Who are they for?
Light compression socks suit people who spend long periods sitting or standing, travel regularly, or notice tired, achy or mildly swollen legs by the end of the day. If you have a diagnosed leg, circulation or skin condition, or need stronger compression, speak to your doctor, pharmacist or healthcare professional before using compression garments.
Size guide
Choose your size from your ankle and calf measurements. Shoe size alone is not a reliable guide. If you are between sizes, or your measurements fall in two sizes, check with a healthcare professional.
| Size | Ankle circumference (cB) | Calf circumference (cC) |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 18-21 cm | 28-38 cm |
| Medium | 20-24 cm | 30-42 cm |
| Large | 22-26 cm | 32-46 cm |
| Extra Large | 24-28 cm | 34-50 cm |
How to measure for knee-high compression socks
- Measure each leg separately, ideally first thing in the morning, because swelling usually increases through the day.
- Ankle (cB): wrap a soft tape measure around the narrowest part of the ankle.
- Calf (cC): wrap the tape around the widest part of the calf.
- Match both measurements to the size table above. If the two legs fall in different sizes, choose the size that fits the larger leg and speak to a healthcare professional if unsure.
How to put them on
- Turn the sock inside out down to the heel, then pull apart the folded foot section and pull it over your foot to the heel.
- Gradually pull the sock over the instep and heel.
- Pull the sock up the leg a little at a time, turning it right side out as you go.
- Smooth the sock evenly with both hands until it fits without creases. Rubber gloves make this easier.
Best worn in the morning, straight after getting up.
