Graduated Compression Socks

The details

Graduated Compression Socks

“Compression” on a hangtag means nothing on its own. Graduated compression means something specific and measurable: a stated pressure at the ankle that steps down as the garment travels up the calf, so the knit works with the leg rather than gripping it in one place.

Our everyday class sits at 15–20 mmHg — the support range most people on their feet actually want — and every pair carries the class on the packaging and the spec sheet, with the measuring point named. If a supplier will not tell you where the number was measured, the number is decoration.

The knit does the work: a high-elastane circular knit that holds its profile through a shift, a flat cuff that stays put without cutting a ridge below the knee, and a toe and heel built to sit where they were designed to sit rather than migrating by lunchtime.

Retailers, clinics, employers and brands who would rather sell a stated class than a vague promise.
