MEDICAL GRADE: 20-30mmHG
Medical-grade compression socks are designed to provide graduated compression—meaning the pressure is strongest at the ankle and gradually decreases up the leg. This helps support healthy blood flow and prevents blood from pooling in the lower legs.
They are commonly recommended for:
• Chronic venous insufficiency or varicose veins
• Swelling (edema) in the legs or feet
• Post-surgical recovery
• Prolonged sitting or standing
• Pregnancy-related circulation issues
• DVT (deep vein thrombosis) prevention, especially during travel
Medical-grade compression socks should be properly fitted, and we are happy to help guide you to the right option for you.
PERFORMANCE GRADE: 15-22mmHG
Performance-grade compression socks are tailored for active individuals, athletes, and anyone on their feet for long periods.
They are commonly recommended for:
• Increasing circulation
• Reducing muscle fatigue with activity
• Support quicker recovery after workouts
• Minimize muscle vibration and soreness
• Prevent swelling during long periods of motion (or lack of motion)
Unlike medical-grade socks, performance socks are typically lighter and more breathable while still offering effective support. They’re ideal for running, hiking, long shifts at work, or everyday active lifestyles.
