Compression socks are not merely a passing trend or an ordinary medical device. These scientifically designed socks provide graduated compression to the legs, offering relief to long-distance travelers, alleviation of leg discomfort for pregnant women, structure to athletes working out and support to workers on their feet for hours a day.

Compression socks are available in a variety of compression levels, ranging from mild to extra firm. The required level of compression depends on individual needs and preferences. Consulting a healthcare provider (e.g. physician or nurse practitioner) is highly recommended to determine which level of compression is best for you. Generally, a compression level of 20-30 mmHg is suitable for most people wanting to get better support for their legs.

Differences between socks are common and arise from various factors. Socks of the same size may appear to differ in length when placed side by side, influenced by variations in yarn patterns, types, colors, or yarn direction. The crucial point is that when worn, the socks will conform to their intended fit.

Another variation is that some socks may feel tighter/looser than others, which can also be attributed to these yarn differences. Rest assured, each sock undergoes testing and certification to ensure it falls within specified compression ranges.

In both cases, after several washes and wears, our socks typically settle into their final shape, fit, and feel.
