Moderate Compression Socks
Moderate Compression Socks for men and women
Sockwell moderate compression socks can be worn by anyone - men and women - and offer the benefits of mild compression (15–20 mmHg). They provide comfort and support for everyday use and can help reduce or even prevent mild symptoms. moderate compression socks are ideal for long periods of standing or sitting, long flights or car journeys, during and after sports, or simply at home as extra-comfortable socks.
When to choose moderate compression socks
Moderate compression socks are best for mild symptoms such as heavy or tired legs, a tendency towards restless legs, mild varicose veins, and light swelling. They can also be worn during pregnancy to help prevent swelling and varicose veins.
They are also perfect as lifestyle compression socks – a great alternative to regular socks. Think of them as wellness for your feet, every single day. Thanks to our advanced knitting technology and unique material blend, they keep your feet dry, fresh, and at a comfortable temperature.
If it’s your first time wearing compression socks, we recommend starting with moderate compression. They may feel quite snug at first – this is normal and you’ll quickly get used to it. If needed, you can always move up to firm compression socks later.
What compression levels are there?
Compression socks from Sockwell come in two levels, moderate and firm, which are safe for anyone to wear without a prescription.
- Moderate compression (15–20 mmHg), often called support socks.
- Firm compression (20–30 mmHg), recommended for more noticeable symptoms.
Higher compression levels are only for severe medical conditions. These must be custom-fitted by trained medical staff and require a prescription.
Why choose Sockwell?
All Sockwell compression socks are designed with advanced knitting technology for maximum comfort and function. The separate toe area allows natural movement, and flexible zones ensure your feet and legs can move freely. No irritating seams, and a specially knitted heel prevents slipping.
Our socks are made from the finest merino wool (Cashmerino®) and bamboo yarns – a natural, antibacterial blend that is moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating. This ensures all-day comfort, keeping your feet warm in winter and cool in summer. For elasticity and the perfect fit, we use stretch nylon, and a small amount of spandex adds strength and helps the socks keep their shape after wearing and washing.
