Types of JOBST compression socks and stockings in this collection
The range falls into four groups, listed from the largest to the smallest. The table below compares them side by side.
Knee high compression socks
Knee high compression socks are the largest group, along with thigh highs. They end just below the knee and suit everyday wear, travel and sport. This range includes UltraSheer, Opaque, Sport and ActiveWear styles in 15-20 and 20-30 mmHg, all with a closed toe. For more choices, see knee high compression socks.
Thigh high compression stockings
JOBST compression stockings in thigh high length reach the upper leg for support above the knee. Styles here include Opaque and UltraSheer in 15-20 and 20-30 mmHg, plus an Opaque style with a sensitive band. One UltraSheer style has a lace band, an open toe and a petite fit.

Sport and ActiveWear socks
JOBST Sport compression socks and ActiveWear socks are knee high styles made for exercise and active days. They come in 15-20 and 20-30 mmHg with a closed toe. Pick these when you want compression for walking, running or time on your feet. See also sport compression socks.
Sheer and opaque finishes
JOBST UltraSheer styles have a light, sheer look that suits work clothes and dresses. Opaque styles have a thicker, solid look for everyday wear. Both finishes come in knee high and thigh high lengths. They also come in 15-20 and 20-30 mmHg, so you can match the look to your day.

How do you choose JOBST compression socks?
Pick the compression level
A 15-20 mmHg level gives lighter support for daily wear and travel. A 20-30 mmHg level is firmer. A doctor, nurse or pharmacist can help you pick the level that suits your needs.
Choose the length
Knee high socks cover the calf and ankle. Thigh high stockings add support above the knee. Choose the length that matches where you want support.
Decide on the toe style
A closed toe covers the whole foot and suits most shoes. An open toe leaves the toes free and can feel cooler. Most styles here are closed toe.
Match the finish to your day
Sheer styles suit work clothes. Opaque styles suit casual wear. Sport and ActiveWear socks suit exercise and long days on your feet.
Measure before you order
Measure your ankle, calf and thigh in cm and inches. Measure in the morning, before any swelling builds. Then compare your numbers with the size chart on the product page.
Where do compression socks work best?
Compression socks work best on days when you stand or sit for hours. Nurses, teachers and retail staff often wear knee high styles on long shifts. These socks are designed to help with tired, heavy legs by giving steady support.
Flights and long drives are another common use. Sitting still for hours can leave legs feeling heavy, and compression is designed to help with that. Browse more options in compression socks.
Active people choose Sport and ActiveWear styles for walking, running and gym days. Pair them with your usual shoes. For more recovery wear, see compression wear.
How do you put on and care for compression socks?
Put compression socks on in the morning, before your legs swell. Smooth out any wrinkles and keep the top band flat. Wash them in cool water on a gentle cycle, air dry them and avoid heat. Replace a pair when it loses its stretch. Talk with a doctor, nurse or pharmacist before wearing compression if you have diabetes or circulation concerns.

JOBST FAQs
What does mmHg mean on compression socks?
The mmHg number shows how much pressure the sock applies at the ankle. It stands for millimetres of mercury. A higher number means firmer compression. This range offers 15-20 mmHg and 20-30 mmHg.
Which is tighter, 15-20 or 20-30 mmHg?
A 20-30 mmHg sock is tighter than a 15-20 mmHg sock. The 15-20 level gives lighter support for daily wear and travel. Ask a doctor, nurse or pharmacist which level suits you.
Are knee high or thigh high compression socks better?
Neither is better for everyone. Knee high socks suit most people for daily wear. Thigh high stockings add support above the knee. Choose the length that covers the area where you want support.
Should I choose a closed toe or open toe?
Choose a closed toe for full foot coverage and an easy fit in most shoes. Choose an open toe if you prefer free toes or wear sandals. Most JOBST stockings and JOBST socks here have a closed toe.
How do I size JOBST compression socks?
JOBST sizes follow leg measurements, not shoe size. Measure your ankle and calf in the morning. Add your thigh for thigh highs. Compare the numbers with the size chart on the product page.
How often should I replace compression socks?
Replace compression socks when they feel loose or lose their stretch. Wearing and washing them often wears out the fibres. Rotating two or three pairs helps each pair last longer.
Can I wear compression socks all day?
Many people wear compression socks during the day and take them off at night. Follow the advice of your doctor, nurse or pharmacist. Stop wearing them and ask for advice if they cause pain or numbness.
