Compression Stockings & Socks for Varicose Veins

Aching calves like calf cramps, leg heaviness, and ankle swelling are common with varicose veins. Compression stockings for varicose veins use graduated pressure to support vein valves, improve upward blood flow, and reduce fluid pooling and risk of blood clots. 

So, your legs feel lighter throughout the day. Choose support socks for varicose veins or full varicose veins compression stockings based on where you feel symptoms and how much support you need.

Choose Your Support Level (mmHg)

Pick compression strength based on symptoms and clinical advice. Refer to the Compression Stockings Size Chart to choose the right fit.

• Mild (15–20 mmHg): Early varicose veins, tired/heavy legs, long sitting or standing, travel. Comfortable for first-time daily wear.
• Moderate (20–30 mmHg): Persistent symptoms, clinician-guided post-procedure use, or when mild isn’t enough. Stronger oedema control for everyday routines.
• Firm (30–40 mmHg):Specialist-directed only. For significant venous insufficiency where higher pressure is prescribed.

If you have arterial disease, severe neuropathy, or leg ulcers, check with your GP first; it’s better to know when not to use compression stockings.

Pick Your Style & Fabric

Choose length, toe, and fabric to match where you feel symptoms, your shoes, and the climate. So, support feels natural all day.

Length

• Knee-high: Best for calf-dominant symptoms and swelling. Easy to don; discreet under trousers.
• Thigh-high / Pantyhose: Choose when veins or heaviness extend above the knee for continuous graduated support.

Toe

• Closed-toe: Classic everyday look; ideal for work and cooler weather.
• Open-toe: Extra toe freedom, helpful for bunions or a wide forefoot; works well with sandals and fitting checks.

Fabric & Feel

• Microfibre: Soft, smooth, low-friction, great for daily comfort.
• Cotton-blend: Breathable for warmer days and sensitive skin.
• Sheer / Opaque: Sheer for professional wear; opaque for coverage and durability.
