A Stocking for Every Body

Compression Socks

When it comes to socks, most are one size fits all. However, when it comes to compression socks, stockings, and leggings, sizing is very important. Everyone's body is different and that is what makes us unique! If you are wearing a size that is too big for you, the sock will be too loose, could possibly fall down, and won’t provide accurate compression where it is needed. On the other hand, if the sock is too small, this could cause circulation loss. 

When trying to find out what size will fit you best, it is important that you get accurate measurements in the morning before swelling has the chance to occur. You can reference the size chart on the product page for exactly where to measure and correlate your measurements to the correct size. It is important to note that different brands have different sizing, so be sure to consult the size chart for each product. Once you have your measurements, use our Size Machine to see the garments that will fit you best.

There are many different sizing options including wide calf, large foot, plus size, and maternity. Now you may be asking, “How do I know if I need a wide calf size?” A calf circumference of greater than 16” is generally considered a wide calf.

We have compiled a list of the best compression socks for a variety of characteristics including wide calf, large foot, and maternity. Check them out below!
