Think of how you water your plants with a hose. You press the hose so that the speed of water increases. Similarly the socks compress the veins. This assists veins and improves circulation. Added support to muscles is another advantage.

If you are asking in terms of exercises, majorly it is used for support and improving circulation.

Joggers and marathon runners use it as constant thumping of foot forces the blood to pool near the foot so the heart has to work extra to get the blood flowing. Wearing these help the heart to get it flowing in lesser force.
