What are the benefits of compression socks?
If you spend long hours on your feet, gravity makes it harder for blood to flow back up to the heart, causing blood to pool in your lower legs. This can lead to swelling, pain, and fatigue, and over time, it may result in more serious issues like varicose veins as your veins struggle to pump blood back up.
Compression socks provide targeted support by applying gentle pressure to your legs, improving circulation and helping blood return to your heart. This reduces swelling, prevents varicose veins, and keeps your legs feeling energized and comfortable throughout the day—especially during long shifts.
What is the sock compression level?
The socks provide a 10-15 mmHg compression, offering gentle, gradual pressure to reduce swelling and improve circulation, perfect for all-day wear without feeling too tight.
Is the compression gradual?
Yes, the compression is gradual, providing gentle pressure that’s evenly distributed along the leg, designed to improve circulation without creating tight spots or discomfort. It’s not localized to any specific area, ensuring a comfortable fit.
What is the sock fiber content?
Our socks are a blend of 70% bamboo for softness and breathability, 16% cotton for comfort, with polyester, spandex, and Lycra for moisture-wicking and stretch, ensuring a comfortable, flexible fit.
Do you offer compression socks with grips?
We don’t currently offer compression socks with grips because we wanted to focus on creating the best compression socks first. Our priority is ensuring maximum comfort, fit, and effectiveness for reducing swelling and improving circulation. We’re always exploring new ideas and may consider adding grips in the future based on feedback!

I like the socks. However, I wish they came in sizes for people with larger calves/longer legs. They do not cover the length of my calf. The socks are warm and comfy. A little more compression would be nice as well.

I wanted a cool looking compression Stocking and not the old looking granny kind of Ted’s and these are the ones.They help keep My BP in check bc I run low. I showed a few of the elders I take care of my new compression Stockings, guess what they are getting for Christmas from me lol. One suggestion, Can you make more in other colors like plain Red or black or white without words so I can wear them with other outfits? As knee highs with skirts?

I’m on my feet for long hours, and it’s non stop back and forth with patients. Everyone knows how their legs feel after a long shift. Dr. Socko keeps my legs from giving out. Cushion on bottom is a plus

I love these! At first glance, they look thick and unbreathable- BUT THEY ARE! Slipping these on defied all my expectations. They are super breathable, comfortable, AND my feet didn't hurt after a long day working on the floor.
I normally work as a recreational coordinator for those with profound disabilities, but I do get pulled to the floor on occasion when staffing doesn't meet ratio. I wore my pair of Chelsea Vessi's- probably not the best shoes to wear when working on the floor as a CNA. The compression socks is what kept me up and moving. They aren't too tight- which was always my problem in the past. Previous brands I tried were too tight and my legs often began to itch halfway through my shift due to lack of breathability.
