Compression Levels Explained
Compression levels indicate how much pressure the socks apply to your legs and feet, measured in mmHg (millimeters of mercury). Compression socks are designed to support circulation with the highest pressure at the ankle, gradually decreasing upward.
Provides gentle compression, suitable for everyday wear, mild swelling, and general leg discomfort.
Offers moderate compression, often recommended for tired and achy legs, travel support, and helping reduce the risk of discomfort during long periods of sitting or standing.
Provides firm compression, suitable for more noticeable swelling, varicose veins, and managing symptoms of venous insufficiency.
Offers the highest level of compression, typically used for more advanced medical needs such as lymphedema, severe varicose veins, and post-surgery recovery.
