Find the Right Compression Stockings for You
Our trained fitters carefully measure you in-store to ensure your stockings provide the best possible comfort, support, and effectiveness, because when it comes to compression, one size truly does not fit everyone.
What Are Compression Stockings?
Compression stockings are specially designed socks or hosiery that gently squeeze your legs to improve blood flow. By supporting healthy circulation, they help reduce swelling, ease tired or achy legs, and can prevent or manage vein issues such as varicose veins. Many people wear them for everyday comfort, long periods of sitting or standing, travel, or medical recovery.
Who Needs Compression Stockings?
If you experience varicose veins, leg swelling from prolonged standing or sitting, are recovering post-surgery, are an athlete or frequent traveler, or are expecting, you may benefit from wearing compression stockings.

Why Proper Fit Matters
Wearing the wrong size or compression level isn’t just uncomfortable — it can cause pain, reduce effectiveness, and even lead to skin irritation or circulation issues. Compression stockings aren’t like regular socks. The right fit ensures comfort, safety, and results. Our trained fitters measure you in-store to make sure your stockings work exactly as they should.
Compression Levels Explained
Choosing the right compression level is key to getting the best results. Here’s a quick guide:
- Mild (8–15 mmHg): Helps relieve light swelling and leg fatigue
- Moderate (15–20 mmHg): Ideal for travel or mild varicose veins
- Firm (20–30 mmHg): Recommended for moderate varicose veins or post-procedure support
- Extra Firm (30–40 mmHg): For severe cases — prescription required

Frequently Asked Questions
What are compression stockings and how do they help with leg swelling?
Compression stockings are specially designed socks that improve circulation by applying graduated pressure to your legs. They can reduce leg swelling, prevent tired or heavy legs, and support overall vein health. They’re especially helpful if you spend long hours sitting, standing, traveling, or if you’re pregnant or older.
How do I put on compression stockings if I’m not confident I can do it myself?
Don’t worry, you’re not the only one! Compression socks are snug by design, so they can be tricky at first. We’ll show you the right technique in-store, and we also offer application aids to make life easier. Our most popular option is the Butler Application Aid, which holds the stocking open so you can slide your foot in with less effort. Visit any of our stores during business hours, and we’ll get you fitted and confident in putting them on yourself or the right tools to assist you.
Do I need an appointment to get fitted for compression stockings in-store?
No appointment is needed. We accept walk-ins at any of our stores during business hours. For your convenience, you can also give us a quick heads up by filling out the form on this page. Just submit it, and you’ll feel confident knowing we’re expecting you. Either way, it’s simple, easy, and you’ll leave with the right compression stockings for your needs.
Do I need a prescription for compression socks or stockings?
Not always. Mild to moderate compression levels (8–20 mmHg) can be purchased over the counter, but higher levels (20 mmHg and above) often require a prescription. The best way to know which level is right for you is to stop into any of our stores for a professional fitting.
What happens if compression stockings don’t fit properly?
Incorrectly fitted compression socks can cause discomfort, reduce their effectiveness, and may even lead to skin irritation or circulation issues. That’s why we strongly recommend coming into our stores, where our trained staff will measure you and ensure the stockings are safe, comfortable, and effective.
