Choosing The Right Pair

How do I find my size?

For all over-the-calf (knee-high) socks and calf sleeves, your size is based primarily on your calf measurement around its widest point. Use shoe size as your secondary reference point.

If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up unless you want a tighter fit, in which case, size down.

For crew length and ankle socks, your size is based on your shoe size only.

How will compression socks help me?

Compression socks increase blood circulation which helps to rebuild broken down soft tissue. There are many benefits to wearing compression socks, including:

  • Reducing swelling, muscle aches and soreness in the legs and feet
  • Helps you feel more energized
  • Reduces your overall recovery time after exercise or being up on your feet for extended periods of time

Compression socks can help you perform better, whether you're out training or at work, and can help improve your recovery at the end of the day. This article gives a great in-depth explanation of all the benefits of wearing compression socks.

How do I know what compression level to order?

We always recommend that you consult with your doctor before trying compression stockings. They may be able to recommend a specific level of compression for you.

Many new compression stocking users start with our best-selling knee-high compression stockings. These stockings provide medium compression with a compression level of 20-30 mmHg.

We have a style with a higher compression level than the knee-high compression stockings, as well as a style with a lower compression level.

How do I put my socks on?

Compression socks are designed to fit more snugly than regular socks. They can be a little difficult to put on, but we have an article on how to best care for your compression socks.

Important: Pulling too hard on the socks may damage them. Please follow the instructions.

Note: All of our socks have an underlying compression thread in either black or white. It is normal for this material to become more noticeable as the socks are stretched.

Do you offer wide calf sizing?

Yes! We offer a wide-calf size option for some of our Merinohouse knee-high socks and calf sleeves.
