15–20 mmHg

Tired legs at day's end, travel, pregnancy, or long stretches standing or sitting.
20–30 mmHg
Moderate
Noticeable swelling, varicose veins, or recovery. The level Dr. Segal prescribes most often.

Frequently asked questions
Which compression level do I need?
For everyday tired or achy legs, 15–20 mmHg is a good start. For noticeable swelling, varicose veins, or long days on your feet, most people do best in 20–30 mmHg.
When should I put compression socks on?
First thing in the morning, before your legs have started to swell. That is when they are easiest to put on and most effective through the day.
Are they non-binding at the top?
Yes — they are designed with a comfortable, non-binding cuff that supports circulation without digging into your calf.
How do I choose my size?
Use our size chart or the free Virtual Sock Fitting. Graduated compression works best when the fit is right, so measure rather than guess.
Can I wear them every day?
Yes. Daily wear is exactly what they are designed for — and consistency is what makes the difference for circulation and comfort.
Does a thicker sock mean more compression?
No. Compression comes from how the sock is knit, and it's measured in mmHg, not thickness. A thick athletic sock can give almost no compression, while a thin sock can give 20–30 mmHg. Check the mmHg level on the label.
How should new compression socks feel?
Snug and firm: tightest at the ankle and easing off up the leg. Supportive, never painful. They can take a little practice to put on at first. They shouldn't pinch, roll down, bunch behind the knee, or cause numbness, tingling or color changes in your toes. If they do, take them off and check your size. Our free Virtual Sock Fitting can help.
Do I need a doctor to wear compression socks?
Not for most people. You don't need a prescription to buy 15–20 or 20–30 mmHg socks. Check with your healthcare provider first if you have a condition that affects your legs, such as poor blood flow to the legs (peripheral arterial disease), reduced feeling in your feet, or a history of blood clots. If you plan to pay with HSA/FSA funds, compression socks can qualify with a Letter of Medical Necessity from your provider.
