What Is Compression Socks ?

Compression socks are made of specialised garments that improve circulation in the legs by applying graduated pressure from the ankle upward. They're used to reduce swelling, reduce discomfort, and are perfect for individuals who sit or stand for extended periods, athletes, travellers, and those with certain medical conditions like varicose veins or deep vein thrombosis.

Who is this for ?

  • Pregnant women who are prone to swelling in their legs, feet or ankles may want to wear compression stockings to reduce chances of swelling. Most pregnant women see the best results with compression socks when they put them on in the morning as a preventative measure, versus putting them on after they’ve developed swelling.

  • For someone who is confined to a wheelchair, compression socks can help improve blood flow and reduce swelling in the legs.

  • Airplane passengers or crew on long or frequent air flights may want to wear compression socks to help increase circulation and reduce their risk of developing deep vein thrombosis or blood clots.

  • For people on their feet all day at work, compression socks can help reduce fatigue, pain or swelling by increasing blood and oxygen flow in the legs and feet.

  • Athletes  wear compression socks  to help improve blood flow and oxygen delivery while they’re working out, practicing or during competition. Some athletes also wear compression wraps to help speed up their post-workout recovery.

  • Hikers
