When Ruby's compression socks were being created, there were many benefits we were looking to include. Here are five of our favorites!
1) SOFT FABRIC
The soft fabric of Ruby’s compression socks makes your legs feel like they’re being hugged! Composed of nylon, spandex, and silver-ion antimicrobial fibers, Rubies are created in a way that ensures maximum comfort and longevity. During the design process, a top priority was that toes would be given plenty of room to wiggle; your toes won’t be pinched or squished as you wear Ruby compression socks. A reinforced heel and toe add to the overall comfort and support!
2) PERFECT COMPRESSION
15-20 mmHg of compression ensures the benefits of compression without the pain and discomfort of medical-grade compression socks. Within this range, you will experience increased energy and support while exercising, traveling, or if you’re on your feet all day. You’ll also experience relief from pain and swelling, as well as prevention of potential embolisms, spider veins, and varicose veins. Pregnant mothers will experience relief from the pain and swelling in their feet and legs that frequently accompanies the final stretches of pregnancy. Many more groups of people can benefit from compression socks, but these ideas will be explored in future blog posts!
3) PERMANENTLY ANTIMICROBIAL
Ruby’s compression socks are created from permanently antimicrobial fabric to keep your feet from stinking. These antimicrobial properties have been tested by third-party labs and have been proven to last 200+ washings! We have received several reviews from nurses that these socks remain odor free, even if worn two shifts in a row without washing. (Note: this fact was discovered from feedback from customers; multiple nurses admitted that in the times they didn’t have enough time to do wash their Rubies between shifts, and they noticed their feet didn’t stink in spite of the multiple wears.)
4) PERSONALITY AND STYLE
Of course Ruby’s fun colors and designs keep you confident while you go about your workout or workday. Our favorite reviews are those that say that Ruby’s compression socks make our customers happy just by looking at them! It’s hard to be sad when your legs are enveloped in rainbow colors, and at Ruby we want to make sure this kind of joy is available to everyone.
(Bright and bold color combinations were another priority in the design process for Ruby compression socks; it was noted that these kinds of combinations were unsuccessfully executed by our competitors, but since an artist designed these socks they are executed tastefully and in alignment with principles of color theory.)
5) CONNECTION
When you gift a loved one a pair of Ruby’s compression socks, you’re showing them that you support them in more ways than one. For instance, if you gift one of the nurses in your life a pair of Rubies, they will think of your kindness, empathy, and support every time they put them on for their shift. Ruby compression socks are a great gift that shares love and good vibes for a long time to come!
