• Pregnancy plays a role in the development of
  varicose veins. Thirty percent of women pregnant
  for the first time, and 55 percent of women who
  have had two or more full term pregnancies
  develop varicose veins. Women who are pregnant
  are also at a high risk for the development of a
  Deep Vein Thrombosis, known as DVT. One reason is
  due to the increased blood volume at full term.
  Additionally, pregnancy causes hormonal changes
  that increase blood coagulability, a measure of
  how easily blood clots. Wearing compression socks
  can help keep your legs healthy during pregnancy
  and beyond.

Wearing the socks during exercise was believed to
aid performance, increase oxygen delivery and
blood flow, reduce the jarring, vibration and
stress to the muscles, and prevent soft tissue
damage such asshin splints. Some athletes felt
the added compression around the calves and
ankles also aided proprioception and even
improved balance. It was also hoped that
improving venous blood flow, and adding calf
muscle compression, would result in increased
endurance, more efficient muscle firing, and
faster running times.
