To measure for compression knee-high socks, follow these steps:
Calf Circumference: Measure the widest part of your calf. This measurement helps determine the width needed for the sock.
Ankle Circumference: Measure around the narrowest part of your ankle, just above the bone. This ensures the sock will fit snugly and provide proper compression at the ankle, where it's most needed.
Leg Length: Measure the distance from the bottom of your foot (heel) to the bend behind your knee. This length ensures that the knee-high sock extends to just below the knee, providing full coverage and support.
It is recommended that you take your measurements first thing in the morning to minimise leg swelling and thus get the most accurate size. Use a soft tape measure, we offer a size chart for compression knee high socks so you can compare and find the right size.
