Compression Socks | For Swelling, Pain & Chronic Conditions

Suitable for everyday use and chronic conditions, our compression socks offer pain relief, promote circulation and reduce swelling and fatigue in your legs, ankles and feet. We have a range of compression socks available and most are ideal for nurses, athletes, pregnant women, patients recovering from surgery, or anyone after a versatile and effective solution to enhance their comfort.

Our Australian compression socks can also reduce pain caused by arthritis and plantar fasciitis, and the risk of edema, varicose veins, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This makes them a proactive choice for travellers or those who sit for prolonged periods. Our range includes a variety of styles, materials, sizes and colours, from calf-length and open-toe compression socks to those that offer foot and ankle support.

Benefits of compression socks Australia

A compression sock can offer a wide range of advantages beyond just relieving fatigue, discomfort, and pain. It can also:

Improve circulation: A major function of compression socks is to increase blood flow in the feet and legs. By applying gentle pressure to muscles, veins and arteries, they help facilitate upward blood circulation, and reduce the risk of blood clots.

Prevent vein issues: Varicose and spider veins are common conditions characterised by the enlargement and twisting of superficial veins, often resulting in pain, swelling, and cosmetic concerns. Our medical compression socks apply consistent pressure on the vein areas, aiding in their narrowing, and preventing the development or worsening vein conditions.

Reduce the risk of DVT: Deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot that occurs in a deep vein, most often in your leg. Symptoms include pain and swelling of your thigh or calf. DVT can be caused by having an injury such as a bone fracture, or even just sitting still for a long time, such as during a long-haul flight.

Improve performance: Athletes and fitness enthusiasts often turn to compression socks to improve performance and accelerate recovery. The graduated compression provided by these types of socks helps minimise muscle vibration during physical activity, leading to less muscle fatigue, improved endurance, and a reduction in lactic acid.

Relieve edema: Edema is the abnormal accumulation of fluid in the body's tissues, and is commonly seen as swelling in the legs and feet. Compression socks can help reduce that swelling by promoting lymphatic drainage and preventing fluid buildup.

Support chronic conditions: Compression socks are beneficial for managing various chronic conditions that affect the lower limbs, by helping to alleviate pain, swelling and numbness. These conditions include lymphedema, venous insufficiency, arthritis, and peripheral neuropathy.

FAQs | Compression Socks

  • 1. How are compression levels measured with compression socks?

    Compression socks come in various levels of compression, typically measured in mmHg (millimetres of mercury), and is something worth considering if you’re looking to buy compression socks. The right level depends on your needs. Compression socks with a gentle compression level (10-15mmHg) are suitable for compression-wear beginners and can be worn comfortably for long periods of time. Those with a moderate compression level (15-20mmHg) are ideal for pregnant women, and those who travel frequently by air, sit or stand for long periods of time, or struggle with varicose veins. The third level, a firm compression level, is 20-30mmHg, and is the perfect compression level for those with swollen varicose veins and those recovering from varicose vein surgery. Our most popular style — our Legease compression socks — are 20-30mmHg, so are ideal for both everyday use as well as more complex conditions. If you’re unsure what style of compression socks are right for you, consult your healthcare professional.

  • 2. What conditions can the different compression levels assist with?

    A compression sock with a gentle compression level (10-15mmHg) can assist with reducing leg aches and fatigue, preventing swollen ankles, legs and feet, and protecting your feet and lower legs. Those with a moderate compression level (15-20mmHg) can help with preventing swelling in legs, ankles and feet, alleviating the early onset of lower-limb conditions, encouraging circulatory wellness, and helping prevent blood clots and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). A firm compression level (20-30mmHg) can help prevent the recurrence of venous ulcerations, help prevent blood clots and deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and help control moderate to severe edema and varicosities as well as superficial thrombophlebitis.

  • 3. What manufacturing materials are the best for compression socks?

    Look for compression socks made from breathable and moisture-wicking materials such as spandex, nylon, spandex, or a blend of synthetic fibres. These materials will help keep your feet, ankles and legs dry and comfortable. Our compression socks are made from a blend of nylon/spandex, and our copper protector ankle support from a blend of copper and spandex.

  • 4. How do I know if my compression socks fit properly?

    Compression socks should fit snugly but not be uncomfortably tight. They should be sized properly according to your shoe size and calf circumference. Our range has size charts to help you find the right fit, measured in both shoe and calf size.

  • 5. Who shouldn’t wear compression socks?

    You should only wear compression socks on the advice of your healthcare professional if you have swollen and painful legs caused by sickness or injuries, skin with open wounds in a large area, severe heart disease, high blood pressure, blood capillary or peripheral nerve vascular lesions diseases, purulent and ulcer legs or eczematous skin diseases, or chronic renal insufficiency.

  • 6. Common issues with compression socks

    When worn and fitted correctly, compression socks and stockings are very safe and effective for most people. Some of the issues you may encounter if you use compression wear incorrectly include general discomfort due to incorrect wear — if you put your compression socks on incorrectly, you may end up with uncomfortable rolls or twists that may dig into your skin. If your compression socks are too tight due to weight gain or an incorrect size, they may interfere with your blood circulation. Follow our size guide carefully for the correct fit. Those with skin conditions may also experience chafing or skin irritation. If you have bruises, cuts or scrapes, you should also wait until they are healed. People with dry/damaged skin or a skin condition like psoriasis or eczema may also experience increased itchiness.

  • 7. How long should I wear my compression socks for?

    Navigating the recommendations for the daily or extended use of compression socks can enhance their benefits while ensuring comfort. For everyday wear, it’s generally recommended you put on your compression socks first thing in the morning and wear them throughout the day. Adjustments may be necessary to ensure comfort. In terms of extended use, like during extended periods of immobility or during long-haul flights, the extended wear of compression socks may be advisable. However, it’s essential to take precautions, such as ensuring the stockings fit correctly and that you take them off if discomfort or skin irritation occurs. If you notice any adverse effects, it’s important to remove your compression socks and consult your healthcare professional.
