- What are the benefits of wearing compression socks?
- Compression socks are designed to improve circulation, reduce swelling, and provide support to the legs. They can be particularly beneficial for those who stand or sit for prolonged periods, travellers, athletes, and individuals with specific medical conditions. Wearing them can help alleviate discomfort, reduce the risk of varicose veins, and even enhance athletic performance.
- How do I choose the right size for my compression socks?
- Getting the right fit is crucial for the effectiveness of compression socks. Refer to our comprehensive sizing guide which takes into account your calf circumference and shoe size. If you're between sizes, we recommend contacting our customer service for personalised advice.
- Can I wear compression socks every day?
- Yes, compression socks can be worn daily, especially if you experience regular leg fatigue or swelling. However, it's essential to choose the right compression level for daily wear. For everyday activities, a milder compression might be more comfortable. Always consult with a healthcare professional if you're unsure.
- How do I care for and maintain my compression socks?
- To ensure longevity and maintain compression levels, it's advisable to handwash your socks in cold water with mild detergent and air dry. Avoid using bleach, ironing, or tumble drying as these can degrade the material and reduce the sock's effectiveness.
- Is there a difference between compression socks for athletic activities and everyday wear?
- Yes, whilst the core function of improving circulation remains the same, athletic compression socks often provide additional support tailored for specific sports and have moisture-wicking properties. In contrast, everyday wear socks might focus more on comfort and can come in a wider range of aesthetic designs.
