How do you choose women's compression socks?
Pick the level
Choose 15-20 mmHg for daily wear, standing shifts and travel. Choose 20-30 mmHg for firmer support. Ask a health care professional which level suits you, especially if you have a health condition.
Measure your legs
Measure the ankle, the widest part of the calf and the leg length in cm (in). Measure in the morning, before swelling builds, and match the numbers to the size chart on the product page.
Pick the length
Knee high socks suit most people. They cover about 30 to 40 cm (12 to 16 in) of the leg. Choose thigh high for the whole leg, or pantyhose for one smooth layer.
Match fabric to the season
Sheer knits suit dresses and offices. Cotton, linen and microfiber breathe in warm weather. Merino wool compression socks keep feet comfortable in cold Canadian months. Opaque styles hide the knit under pants.
Check the toe and top
Closed toe gives full foot coverage. Open toe fits sandals and suits some feet better. A grip top helps the sock stay in place without rolling down during a long day.
Where do women's compression socks work best?
Long days on your feet suit compression well. Nurses, teachers, retail staff and hairstylists often choose 15-20 mmHg knee high compression socks for shifts. The graduated fit is designed to support the legs. Cushioned cotton styles suit hours of walking.
Travel is another common use. A long flight or drive means hours of sitting, and a light compression sock helps with leg comfort. Compression socks for travel are easy to pack, and the Traveno style is made for that purpose. Pair them with roomy shoes.
Expecting women can look at the maternity pantyhose, which is designed for the extra room needed. Dress wear calls for sheer thigh high compression stockings or pantyhose. The wider compression wear collection covers more garments for other needs.
How do you put on and care for compression socks?
Compression socks go on easiest in the morning. Turn the sock inside out to the heel and slide the foot in. Roll it up the leg and smooth out wrinkles. Wash gently by hand or on a delicate cycle, then air dry. Follow the care label on each product page.
Please note: Compression socks are not a substitute for medical advice. Ask a health care professional before using them with diabetes, poor circulation or sudden leg pain and swelling.

Compression sock FAQs
How many hours a day should you wear compression stockings?
Many people wear compression stockings during waking hours and take them off at night. The right schedule depends on your needs. Ask a health care professional how long to wear them, especially when starting a new level.
Should I get 15-20 or 20-30 mmHg compression socks?
Choose 15-20 mmHg for daily wear, standing shifts and travel. Choose 20-30 mmHg when you want firmer support. A health care professional can advise on the right level. The level is listed in every product name.
What is the downside of wearing compression socks?
A wrong size or level can feel tight, itchy or uncomfortable. Measuring your ankle, calf and leg length helps avoid this. Stop wearing a pair and speak with a health care professional if you notice pain, numbness or skin changes.
What size compression socks do I need?
Size depends on your ankle, calf and leg length. Measure in cm (in) in the morning, then compare the numbers with the size chart on the product page. Women's plus size compression socks and wide calf styles exist for a fuller fit.
Are open toe or closed toe compression socks better?
Neither is better for everyone. Closed toe covers the whole foot and is the most common style. Open toe suits sandals and people who prefer free toes. Both come in knee high, thigh high and pantyhose cuts.
What are the best compression socks for travel?
A knee high sock in 15-20 mmHg is a popular choice for travel. Look for a breathable knit and a top that stays up without digging in. Pack a spare pair and wear roomy shoes on the plane.
