How Graduated Compression Works
The knit is firmest at the ankle and loosens as it climbs, so the calf muscle can push blood back up rather than let it pool. Less swelling, less fatigue, lower thrombosis risk. Ward staff, commuters, runners and expectant mothers wear ours every day.
-
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 favourite among nurses and NHS staff, and anyone who spends a twelve-hour shift on their feet. The graduated pressure keeps blood moving, easing the aching, swelling and tired, heavy legs that a long shift brings on.
Can I wear compression socks on long flights or when travelling?
Absolutely. Compression socks are one of the most recommended items for long-haul flights and travel. By supporting healthy circulation, our 15-20 mmHg socks help reduce the leg swelling and discomfort that come from sitting still for hours at a stretch.
Are compression socks safe to wear during pregnancy?
Many expectant mothers wear 15-20 mmHg compression socks to help with the swelling and leg heaviness that are common later in pregnancy. It is a light-to-moderate, everyday-friendly strength, but if you have a pregnancy-related condition, check with your GP or midwife first.
Do compression socks help with varicose veins?
Graduated compression is widely used to help manage the symptoms of varicose veins, supporting circulation and easing aching and swelling. Our socks are 15-20 mmHg (light-to-moderate); for a diagnosed vein condition, follow your doctor's advice on the compression level that is right for 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 pick 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 15-20 mmHg socks comfortably throughout the day and take them off at night. Put them on in the morning, when swelling is lowest. If anything ever feels too tight, take them off.
How do I wash and care for them?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and air dry, and avoid the tumble dryer, which can break down the compression fibres over time. See our Care Guide for full instructions.
