Compression socks

Compression socks for circulation and all-day energy

Graduated compression socks provide relief for swollen legs, pregnancy, long flights, sports recovery, and other circulation problems. The pressure is highest at the ankle and decreases upwards, which promotes venous return and reduces the feeling of heaviness. Choose socks in the right compression class and with a clear pressure indication in mmHg. Class 1 usually corresponds to 15 to 21 mmHg and is suitable for mild complaints, travel, and during pregnancy. Class 2 is often 23 to 32 mmHg and is recommended for more pronounced symptoms after advice from healthcare. For the best effect, the right size is needed. Measure the narrowest circumference of the ankle and the widest part of the calf, preferably in the morning when the swelling is the least. A proper fit makes a noticeable difference at work, during travel, and after exercise.

Who needs compression socks and when?

During a sedentary flight, long work shifts, standing, or during pregnancy, compression class 1 can provide comfortable relief and lighter legs. Athletes like to use compression between workouts for faster recovery and less swelling. For more persistent problems, class 2 is often chosen after assessment by healthcare professionals. Modify the material according to the season and activity: cotton for everyday wear, merino wool when it's cold, and nylon for a thinner, more flexible alternative. If discreet support is desired at the office, compression in the form of everyday socks can be a good choice. Put on the socks immediately in the morning, check that the heel and toe are positioned correctly, and smooth out any folds to avoid pressure points.
