What are compression socks?

Compression socks are specially designed socks that apply gentle pressure to your legs and ankles to improve blood flow. They help reduce swelling, prevent blood clots, & alleviate symptoms of varicose veins, leg fatigue, & other circulatory issues.

Why are my compression socks painful to wear?

Compression socks shouldn’t cause pain. Discomfort may indicate they’re too tight or overly compressive.

Why do my compression socks slide down?

If your socks slip, they may be too large or have lost their elasticity over time. As swelling reduces, a smaller size may be needed.

Why can’t I put on my compression socks?

If the socks won’t go over your foot, they may be too small. Verify the size on the label and remeasure your legs to ensure you’re using the right fit.

How long should I wear compression socks each day?

Most people can wear compression socks all day but should remove them before bed unless recommended by a healthcare provider. It's best to put them on in the morning when swelling is minimal.
