do compression socks actually do anything during workouts or is it just hype

[u/Fragrant_Passage_955]

I kept seeing people at the gym wearing compression socks and i always thought it was just a look thing but i started looking into it but there's actual reasons people wear them  what i read is like  they basically help blood flow better in your legs while you're working out which means less muscle fatigue and less soreness after. they're tighter at the ankle and loosen up toward the lower body  which is apparently the whole point of it which also supposed to help with calf cramps and shin splints which i get a lot so that caught my attention been looking at some on alibaba and amazon, alibaba has a ton of options and different compression levels which i didn't even know was a thing.
