How to pick your size
- Measure your calf at its widest point and your ankle at its narrowest point, just above the ankle bone, ideally in the morning.
- Find the size that matches your calf, then check your ankle sits in the same column.
- If your calf and ankle point to different sizes, or you're right on the line between two, go up a size.
- Shoe size is a rough guide only. If yours falls in two sizes, go by your measurements.
- 3XL to 6XL are for wider calves. 3XL and 4XL share an ankle range, as do 5XL and 6XL, so choose these by your calf.

Product Details
Everything you need to know before you slip them on.
Description+
TheraWear compression socks pair genuine graduated support with the kind of comfort you can wear from breakfast to bedtime. The graduated 15-20mmHg knit sits tightest at the ankle and eases up the calf, helping return blood toward the heart, support circulation and help ease the ache and swelling of tired legs. A sound choice for flying, pregnancy, training, recovery and ordinary days on your feet.
Features & Benefits+
- Graduated 15–20mmHg compression, firmest at the ankle for real circulation support.
- Quality guarantee.
- Double-stitched seams that hold up wash after wash.
- Antibacterial yarn to keep feet feeling fresher for longer.
- Moisture-wicking and quick-drying breathable knit.
- Stay-put cuff that holds without digging in.
- Mix and match across 30+ designs in any multi-pack.
Materials & Care+
Fabric: 55% nylon, 25% spandex, 20% elastic.
- Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle.
- Do not tumble dry. Air-dry them in the shade, out of direct sun.
- Pop them in a mesh laundry bag to protect the knit.
- Skip bleach and fabric softener.
- Replace every 3–6 months to keep the compression true.
Sizing+
Sized S/M, L/XL and XXL, with extended 3XL, 4XL, 5XL and 6XL so there is a true fit for every leg. Your size comes from your ankle and calf measurements (shoe size is only a rough guide), so check the chart below. Between two sizes, or ankle and calf in different columns? Take the larger one.
Shipping & Returns+
Free delivery on orders over $70. Every order is sent with full tracking, North Island or South, and usually arrives in 5–8 business days. If a pair arrives faulty, damaged or wrong, we will replace or refund it, and a size that does not fit can be swapped for another within 30 days of delivery (you pay the postage to send it back). A tax invoice comes with every order.
The Science Behind Graduated Compression
Pressure that is strongest at the ankle and eases toward the calf gives your veins mechanical help moving blood upward — which may help ease swelling and leg fatigue and lower clot risk. Worn daily by Kiwi nurses, long-haul travellers, athletes and expectant mothers.
-
1
Firm at the ankle
15–20mmHg of pressure where it counts most to kick-start circulation.
-
2
Eases up the calf
The gradient guides blood upward, which may help ease swelling and heaviness.
-
3
All-day comfort
Breathable, antibacterial fabric with a non-slip cuff keeps you fresh from desk to flight.

What customers are saying
Soft material and breathable
The fabric feels much softer than other compression socks I’ve tried before and they don’t make my legs feel overheated during shifts.
Worth waiting for
Shipping was a little delayed but once they arrived I could immediately tell they were high quality. Super supportive for long days on my feet.

Compression sock FAQs
Are TheraWear compression socks good for nurses?
Yes. Our 15-20 mmHg graduated socks are a firm favourite with nurses and anyone spending a shift on their feet. The graduated pressure keeps blood moving, which may help take the edge off the aching, swelling and heavy legs that a long ward shift leaves behind.
Can I wear compression socks on long flights or when travelling?
Definitely. For the long-haul routes out of New Zealand, compression socks are one of the most recommended things you can pack. By supporting healthy circulation, our 15-20 mmHg socks may help keep swelling and that restless, achy feeling at bay when you are sitting still for hours.
Are compression socks safe to wear during pregnancy?
Plenty of expecting mums wear 15-20 mmHg compression socks for the swelling and leg heaviness that tends to arrive later in pregnancy. It is a gentle, everyday-friendly strength, but if you have a pregnancy-related condition, have a quick word with your GP or midwife first.
Do compression socks help with varicose veins?
Graduated compression is widely used to ease the symptoms of varicose veins, supporting circulation and settling the aching and swelling. Our socks are 15-20 mmHg (light-to-moderate); for a diagnosed vein condition, follow your doctor's advice on the strength that suits you.
What compression level are TheraWear socks?
Every pair is 15-20 mmHg graduated compression, firmest at the ankle and easing up the leg. It is a light-to-moderate strength, the most popular level for everyday wear, and available without a prescription.
How do I choose the right size?
Because every pair is the same 15-20 mmHg, you only need to choose your size, not a compression level. Measure your ankle and calf and match them to the chart on our Sizing Guide page for the best fit.
How long can I wear compression socks each day?
Most people wear their 15-20 mmHg socks comfortably right through the day and take them off at night. Put them on in the morning, when swelling is at its lowest. If a pair ever feels too tight, take it off.
How do I wash and care for them?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and air dry. Skip the tumble dryer, which breaks down the compression fibres over time. Our Care Guide has the full instructions.
