Frequently Asked Questions

Compression socks gently squeeze your legs to improve circulation, reduce swelling, and support muscle recovery. They're commonly used for travel, pregnancy, long days on your feet, or recovery after workouts.

What is graduated compression?

Graduated compression means the pressure is strongest at the ankle and gradually decreases toward the knee. This promotes better circulation and reduces swelling and fatigue throughout the day.

How to put on Compression Socks

Compression socks are snug by design, so they can be a little tricky to put on—especially the first time. But with the right technique, it gets easier.

Here’s how to do it:

Reach inside the sock and pinch the heel.
Turn the sock inside out up to the heel pocket.
Slide your foot in, making sure your heel is in place.
Pull the rest of the sock up your leg, smoothing out wrinkles as you go.

💡Tip: It's easier to put them on when your legs are dry and you’re sitting down. If needed, try using a sock aid for extra grip.
