15-20 mmHg compression socks for everyday leg support
Valuhub's 15-20 mmHg compression socks collection offers knee-high socks, thigh-high stockings and pantyhose for gentle support all day. Most pairs are closed toe, and a few are open toe. Styles run from sheer fashion socks to opaque, cotton, linen and merino wool pairs, plus sport and travel options.

15-20 mmHg compression socks at a glance
Types of compression socks in the 15-20 mmHg range
The 15-20 mmHg collection has four main types. Each type gives the same pressure, so your choice comes down to leg coverage, toe style and fabric.
Knee-high compression socks
15-20 mmHg knee high compression socks are the largest group in this range. They cover the foot, ankle and calf, and most are closed toe. Styles include opaque, sheer fashion, cotton, linen and merino wool pairs for men and women. Browse the full knee high compression socks collection for more.
Thigh-high compression stockings
15-20 mmHg thigh high compression stockings reach the top of the thigh. They suit people who want support above the knee. Pairs come in closed toe and open toe, sheer and opaque, plus a JOBST style with a sensitive band. See all thigh high compression stockings.
Compression pantyhose
15-20 mmHg pantyhose combine leg compression with a waist-high fit. This range has a sheer fashion style and a soft opaque style, both for women and both closed toe. Pantyhose suit anyone who wants one garment for the whole leg under a dress or trousers. Find more in compression pantyhose.
Sport and travel socks
Sport and travel pairs add features for active days. The range includes athletic recovery, merino outdoor and travel styles, mostly knee high and mostly for men. Travel socks are designed to help with leg comfort on long flights and drives. Browse sport compression socks for more.

How do you choose 15-20 mmHg compression socks?
Start with the right level
Mild compression socks at 15-20 mmHg are a common starting point for tired legs, travel and long days standing. Pick this level for comfort rather than strong medical support. If swelling is new or painful, talk to a doctor or pharmacist first.
Pick the length
Knee high covers the ankle and calf. Choose thigh high or pantyhose only if you want support above the knee. Many first-time wearers start with knee-high socks because they are the easiest pair to put on and take off.
Measure your ankle and calf
Measure the narrowest part of your ankle and the widest part of your calf with a soft tape. Record both in cm and inches, ideally in the morning before swelling builds. Compare the numbers with the size chart, not your shoe size.
Match the toe, fabric and finish
Open toe suits sandals or sensitive toes. Sheer styles work under office wear, and opaque socks give more coverage. Cotton, linen and merino wool feel different, so think about the season and the shoes you wear.
Compare the two common levels
Comparing 15-20 vs 20-30 mmHg compression socks comes down to how much support you need. Firmer 20-30 mmHg pairs are a step up and are usually chosen on a clinician's advice. A higher number is not automatically better.
Where do 15-20 mmHg compression socks work best?
Compression socks 15-20 mmHg suit work days spent standing or sitting. Nurses, retail staff, teachers and office workers often wear knee-high pairs for leg comfort by evening. Choose a closed toe pair in an opaque or cotton finish for daily wear with closed shoes. Browse women's compression socks and men's compression socks for your fit.
Travel is another common use for this level. On a long flight or drive, these socks are designed to help with leg comfort. Put knee-high socks on before you leave, and walk around when you can. Recovery and sport pairs also use this level.
Sigvaris compression socks 15-20 mmHg make up most of this collection, with JOBST pairs alongside. Shop the Sigvaris range or the JOBST range if you already know your brand. Toe style matters too, so see closed toe compression socks and open toe compression socks.
How do you put on and care for compression socks?
Compression socks go on best in the morning, when legs are least swollen. Turn the sock inside out to the heel and slide your foot in. Then ease the fabric up the leg without bunching. Wash the pair as its care label says, and let it dry away from direct heat. Replace a pair when it stretches out or no longer feels snug.
Compression socks are not a substitute for medical advice. Ask a doctor or pharmacist about any health concern before you rely on them.

15-20 mmHg compression FAQs
What does 15-20 mmHg mean on compression socks?
The number shows how much pressure the sock applies, measured in millimetres of mercury. A 15-20 mmHg sock is graduated, so it presses most at the ankle and eases up the calf. This is a mild to moderate level, often chosen for tired legs, travel and long days on your feet.
Should I get 15-20 or 20-30 mmHg compression socks?
Choose 15-20 mmHg for everyday comfort, travel and mild leg tiredness. Choose 20-30 mmHg when a doctor or pharmacist recommends firmer support, for example for noticeable swelling. A higher number is not always better. Firmer socks are harder to put on and may not suit everyone.
Who are 15-20 mmHg compression stockings best for?
15-20 mmHg compression stockings and socks suit people who stand, sit or travel a lot. They also give gentle support for tired legs. Anyone with new or worsening swelling, or a vein or circulation condition, should check with a doctor first.
How many hours a day should you wear compression socks?
Many people put compression socks on in the morning and take them off at bedtime. Wearing time depends on your needs. Follow the advice from your doctor or pharmacist and the care label. Stop wearing a pair and ask for advice if it causes pain or numbness.
How do you measure for knee-high compression socks?
Measure the narrowest part of your ankle and the widest part of your calf with a soft tape. Record both in cm and inches, and measure each leg. Compare the numbers with the size chart for the sock you want. If you fall between sizes, ask a pharmacist for advice.
Can you buy 15-20 mmHg compression socks without a prescription?
Many 15-20 mmHg styles are sold for everyday use, and shoppers often buy them without a prescription. A doctor or pharmacist can confirm the right level for vein problems or new swelling.
What should you avoid when wearing compression socks?
Do not fold or roll the top band, because it can dig in. Do not wear a pair that is too small, twisted or worn out. Take the socks off and speak to a doctor if you notice numbness, colour changes, pain or skin irritation.
