COMPRESSION SOCK FITTING

Compression Socks: Support from the Ground Up

Whether you’re on your feet all day, traveling, managing a health condition, or recovering from exercise, compression socks can make a real difference in how your legs feel and function. But to get the full benefits, proper fit is essential.

 

What Are Compression Socks?

Compression socks are specially designed hosiery that apply graduated pressure to your legs, helping improve blood flow, reduce swelling, and prevent venous issues such as:

 

• Varicose veins

• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)

• Leg fatigue and soreness

• Swelling from standing or sitting for long periods

• Post-surgical recovery

• Lymphedema

 

They are available in various lengths, compression levels, and materials to suit your unique needs.

 

The Importance of Proper Fit

Ill-fitting compression socks may:

 

• Be too tight, causing discomfort, numbness, or skin damage

• Be too loose, providing no therapeutic benefit

• Slide down or bunch up, creating pressure points

• Fail to apply correct graduated compression, especially around the ankle and calf

 

A properly fitted compression sock will:

​

• Match your leg measurements (ankle, calf, and sometimes thigh)

• Deliver graduated pressure, typically strongest at the ankle

• Feel snug but not restrictive

• Stay in place throughout the day without rolling or slipping
