Compression Socks Sizing

Size Chart

We have a different sizing chart depending on the type of compression garment. Please consider your foot and calf circumference when choosing your size.

This fall, we're excited to introduce three new wide calf sizes! Learn more about our quest to make socks that are perfectly sized for every body and everybody.


If you're in between sizes, ask yourself a few questions:
What is my body type? Will I be more comfortable in a size up or down? Take your body type into consideration when choosing a size especially if you're in between sizes.

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.

LEVEL SUPPORT USES & APPLICATIONS

 

15-20 mmHg compression level scale
Moderate
 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.

 20-30 mmHg compression level scale

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.
