupuncture points.
