Not sure which to choose? Start with your everyday shoe size, then measure your calf at its widest point and check it against the chart. Fit matters more with compression than with an ordinary sock. Too loose and it does not sit where it should, too tight and it is uncomfortable to wear all day. If you are between sizes, go up.

Choosing your strength: Light (8–15 mmHg) is for everyday comfort and mild swelling. Medium (15–20 mmHg) is for tired, heavy legs, long flights and long stretches of sitting, and it is the level most people choose. Firm (20–30 mmHg) is for legs that feel heavy and swollen by the end of the day. Every level is graduated: firmest at the ankle, easing up the calf. If you have been told to wear a specific strength, choose that one, and check with your doctor before changing it.

Getting them on: roll the stocking down to the heel, slip your foot in, then unroll it up the leg rather than tugging from the top. The firmer 20–30 mmHg takes a little more effort the first few times.

Fabric & Care

84% nylon and 16% spandex, knit to hold firm, consistent support through the day and to wash without going slack. Over-the-calf length with a smooth, flat toe seam and a flat top band shaped to sit without rolling or pinching. Knit on knitting machines in Alabama and made in the USA. Machine wash cold, tumble dry low or hang dry. No bleach, and no fabric softener, which coats the fibers and shortens the life of the knit.

Sizing & Fit

Three sizes, all based on your everyday shoe size: Medium fits shoe sizes 7–10, Large fits 10–13, X-Large fits 13–15. Fit matters more with compression than with an ordinary sock, so measure your calf at its widest point and check it against the chart. Between sizes, go up.

Then pick your strength. Light (8–15 mmHg) is the everyday choice, for general comfort and mild swelling. Medium (15–20 mmHg) is what most people pick for tired, heavy legs, long flights and long stretches of sitting. Firm (20–30 mmHg) is the firmest hold, for legs that feel heavy and swollen by the end of the day. If you have been told to wear a specific strength, choose that one, and check with your doctor before changing it.

Shipping & Returns

Free shipping on every order, with no minimum to hit. Orders leave the warehouse within 1–2 business days. Every pair carries a 1-year replacement guarantee: if a stocking gets a hole or wears out within a year, send it back and we'll replace it free.

The same build in every pair

What goes into every Diabetic Sock Club compression stocking, from the top band down to the toe.

Graduated Compression

Knit as a measured gradient rather than a tight tube, firmest at the ankle and easing up the calf. Available in 8–15, 15–20 and 20–30 mmHg.

Over-The-Calf Length

Full lower-leg coverage from the toe to just below the knee, instead of stopping at the ankle.

Flat, Non-Rolling Top

The top band is knit flat and shaped to hold position through a long day without rolling down or pinching the calf.

Made In The U.S.A.

Knit on knitting machines in Alabama and shipped from NC, so we can hold every pair to the same standard.

Breathable Nylon Knit

An 84% nylon and 16% spandex knit that holds its shape and stays breathable through a full day of wear.

Smooth Toe Closure

The toe is finished smoothly, so there is no bulky ridge sitting across your toes inside a shoe or a boot.

For legs that feel heavy by the end of the day

Graduated over-the-calf compression in three strengths, for long drives, long flights and long stretches of sitting.

GRADUATED COMPRESSION

Three strengths, firmest at the ankle

These are knit as a measured gradient rather than a tight tube: firmest at the ankle, easing as the stocking rises toward the knee. Choose 8–15 mmHg for light everyday support, 15–20 mmHg for medium, or 20–30 mmHg for firm. If you have been told to wear a specific strength, choose that one, and check with your doctor before changing it.

OVER-THE-CALF LENGTH

Covered from toe to just below the knee

Full lower-leg coverage instead of stopping at the ankle, which is what you want on a long flight or a long afternoon in a chair. The top band is knit flat and shaped to stay where you put it all day, without rolling down or pinching the calf.

84% NYLON / 16% SPANDEX

Holds its strength wash after wash

An 84% nylon and 16% spandex knit that keeps its compression through the day and washes without going slack, so the pair you bought in March still feels the same in September. Breathable and moisture-wicking, finished with a smooth toe closure so nothing sits across your toes inside a shoe or a boot.

Frequently Asked Questions

If your question isn't here, give us a call.

Which compression strength should I choose?

Choose 8–15 mmHg for light everyday support, 15–20 mmHg for medium, or 20–30 mmHg for firm. All three are graduated: firmest at the ankle, easing up the calf. If you have been told to wear a specific strength, choose that one, and check with your doctor before changing it.

What is the 1-year replacement guarantee?

If a pair gets a hole or wears out within a year of buying it, send it back and we'll replace it free.

How do I choose my size?

Start with your everyday shoe size (Medium fits shoe sizes 7–10, Large fits 10–13, X-Large fits 13–15), then measure your calf at its widest point and check it against the chart. Between sizes, go up.

How do I get them on?

Roll the stocking down to the heel, slip your foot in, then unroll it up the leg rather than tugging from the top. The firmer 20–30 mmHg takes a little more effort the first few times. Our Sock Aid Slider Kit helps if bending is difficult.

Can I wear them on long flights and long drives?

That is what most customers buy them for: long flights, long drives and long days out. Most people put them on in the morning and take them off at night.

What are they made of, and where?

84% nylon and 16% spandex, knit on knitting machines in Alabama and made in the USA. Machine washable, in White, Black, Navy, Brown, Grey and Tan.

Problem With Sizing

I seem to have a problem with sizing. My shoe size is 9.5 C which puts me in a size that says up to size 10, bu it is almost impossible to put on; however, once on it seems to fit ok. I am trying the next size but it seems a bit loose. Guess I’m out of luck.

Outstanding product and very well made

Outstanding ding product and very well made. Providing Medical Compression Socks (over the calf) in black makes them useful in business casual attire. I have been wearing the pairs I purchased for about a week and they have made a positive significant impact.

Comfortable

Very comfortable but tight over the calf. It leaves a red mark and I can only wear them for a short while. I like the color and the material. I like the way it feels on my legs.

I liked them

I liked them. I have both the need for compression for a failing heart, and I need circulation for type 2 diabetes. These seem to work as well as any I have tried. The expense denies me more pairs of them.

Since there was no spot to indicate a calf measurement

Since there was no spot to indicate a calf measurement, these socks ended up being very much too tight at the top. Thank you for your quick delivery though.

Socks are great. Sizing is tricky.

Socks are great but to help others with sizing, I am male, 200lbs, 6'1", size 13 shoe and the XL are too large. Foot length too long and sleeve goes over the knee.

Love these socks♥️

I have been diabetic for 53 years and have problems with neuropathy and leg swelling. These socks are so comfortable compared to the ones I own that are
Nylon and polyester. Since they are made from cotton, they are soft on my legs, but tight enough to help my swelling. These socks are manufactured by an American company and that is reassuring because they are committed to excellence. They stand behind their promise to replace socks that tear or wear out. My first pair developed a tiny tear at the toe and immediately upon alerting the company, a new pair was sent! I have ordered two more pairs!!

Possible wrong size/compression socks in my shipment

I already own 6 pairs of compression socks from a DSC competitor - all are doing well after 4 months of use. I knew eventually I would need replacement socks so was willing to try DSC. I ordered one pair to check out their fit, color and compression for your XL socks.

The pair I received I can't get midway past middle of my foot, so I checked label on plastic bag to verify the label agreed with what I ordered (it did).

So 2 star rating is likely higher than the socks deserve! I would be happy to ship them back to you so you can see what you think is going on.
