What if I'm in between sizes?

Size down for a tighter feel, or up for more comfort—especially if you're new to compression. You can also email with any questions or concerns regarding sizing.

Do Comrad socks fit wide calves?

Yes! We make wide calf sizes in many of our knee-high styles. If your calf circumference is over 17", measured at the widest part of your calf, we recommend choosing one of our wide-calf-friendly options for the best fit and feel.

Why do some of my socks feel tighter than others?

Several factors can affect how tight a pair of socks feels, even if they're the same size and compression level:

  • Compression Level: Our Knee-High Socks come in both 15–20 mmHg (moderate) and 20–30 mmHg (firm) compression. Higher compression will naturally feel tighter.
  • Fabric & Knit: Different materials (like cotton vs. nylon) and knit constructions can affect stretch and snugness.
  • Wear & Wash History: Over time, compression socks may stretch slightly with wear—or feel tighter right after washing and air-drying.

    My first pair

    This is my first pair of compression socks ever—so while I have nothing to compare to, I have to say my calves, ankles and feet are happier than they were a few days ago. My decision to make this first purchase from Comrad was based on a blog article I read which compared their compression socks to Bombas. I may or may not try theirs to make a comparison of my own— but if I don’t bother, and just buy more Comrad socks, I’m sure my feet, ankles and calves won’t be upset.

    True crew sock compression…perfect for my needs.

    I was SOO delighted with the benefits I got from wearing these socks, that I immediately ordered 5 more pair of the available comrad crew socks in small. That order was very disappointing, as these socks were not compression socks in any way. I must say returning them was quite simple, but apparently comrad is no longer offering the original compression crew socks that so won me over. Sad.

    Much better than other brands. My husband wears them everyday. He loves them when he golfs.
