While Apolla originates in dance footwear, Apolla has created the best of a shoe + sock making Apolla SHOCKS. When dance moms and dads started adopting Apolla Shocks for their own feet, we knew we couldn’t hide the patented technology that we created, making the best compression on the market! We needed to get relief to everyone with foot pain. The patented targeted compressions zones lift and stabilize where your feet and ankles need to assist circulation and provide stabilization in all the right places. This creates arch support and ankle stability that is similar to kinesiology taping but with better range of motion. This highly engineered technology reduces and removes inflammation effectively. PLUS, the energy absorption pads in the heels and balls of the feet have been proven in a recent study to reduce force in your feet. Relieves plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, long days, flying, inflammation, severs disease, hypermobility, growth related pain. This reduction of inflammation is imperative to keep blood flow and prevent chronic injuries. Great for everyday wear, travel, long days, running, athletics, yoga, Pilates, warm-up, recovery, martial artists, and so much more! Each style has a unique fit that caters to picky feet preferences. They are odor-resistant, moisture-wicking, and are such high-quality and durable we guarantee them 6 months minimum! From bare feet to full coverage support, there is an Apolla Shocks style for you!
