Frequently Asked Questions

What compression strength are these?

Available in both 8-15 mmHg (mild, everyday wear) and 20-30 mmHg (moderate, for more significant circulation needs). Select your preferred strength when ordering.

Are compression socks safe for diabetics?

Consult your doctor before wearing compression socks if you have diabetes. Many diabetics benefit from mild (8-15 mmHg) compression for circulation, but higher compression levels may not be appropriate for everyone.

How do I know what size to order?

Measure the circumference of your calf at its widest point. Refer to our size chart for the best fit. Proper sizing is essential for effective compression.

How long can I wear these each day?

Most people wear compression stockings during waking hours and remove them at night. Start with a few hours and gradually increase wear time as your legs adjust.

Choosing the Right Compression Level

Compression strength is measured in mmHg (millimeters of mercury). Our 8-15 mmHg option provides mild, all-day support — a comfortable choice if you're on your feet for long shifts or notice mild swelling by evening.

The 20-30 mmHg option delivers firmer graduated compression, the level many doctors suggest for more noticeable swelling, tired or achy legs, and varicose veins. Graduated means the sock is snuggest at the ankle and eases up the calf, which is designed to encourage blood flow back toward the heart.

Who These Medical Compression Socks Are For

Men who stand or sit for long stretches — nurses and healthcare workers, drivers, frequent flyers, and anyone managing leg swelling or heaviness — may feel the biggest difference. The over-the-calf length supports the full lower leg, not just the ankle.

If you live with diabetes, severe circulation issues, or peripheral neuropathy, check with your doctor about the right compression level before daily wear. Every pair is knit in Alabama, USA, and covered by our 1-year replacement guarantee.

Customers praised the compression effectiveness, stating "really helped reduce swelling" and "no sweating of the feet." Many found them "very supportive and comfortable" with excellent construction quality. However, sizing issues were prevalent - numerous shoppers reported socks being "too tight" or difficult to put on, even when following size guides. Some received incorrect sizes/colors.

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.

Very poor customer service

Customer Service in any company is the first line for many if not most customer’s whether to purchase again. I sent a very polite question concerning the lack of info & guidance as to size and intensity of the cafe hi socks for the pair I “bought blind” are far to tight. A week or more after I’m still waiting for a response. With this poor C.Service help and concern I likely will never again purchase from this company.

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.

The over the calf 20-30 are made with good materials

The over the calf 20-30 are made with good materials. Unfortunately they are not available year around. The colors are limited and only available once or twice a year.

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.
