Frequently Asked Questions

Who should wear firm compression socks?
Firm compression (20–30 mmHg) is recommended for those with significant leg swelling, varicose veins, chronic venous insufficiency, or post-surgical recovery needs. It’s also a strong choice for healthcare professionals who spend extended hours on their feet and need maximum circulatory support. Consult your healthcare provider if you have a specific medical condition.

What’s the difference between firm and moderate compression?
Moderate compression (15–20 mmHg) is ideal for everyday fatigue prevention and mild swelling. Firm compression (20–30 mmHg) provides stronger therapeutic benefit for more significant symptoms. If you’re new to compression therapy, starting with moderate and stepping up as needed is a common approach.
