Sizing FAQs
What if I'm between sizes?
If you're in between sizes, take into consideration your body type and what you are generally most comfortable in. Do you find that you often size up in shoes or pants? Do you have wide feet or narrow? Do you like a really tight fit for the feeling of support?
Don't forget we do offer postage-paid free returns & exchanges - so if the first size you try isn't a perfect fit, we'll happily help you find one that does.

How do I know if I need a "wide calf" size?
Our wide calf sizes accommodate a calf circumference of 17-21," measured at the widest point of the calf. To measure your calves, use a tape measure or a piece of string that you can lay alongside a ruler.
If your calf measures between a wide calf and standard calf size, we recommend trying the standard calf size first. Compression socks should feel tight, like a gentle hug for your legs.
Why do some of my socks feel tighter than others?
You may find that a pair of your compression socks feels tighter than the others, even in the same size. This is normal! Different fabrics will feel differently on your legs. For example, nylon socks may feel more compressive due to the denser weave (400 needle-count) - however, they offer the same compression that you'd get from the same compression level in a cotton sock. Customers often remark that our cotton socks feel the most stretchy & easy to put on.
Our products are regularly tested and quality-checked to ensure they fall within the listed compression range and correct size measurements - so you can be assured that the socks you're wearing are delivering all the benefits of graduated compression.
It's important to note that some of our more complex designs do have stitching on the inside that some say makes the sock feel tighter or harder to put on. This is the nature of a sock that has the design woven into the fabric, rather than printed on the surface. If you are concerned about fit, we do recommend starting with our simpler designs to begin getting your legs used to the feeling of wearing compression socks.

Compression Levels
Compression garments are made in a variety of support levels, each designed to address different needs. These levels are most commonly expressed in millimeters of mercury (abbreviated as mmHg). Generally, graduated compression is displayed in ranges. The higher the numerical value, the stronger the support level indicated. For example, a 20-30 mmHg garment will offer more support and feel tighter than a 15-20 mmHg garment.
All VIM & VIGR legwear is offered in a 15-20 mmHg compression level and select styles are available in 20-30 mmHg and 30-40 mmHg.
LEVEL | SUPPORT | USES & APPLICATIONS |
15-20 mmHg |
Ideal for all-day, every day wear. Offers moderate support to reduce ankle and leg swelling, ease tired and achy legs, and aid in muscle recovery. Commonly used for travel, mild to moderate edema, pregnancy, spider and varicose veins. |
|
20-30 mmHg |
20-30 mmHg is a medical grade compression level and often comes as a prescription or recommendation by a healthcare provider. Please consult with your healthcare provider before choosing this level of support. Commonly used for moderate edema, lymphedema, Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), pre and post-surgical applications, moderate spider and varicose veins. |
|
30-40 mmHg |
30-40 mmHg is a prescription compression level and is often prescribed by a doctor for treating health conditions such as venous insufficiency, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and lymphedema. Please consult with your healthcare provider before choosing this level of support. |

My husband and I ride a tandem bicycle in the summer. The nylon compression socks that breathe are so comfortable for bicycle riding and general summer wear.
My husband and I ride a tandem bicycle in the summer. The breathable nylon compression socks are so comfortable on a summer bike ride and all summer days. I recommend them highly.
When I wear these socks, my legs feel great at the end of the day! They aren’t too hot, even on the warmest days.
I like these very much, I’m soo happy that they fit me with smaller feet but a large swelled calf and they’re comfortably to!
Love these thin socks for warm months.
I have been on the hunt for compression socks that work well for a woman with 19 in. calves. Many of the stockings on the market go up to size 20 in., and I find those socks don't stay up very well, and easily start sliding down my legs. The wide calf compression socks from Vim & Vigr go all the way to beneath the back of my knees, and don't slide down easily. The wicking material is very comfortable, and the socks wash out well. I've already ordered more pairs, so I am ready for summer weather. I am very thankful I have found these compression socks to use.
I've been wearing these socks for a few weeks and they are great. I stopped wearing compression socks for about ten years because they were so painful. These socks are very comfortable. I'm not pulling them up during the day. They don't cut off my circulation under the knee, which was the reason why I stopped wearing them. I wear them every single day, morning till I go to sleep. They do what they are supposed to do.
