Apparel reviews of CW-X Unisex Adult Ventilator Compression Support Socks
Customer Review: Fantastic Support for Diabetic
Rating: 5 Stars
I was recently diagnosed as diabetic. I've had terrible problems with circulation, edema, and infection in my legs. I've been extremely tired (can't stay awake.) Then I discovered these socks. When they arrived I thought, these flimsy things can't possible be that good. I was entirely mistaken. The very first day I wore these socks I felt an incredible lightness in my feet and calves, like I had wings. What's more, I've had a weak ankle most of my life. The sock helped with that problem, too. I've since tried other products and haven't found them to be anywhere as effective. You don't even feel the CW-X sock, it stays up, and it doesn't cause discomfort at the band. I was so shocked and so relieved the first day, that I washed the sock out that night to wear the next day. They were just as good the next day. I've already ordered more. My edema is down and I don't fall asleep as much --- these socks help that much. By comparison, other socks I've tried (from companies I've loved for years) are primitive. For my day job I'm a teacher, on my feet all day. Then I spend hours seated---perfect opportunity for the feet to swell. Reading the reviews, I see that others had a more mixed experience with these socks. This is only one report. But I love these socks. They seem very well made. I'm a guy, my nails aren't perfect, normally who cares? But you can snag the fabric, since it clings to you and you have to stretch it. You'll have to be careful not to catch them on your fingernails. Good socks.
Description of CW-X Unisex Adult Ventilator Compression Support Socks
CW-X patented compression support socks increase circulation for reduced fatigue and quicker recovery, and support the calf muscles, ankle joint and arch.Any athlete can benefit from the added support and accelerated recovery benefits of CW-X's Compression Support socks. The patented, built-in Kinesio Support Web supports the calf and arch of the foot, and it stabilizes the ankle joint for reduced fatigue. Torex four-way stretch fabric provides variable compression to increase circulation in the feet and lower legs and reduce lactic acid buildup. This means you can recover faster after exercise, and your legs and feet will feel fresher the next day. These socks feature patented, built-in webbing to support the calf muscles, ankle joint, and arch. The cushioned sole and toe provide additional comfort. The socks also sport sanitized, antimicrobial, antibacterial properties.
Fabrics
These socks are made with seamless, variable compression 90 percent nylon, 10 percent polyurethane four-way stretch fabric to improve circulation.
About Kinesio Support Web Technology
The patented CW-X Kinesio Support Web technology mimics Kinesio taping techniques that trainers apply to injured muscles. When this technology is applied to muscles and joints, it creates an exoskeletal support system that improves biomechanics during motion. The Kinesio Support Web provides targeted support to key areas, decreasing muscle oscillation and focusing power so your muscles work more efficiently. Variable compression along the web facilitates circulation, minimizing lactic acid build-up and muscle soreness, so you can be active longer and recover faster.

For 40 years, scientists at Wacoal Human Science Research Center in Kyoto, Japan, have studied kinesiology, the science of human movement. They have tested over 35,000 people and analyzed injuries relative to warm-up and cool-down periods. They have come to understand the mechanics of joints and muscles in minute detail. This exhaustive study of body movement has culminated in over 50 patents worldwide.
Below are some further studies demonstrating the performance-enhancing qualities of CW-X Conditioning Wear.
Human Science Research Center, Kyoto, Japan: Study of electrical pulse activity in muscles
Muscles firing into motion were measured electromyographically for subjects wearing CW-X gear, subjects wearing competitor products, and subjects with bare legs. Electrical pulse activity decreased in unsupported and partly supported legs during exercise, indicative of fatigue. Legs supported by CW-X showed a negligible decrease in electrical pulse activity.

Human Science Research Center, Kyoto, Japan: Study of stability, impact, and motion
In this study, high-speed video analysis was used to compare stability, impact, and motion in CW-X products and regular compression gear. CW-X Support Web tights were 10 percent more stable and balanced and absorbed 12 percent more shock to the knee than regular compression tights. CW-X Support Web tops allowed 9 percent greater range of motion for the arm than regular compression tops.

This study measured VO2 oxygen uptake levels over the course of 15 minutes of running in CW-X gear, regular compression tights, and running shorts. CW-X Support Web tights showed 26 percent less oxygen use than regular compression tights and 36 percent less oxygen use than traditional running shorts, indicating lower energy expenditure.
