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 is why swelling, leg fatigue and clot risk all drop. 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 and reduces 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
Perfect for long-haul flights
Wore them Sydney to London and zero swelling for the first time ever. Soft, breathable and the compression feels firm but never tight. Highly recommend the 3-pack.
Great in pregnancy
Third trimester and my ankles thank me every day. The material is genuinely soft and the cuff doesn't leave marks. Ordered two more designs already.
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 takes 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 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.
