Socks & compression socks

It depends on how you plan to use them. Consider the following:

Usage:

Do you need socks for everyday wear, sports, work, or a specific activity?

Material:

Wool keeps your feet warm and dry in all weather and is ideal for hiking
Bamboo viscose is soft and breathable
Cotton is durable and comfortable for everyday use
Lyocell is moisture-absorbing and well suited for training

Size:

We recommend choosing your usual shoe size for regular socks. For compression socks, however, you should base your choice on your ankle and calf measurements to ensure correct compression.

Support & comfort:

If you need extra support or comfort, consider socks with cushioning or compression features.

On our website, you can also use the filter function to sort by size, brand, material, colour, and function to find the socks that best suit your needs.

When choosing compression socks, you need your shoe size as well as your ankle and calf measurements.

Use a measuring tape and measure in the morning before your legs have had time to swell.

Measure your ankle circumference at the narrowest point
Measure your calf circumference at the widest point
If you are buying tights or stay-ups, also measure your thigh at its widest point

Accurate measurements are important to ensure the correct compression level. If you have wider calves, you may in some cases need to choose a larger size.

You should base your size on your calf and ankle measurements (taken in the morning).

Once you have measured, select the size that matches your measurements according to the size guide on the product page. You will find the size guide where you select the size.

When choosing compression socks, you should consider three factors: calf measurement, ankle measurement, and shoe size. The most important factors are your calf and ankle measurements, as they determine the correct compression.

If you fall between two sizes, or if your measurements fit two different sizes, we recommend using your shoe size as a deciding factor for the best overall fit.

However, you should never choose a size that does not match your calf or ankle measurements.

If you have measured according to our size chart but the socks still don’t feel right, there may be several different reasons.

Check the following:

Check that the size of the compression socks matches the size stated in your order confirmation and that the correct size is indicated on the compression socks.

Swelling can affect the fit and often varies throughout the day. If you have tried on the compression socks in the middle of the day, your legs may be more swollen than they are in the morning. Therefore, we recommend putting on or trying the compression socks first thing in the morning, based on the measurements you have taken.

Please also keep in mind that compression socks should feel snug in order to provide the correct level of compression. However, they should not feel uncomfortably tight, dig into your skin, or cause pain.

If the fit still doesn’t feel right, please feel free to contact our customer service team. We’ll be happy to help you review the size and model.
