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.

    Addictive!

    This morning I was feeling lazy and thinking I would just grab some plain wool socks, and then I thought how my legs and feet feel all day in the merino compression socks. Sitting, standing, and walking are so much more comfortable. I can even feel a difference on my stride. The regular socks are still in the drawer. (And I always wear wool socks because my feet stay dry and non-stinky in them. Even the socks themselves don’t smell after a day in sneakers.)

    Great for work where you stand a lot

    These provide great support and I notice my legs aren't as tired at the end of the day. I'm on my feet almost all day and almost always exceed 10,000 steps, and these socks help keep me fresh. The merino wool is plenty warm.

    Comfort AND compression

    I purchased socks for a wide calf (don’t judge - lol). The socks were perfect. They fit beautifully and were very comfortable. The compression aspect of the sock was not restrictive at all. I really didn’t expect them to be as comfortable as they were. A nice tight fit - and they fit like real knee highs should fit. I am thrilled with this purchase.

    Why did I wait so long?!

    First time trying compression socks and I’ll never go back!! These are well made and cute. Very happy with them.

    So Comfortable

    The merino wool 15-20 mmHg socks are the most comfortable socks I have ever worn. Thank you for making them.

    I love these socks, but I have one complaint. The toes are boxy and get bunched up under my toes. And I don’t like the seams on the toes. Other than that, they are comfortable, don’t make my feet sweat, are relatively easy to put on, and launder nicely. I have six pairs now and will likely buy more.
