How do you know if compression socks fit right?
How do you know if compression socks fit right? Compression socks should feel snug, so if your compression socks slide down, or feel like they are not compressing, then there is a possibility that they need to be resized. The best way to prevent this from happening is taking your measurements before ordering and consulting the size guide.
What is the alternative to compression socks?
Luckily, there is a great alternative to compression hosiery - compression wraps! Compression wraps get wrapped around the leg and secured with Velcro straps, whereas conventional compression socks need to be pulled on and up. Wraps can be easily adjusted and are also great for those who need 24-hour compression.
What happens if you wear the wrong compression socks?
Although very rare, if worn incorrectly, compression stockings have the potential to cause blood clots rather than reduce their likelihood. Compression stockings are meant to increase blood circulation but, if worn too tightly, they can do the opposite.
