8-15 mmHg & 15-20 mmHg (Preventive & Mild)— Best for:

• Prevention: If you have no symptoms but want to protect your legs, 8-15 mmHg or 15-20 mmHg may be suitable depending on your age, muscle condition, and activity level
• Short-term use during running, walking, or hiking
• Long flights or long-distance car rides
• Everyday wear and travel
• Heavy, tired legs
• Leg fatigue and achiness at the end of the workday
• Prolonged standing or sitting

20-30 mmHg (Moderate) — Best for:

• Mild to moderate ankle and leg swelling (edema)
• Calf pain and soreness
• Nighttime leg cramps
• Varicose veins
• Post-surgery recovery

30-40 mmHg (Firm) — By doctor's prescription only — Indicated for:

• Severe chronic venous insufficiency
• Skin thickening (lipodermatosclerosis)
• Hard, non-pitting edema (swelling that doesn't indent when pressed)
• Skin discoloration due to venous disease
• Bulging, knotted varicose veins

If you have a medical condition or are unsure which level to choose, we recommend consulting your doctor or contacting us for personalized guidance.

Measure your ankle circumference (narrowest part above the ankle bone) and calf circumference (widest part). All measurements should fall within the same size on our size chart.

For thigh-high socks, also measure your thigh circumference (widest part of the thigh).

Important: Also measure your leg length — from heel to knee (for knee-high socks) or from heel to upper thigh (for thigh-high socks).

If you have larger calves, larger thighs, or an unusual leg length (short or long), accurate measurements are especially important to ensure the right fit and proper compression.

Knee-high socks are the most common choice and work well for most people:

• Venous insufficiency typically starts in the lower leg and progresses upward — if symptoms are below the knee, knee-high socks are sufficient for treatment
• For prevention, knee-high is the go-to option since the calf muscle is responsible for up to 80% of the pumping power that returns blood to the heart
• Keeping your calves, ankles, and feet active and well-supported improves circulation, prevents blood pooling, reduces cramps and nighttime leg pain, and keeps your joints moving through their full range of motion — you'll feel lighter, more energetic, and sleep better!

Thigh-high socks or pantyhose are recommended when:

• Venous disease has progressed above the knee to the thigh
• Your doctor specifically recommends it
• You prefer them for fashion or comfort reasons — that's perfectly fine too!

When in doubt, consult your doctor for personalized advice. And remember — the best compression sock is the one you'll actually wear consistently! 😊

Both work equally well for compression — it's really a matter of personal preference and lifestyle!

Closed-toe:

• Available in many stylish designs, patterns, and colors — they look just like regular socks
• Great for wearing to work or in professional settings as an everyday replacement for regular socks

Open-toe:

• Easier to put on and take off
• Can be worn with sandals or open-toe shoes
• If you want to wear them with closed shoes, simply put a regular sock over them — this doesn't affect the compression at all, since regular socks have no pressure
• A popular choice in warm climates where sandals are common
• Many people prefer open-toe for the cooler feel and better grip when wearing sandals

Bottom line: choose whichever style fits your daily routine and makes you more likely to wear them consistently — that's the best pair for you! 😊

Yes! Our compression socks are designed for all-day comfort. We recommend putting them on in the morning before swelling starts, and removing them before bed.

The general principle:

• Wear them when standing or sitting — in these positions, your legs are below your heart, making it harder for blood to circulate back up. Compression socks help support that circulation.
• Remove them when lying down to rest — when your legs are at the same level as your heart, your circulation works naturally without assistance.

That said, you don't have to wait until bedtime to take them off — feel free to remove them when you get home from work or whenever it feels right for you. The goal is to make compression socks fit naturally into your lifestyle, not the other way around. Do whatever feels most comfortable! 😊

Yes, and we encourage it! Moving your legs helps pump blood back to the heart more effectively, working together with your compression socks for the best results.

Simple exercises you can do anytime, anywhere:

• Ankle rotations — rotate your ankles in full circles, as wide as possible
• Heel raises — rise up on your toes as high as you can, then lower back down slowly

Repeat each movement about 20 times per set, and do multiple sets throughout the day — you can do these while sitting at your desk or standing at work without interrupting your workflow.

You'll know you're doing it right when you feel your calf muscles engaging! That muscle activity is exactly what pumps blood back up to your heart.

Bonus tip: Whenever possible, elevate your legs by resting them on a chair or footrest — this gives your circulation an extra boost and helps reduce swelling even faster. 😊

Yes! Washing your compression socks daily keeps them hygienic and actually helps restore their elasticity — so they deliver the right amount of compression again the next day.

Washing:

• Hand wash or machine wash in cold water
• Avoid hot water — it breaks down the elastic fibers and shortens the life of your socks
• Do not use bleach (chlorine/javel) or detergents with strong whitening agents

Drying:

• Air dry in a cool, well-ventilated area
• Do not tumble dry, use a dryer, or a hair dryer
• Do not hold over heat, use an iron, or dry in direct sunlight — heat causes the elastic to stretch out and lose compression faster

Pro tip: If possible, buy 2 pairs and alternate them daily — one to wear, one to wash and dry. That said, one pair works just fine too, especially in warm climates where socks dry quickly overnight. 😊

Taking good care of your compression socks will keep them effective longer and protect your investment!
