There are many types of compression socks available today. In the past, most compression socks were not durable, did not have any decent pressure gradient and the fabrics were of poor quality. All this has changed in the past 2 decades. Today, compression socks are made from good quality fabrics, are durable, attractive, comfortable to wear and more importantly, affordable.
Compression socks can be worn by both genders. The majority of compression socks available today are attractive, can be worn in the home or at work and help prevent swelling of the feet.
Compression socks have a higher pressure gradient at the toe and the pressure gradually decreases up along the leg. While most compression socks can be worn up to the ankle, the best results are obtained with socks that extend to mid leg or the calf. By gently squeezing blood out of the legs, compression socks limit foot swelling and minimize discomfort that is common at the end of a long day. Most compression socks also have a non elastic band that prevents the sock from rolling down the leg.
