Collection: Plus Size Knee High Socks

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.

Knee high socks gained popularity as a fashionable accessory in the 1960s and continued to be a style staple through the 1970s and 1980s. They made a notable comeback in the mid to late 1990s, influenced by the movie "Clueless." Today, they remain a common element in many school uniforms and continue to be popular in various fashion contexts.

Knee-high socks might roll down for a few reasons:

1. Improper Fit: If the socks are too large or too small, they might not stay in place. Socks that are too tight can roll down due to pressure, while socks that are too loose lack the necessary grip.
2. Material: Socks made from materials that don't provide enough elasticity or grip can start to slide down over time.
3. Elasticity Loss: Over time and with repeated washings, socks can lose their elasticity, leading to a poor fit.
4. Leg Shape: Everyone's legs are shaped differently; some people might have narrower calves where socks can't hold on as tightly.
5. Incorrect Size: Wearing socks that aren't the right size for your feet and legs can lead to them rolling down due to a lack of proper tension.

We offer men's and womens compression socks in a range of sizes from 2XL-7XL, with a tight fit around the ankle and a loose fit at the top for an easy on/off experience.

Knee-high socks are a versatile addition to anyone's wardrobe, suitable for both women and men. Here’s how to wear them effectively:

For womens knee high socks

• Choose Your Style: Women's knee-high socks come in various patterns, materials, and colors. Pick a pair that complements your outfit, whether it's a solid color for a professional look or a bold pattern for a fun, casual outfit.
• Pair with Skirts and Dresses: Knee-high socks work great with skirts and dresses. They should sit just below your knee or slightly overlap with the hem of your skirt or dress for a cohesive look.
• Boots and Shoes: Pair them with boots, ankle boots, or even high heels for a chic look. They can also be worn with flats or loafers for a more casual, preppy style.
• Layering: On colder days, layer your knee-high socks over tights for added warmth and texture.

For mens knee high socks

• Casual or Formal: Men's knee-high socks are ideal for both casual and formal occasions. Choose darker, more subdued colors for professional settings and brighter colors or patterns for casual wear.
• Suit Up: Wear them with a suit to ensure that no skin is visible when you sit down or cross your legs.
• With Shorts: For a more relaxed, sporty look, men can pair knee-high socks with shorts, but this is more of a bold fashion statement and suits athletic or casual settings.
• Footwear: Pair them with dress shoes, loafers, or sneakers depending on the occasion. Ensure the socks complement the shoes and the overall outfit.

Yes,compression knee high socks can be beneficial for many people, particularly in the following contexts:

• Improved Circulation: They help improve blood flow and circulation in the legs, which can be especially beneficial for people who stand or sit for long periods.
• Reduced Swelling and Fatigue: By promoting blood flow, they can help reduce swelling and fatigue in the legs and feet.
• Support for Varicose Veins: They can help alleviate discomfort and swelling associated with varicose veins.
• Travel: Wearing them during long flights or car rides can reduce the risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and decrease leg swelling.
• Sports and Recovery: Athletes may wear them to improve performance and reduce recovery time.

Knee high compression socks should fit snugly but not be uncomfortably tight. The correct tightness ensures effective compression without restricting circulation. Here’s how they should feel:

• Snug, Not Constricting: They should feel firm around your legs but shouldn’t cause pain or severe discomfort.
• Graduated Compression: The socks should be tightest around your ankle and gradually decrease in pressure up towards your knee. This design helps promote upward blood flow from your lower extremities.
• Smooth Fit: There should be no significant bunching or wrinkling, as this can affect the compression and be uncomfortable.
• Toe Room: Your toes should not feel squished or overly restricted. You should be able to move them freely.
• Check for Indentations: While some imprinting on the skin is normal, especially after prolonged wear, you should not have deep marks or feel numbness or tingling in your legs or feet.

If you're not sure about the fit, it's best to consult a healthcare professional or ask our customer service to help you make sure you're using the right size and pressure level for your needs.
