About OS1st

OS1st makes performance socks and compression bracing for people who want to stay active without foot or leg pain. The brand began in Hickory, North Carolina, a historic centre of American hosiery innovation. Founder Dave Higgins spent decades leading and consulting for sock and textile manufacturers. When his wife developed severe plantar fasciitis, he created the FS6 Performance Foot Sleeve, a targeted compression product that supports the plantar fascia and spreads pressure across the foot. Its Compression Zone Technology applies specific levels of compression to targeted areas of the foot and lower leg, rather than squeezing the whole limb equally. Customers range from runners and athletes to healthcare professionals.
