How high up should compression socks go?
How high up should compression socks go? Knee highs and trouser socks should go all the way up your calf and stop just below the bend in your knee. If your knee highs or trouser socks are too long, please do not fold them over! This could possibly create reverse compression and it negates all the healthful benefits that compression provides.
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.
