COMPRESSION GUIDE FEATURED

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM OUR SOCKS

Compression socks are measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) the same unit used to measure
blood pressure. The higher the number, the more pressure the sock applies. Here's a simple breakdown:

8–15 mmHg

Light support for everyday comfort, travel, and daily wear.

15–20 mmHg

Firmer support for long shifts and prolonged standing or sitting.

20–30 mmHg

Firmer compression for customers seeking stronger support. Ask a healthcare provider whether this level is right for you.


DIABETIC SOCKS GUIDE

WHAT ARE DIABETIC SOCKS?

Diabetic socks are designed with comfort-focused features such as non-binding tops, smooth seams, and breathable materials for sensitive feet.

WHO THEY ARE FOR?

Diabetic socks are made for people who prefer a soft, non-binding fit and smooth construction that helps reduce rubbing and pressure points.

WHAT MAKES THEM DIFFERENT

Graduated Compression

Compression is strongest at the ankle and gradually decreases up the leg for structured support.

Firm, Supportive Fit

A properly fitted compression sock should feel firm and supportive without feeling painful or restrictive.

Frequent Moisture Management

Performance fabrics help move moisture away from the skin to support dry, comfortable wear during long shifts or travel.

Reinforced Construction

Reinforced construction is designed to maintain its fit and shape through regular wear and washing.


COMPRESSION SOCKS GUIDE

WHAT ARE COMPRESSION SOCKS?

Compression socks apply graduated pressure that is strongest at the ankle and gradually decreases up the leg, providing structured support during standing, sitting, travel, or activity.

HOW DO THEY WORK?

Graduated compression provides firmer support at the ankle and gradually lighter support higher on the leg, making it suitable for long periods of standing or sitting.

WHAT MAKES THEM DIFFERENT

Graduated Pressure Tightest at the Ankle

Unlike regular socks, compression socks are designed to be firmer at the ankle and gradually lighter higher on the leg.

Structured Graduated Support

Compression socks provide structured support for long periods of sitting, standing, travel, or activity.

Support for Long Days

Designed to provide firm, consistent support around the ankles and lower legs during extended wear.

Designed for Activity and Recovery

A supportive option for training, travel, active routines, and post-workout wear.
