FAQs
What is the mmHg compression level of these socks?
These socks provide 20-30mmHg graduated compression, which is considered a medium to firm level of support.
Who should wear these compression socks?
They are beneficial for adults experiencing swelling, pain, or poor circulation due to conditions like varicose veins, restless leg syndrome, neuropathy, travel, pregnancy, or post-surgery recovery.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the specific sizing chart provided by BraceAbility, which typically includes measurements for ankle and calf circumference, as well as leg length.
Can I wear these socks every day?
Yes, these socks are designed for all-day wear and are suitable for daily activities, provided they fit comfortably and do not cause irritation.
Are these socks suitable for travel?
Absolutely. They are highly recommended for travel, especially long flights or car rides, to help improve circulation and reduce the risk of leg swelling and DVT.
Can I wear these under my regular socks?
It is generally recommended to wear compression socks as the primary layer against the skin for optimal performance. Wearing them under regular socks may affect the compression level and comfort.

Troubleshooting
Socks feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the product's sizing chart. If the discomfort persists, consider a less compressive level or consult with a healthcare professional.
Socks slipping down the leg
Verify that the size is correct and that the leg area is clean and dry before putting them on. Ensure the top band is positioned correctly below the knee.
Reduced compression over time
Follow the recommended washing and drying instructions carefully. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, and high heat, which can degrade the elastic fibers.
Skin irritation or rash
Ensure the socks are clean and that your skin is dry before wearing. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider. Check for any sensitivities to the fabric material.
