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	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. Commonly used for travel, mild to moderate edema, pregnancy, spider and varicose veins.
20-30 mmHg	Moderate to Firm	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	Firm	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.

A Must-Have for Healthcare Professionals: A Game-Changer in Comfort and Support

I was inspired to purchase these compression socks after seeing Dr. Betsy Grunch (ladyspinedoc) recommend them on her social media, and I’m so glad I did. These socks have truly been a game-changer in my daily routine. Unlike other compression socks and sleeves I've tried, which often proved uncomfortable, rolled down by the end of the day, or failed to provide adequate support, these socks excel in both comfort and functionality.

What sets these socks apart is not just their comfort but also their stylish designs and the ability to choose your desired level of compression. After long hours on my feet at work in the ICU, I can genuinely feel and see the difference in my feet. The enhanced support has made a significant impact on my daily comfort, making these socks an essential part of my work attire.

I highly recommend these compression socks to anyone, especially healthcare professionals who spend extended hours on their feet. They have made a noticeable difference in my workday, and I believe they can do the same for others.

Most excellent socks

Bought as a gift for my nurse daughter, she loves your socks and rolls up her scrub pants to show them off. She also follows Dr Grunch so a win-win!

Well worth it!!

My legs were less tired with wearing these. No swelling.

Perfect

Wore them on connecting flights during an 18hour travel day. No swelling, comfortable, and perfect.
