Not sure which to choose? Go by your everyday shoe size; there is nothing to measure. If you are between sizes, size up: a sock that is a touch long is comfortable, one that is a touch short pulls at the toe all day.

The three strengths: 8–15 mmHg is light, 15–20 mmHg is medium and 20–30 mmHg is firm. The number is the pressure the knit applies, measured in millimetres of mercury, so a higher range means more compression. If you are not sure which strength is right for you, ask your own healthcare provider.

The top: knit to hold gently without a tight elastic band, so it stays up without digging in and leaves no mark around the leg.

Getting them on: turn the sock inside out down to the heel, slip your foot in, then roll the leg up. Ten seconds, no tugging.

Fabric & Care

Knit on knitting machines in Alabama, with a non-binding top that stays up without leaving a mark and a smooth toe seam with no ridge to rub.

Machine wash warm and tumble dry low. No bleach and no fabric softener — softener coats the fibres and flattens the stretch that keeps the top non-binding.

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.

Over-the-calf, with the mmHg knit into it

Graduated compression in 8–15, 15–20 or 20–30 mmHg, firmest at the ankle and easing up the calf, finished with a smooth toe seam.

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?

Go by your everyday shoe size and pick the size shown in the picker — there is nothing to measure. If you are between sizes, size 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.

Questions? Call us on (800) 214-0218, weekdays 9–3 EST.

Compression socks with cotton fabric that customers said are "soft" and "comfortable." Many praised the wide band that doesn't cut circulation and helps with swelling and neuropathy. However, sizing issues are common - many found them too tight or difficult to put on, even when sizing up. Some experienced discomfort at the knee/calf.

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.

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.
