HOW DO COMPRESSION SOCKS WORK?

Compression socks apply gentle, targeted pressure to your legs to improve blood flow and reduce fatigue. In New Zealand, these socks are popular among people who stand for long periods such as nurses, tradespeople, and athletes. They help to ease tired legs and prevent swelling.

  • Reducing leg swelling and discomfort caused by long hours on your feet
  • Boosting oxygen supply to muscles for enhanced energy and endurance
  • Supporting faster recovery after exercise or daily activity

Compression socks come in different compression strengths, from moderate to firm, allowing you to choose the best option based on your lifestyle and health needs. Many New Zealanders find moderate compression ideal for everyday use while firmer options help with more serious swelling or circulation issues.

What Are Compression Socks?

Compression socks are engineered with graduated pressure—firmer at the ankle, tapering toward the calf—to boost blood flow, prevent swelling and leg fatigue, and support faster recovery after exercise or long periods of standing. Our Australian-designed range uses breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics for all-day comfort and comes in styles that suit work, travel or your next workout.

How Do I Choose the Right Size & Compression Level?

For best results, measure your ankle, calf and (for thigh-high) thigh circumference against our sizing chart. With most people often wearing around 15–20 mmHg for daily wear.

Care & Maintenance Tips

To keep your socks and stockings working at peak performance, wash them gently in cool water with mild detergent, then air-dry flat—never tumble-dry or bleach. Rotate between at least two pairs to extend lifespan (most will retain full compression for 3–6 months of regular use).
