- What does 15-20 mmHg compression feel like?
- It is a moderate, graduated squeeze at the base of the foot, firmer than a standard athletic sock but milder than medical compression. Most people notice it most in the arch and around the ankle.
- How do I pick the right size?
- Match your shoe size to the chart: S covers US women 5-7, M covers 7.5-9.5, L covers 10-13.5 and XL covers 14-15.5. If you are between sizes, size up for a less tight fit.
- Are these good for running?
- Yes. The cushioning and arch compression suit daily training and long runs. For hot races or minimal-feel shoes, a thinner sock will be cooler and less bulky.
- Can I wear them all day?
- They work well for standing or walking all day thanks to the arch support and padding. The crew height and moderate squeeze make them a reasonable everyday sock too.
- How should I wash them?
- Machine wash cold and tumble dry low to protect the elastane and keep the compression from loosening. Avoid fabric softener and high heat.
