Everything you
need to know
about what
compression
socks do and
how they work.
Essentially, compression socks and compression
stockings are clinically proven, snug-fitting socks
designed to gently put a specific level of pressure on
your legs. This pressure improves circulation,
which allows you to feel more energized while minimizing
the chance of varicose veins, blood clots, inflammation,
swelling, and general discomfort. We mean it when we
say these are Socks with Benefits.
What do compression socks do?
So what does all this mean? You'll get healthier circulation from changing your socks. Healthy blood flow throughout our bodies is essential to survival and well-being.

True Graduated Compression
This is the most effective form of
compression, offering a medically designed
gradient-level of support. True Graduated
compression or pressure stockings work by
creating precise amounts of pressure at
different parts of your legs & feet for optimal
circulation. Typically tighter at the ankles and
looser, going up the legs to help blood flow
freely instead of pooling.
