What Compression Level Is Right for You?

Compression levels are measured in mmHg (millimeters of Mercury), and different levels serve different needs. Here’s how to find what fits:

• Wide calf compression socks 15-20 mmHg: Great for daily wear, these provide moderate support for tired, achy legs, minor swelling, and all-day comfort.

• Firm compression (20-30 mmHg): A stronger level often used for varicose veins, pregnancy swelling, or post-exercise recovery.

If you're unsure about compression levels, begin with moderate or talk to your doctor. Our large calf compression socks apply pressure where it's needed most to improve blood flow comfortably.
