    Bailey - ED Nurse ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    "Working in the ED means being on my feet for long and intense shifts. We rarely get a chance to sit, and by the end of the day, my legs used to feel absolutely drained. Scrubcare Footwear gives my legs the support they need to keep moving without that heavy, achy feeling. Plus, the designs are epic!"

We spent countless hours designing each pair to bring you compression socks that combine unmatched comfort with awesome style. These aren’t just your average compression socks—they’re the coolest ones on the web, and you won’t find them anywhere else but here! Okay, we might be a little biased… but hey, we did design them, after all.

Breathable compression socks for nurses.

Breathable Nursing Socks – Stay Cool and Dry All Shift

Say goodbye to sweaty feet! When designing our socks, we knew the importance of regulating heat and keeping your feet comfortable. That’s why our compression socks are crafted from breathable, high-performance materials designed to keep your feet cool and dry during your toughest shifts. We’ve integrated specialized sections on both the foot and calf for optimal airflow, along with a lightweight fabric that wicks moisture away.

Compression socks for nurses graduated compression.

20-30mmHg Graduated Compression for All-Shift Comfort

Our socks are designed with graduated 20-30mmHg compression, the perfect balance for all-day support and comfort. This ideal level of compression works to boost your circulation, reduce swelling, and keep your legs feeling fresh during those long shifts on your feet.

Compression socks for nurses with seamless toe and heel.

Seamless Toe and Heel for Maximum Comfort

No more annoying bunching or discomfort! When we designed our compression socks, we wanted comfort to be a priority. That's why they feature a seamless toe and heel design, ensuring a smooth, irritation-free fit. With no seams or extra material to rub against your skin, you’ll enjoy a perfect, snug fit that stays in place, no matter how long your shift lasts.

Soft compression socks for nurses with padding in the sole.

Cushioned Sole

Our compression socks feature extra cushioning in the sole to give your feet the support they deserve. Whether you're standing or walking around the hospital, this sole absorbs impact and reduces pressure, providing a soft, supportive feel with every step. Kind of like standing on a cloud.

FAQs about Compression Socks

What is our most popular design?

That’s tough for us because we love every design, and each one suits a different vibe or day! However, when it comes to the most sold, it would have to be Midnight Madness.

Why do nurses wear compression socks?

Nurses wear compression socks to improve circulation, reduce leg fatigue, and prevent swelling during long shifts. The graduated pressure helps minimize discomfort, lower the risk of varicose veins, and keep legs energized. Many healthcare workers rely on 20-30mmHg compression socks to stay comfortable and supported through long hours on their feet.

How do compression socks work?

Graduated compression socks work by applying gentle pressure—tighter at the ankle and looser up the leg—to boost circulation, reduce swelling, and fight fatigue. Perfect for nurses and healthcare workers who spend long hours standing, keeping your legs energized and supported throughout your shift.

When should you wear compression socks?

Compression socks are ideal for wearing during those 8-12 hour shifts to help keep your legs energized and comfortable. You can also wear them after work if your legs feel tired or swollen for added relief and recovery.

Who should not wear compression socks?

While compression socks are beneficial for many, they may not be suitable for everyone. People with peripheral artery disease or other circulation issues should avoid wearing them. If you’re unsure, consult your doctor before use.

Are varicose veins common in nurses?

Yes, varicose veins are very common in nurses due to long hours spent standing. A study by Ali et al. (2022) on the prevalence of varicose veins among nurses found that 88.2% of female nurses and 11.8% of male nurses were affected by varicose veins.

Can compression socks help prevent varicose veins?

Scientific research indicates that occupations requiring prolonged standing (4+ hours) increase the risk of developing varicose veins and other vein-related issues. But fear not—research also shows that compression socks can be a smart, preventative choice by improving venous blood flow, reducing venous reflux, and lowering ambulatory venous pressure (Anwar et al., 2020).
