Compression socks

If you reach the end of the day with tired or swollen legs, compression socks from Calcetinos are designed to support your circulation from morning to night, for men and women alike: light graduated compression of 14 to 17 mmHg tested in an external laboratory, made in Spain.

How do compression socks work?

They press more at the ankle and ease off towards the knee. That graduated compression helps the blood on its way back to the heart, which is an uphill journey, and helps your legs feel less loaded at the end of the day. What they are for, what the studies say and who should check with a doctor before wearing them is all in what do compression socks do?

This is light compression, designed for everyday wear, with no medical indication. If your doctor has prescribed a specific compression, that is the one you need.

Compression socks for tired and swollen legs, at work and beyond

We have a page for each situation: standing at work in healthcare, hospitality or retail, spending long hours sitting, flying, pregnancy and legs with varicose veins. And if you want them for training, you will find compression socks for running and other sports in their own collection.

Materials: choose for your day, the compression is the same

Basic, in combed cotton, for everyday wear; Nature Bamboo if you have sensitive skin, because it is more breathable than cotton; Fresh, in Coolmax, if you get hot; and Dynamic, in polyamide with a reinforced sole, for walking and sport.

Plain and without a tight top band, on purpose

They have no raised patterns, because every decorative seam presses on one specific spot and upsets the graduated compression. Nor do they have a tight elastic band at the top, so as not to restrict circulation or mark your leg, which means that part may feel a little loose. We want them to be worn all day without feeling constricting.

How to choose your size

They are unisex and the size is chosen by your leg measurement. The compression works between the ankle and the knee, so what you need to measure is your calf; the foot stays roomy whichever size you choose. You will find the measurements in the size guide.

How to wash Calcetinos compression socks

You can wash them in cold or lukewarm water (below 30 ºC), with pH-neutral soap, by hand or in the washing machine, whichever you prefer.

Do you feel at the end of the day that your legs can't take any more? Do you have that itch that scratching won't get rid of? Do you want to enjoy your afternoons and evenings the way you really want to?
