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 work as a hostess so I stand still for parts of my shift. I also walk 30 minutes to work. On my way back, my plantar fasciitis would be flared up and I'd feel so dead. Wearing the socks for my shift has changed that completely! I don't have the pain in my legs and I have more energy to do things after work.
Only complaint is for Dr. Socko to please restock. I gotta buy more pairs!
