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).
