Ankles doubling in size by evening? Graduated compression applies its strongest pressure at the ankle, easing upward, helping push fluid back toward the heart and reducing that heavy, tight feeling.

Pregnancy Support
Pregnancy Support

Carrying extra weight puts enormous pressure on leg veins. Compression socks may help ease the swelling, heaviness, and achiness that often come with 2nd and 3rd trimester pregnancy. Always consult your OB first.

Graduated Compression: Clinically Studied

The science behind 15–25 mmHg graduated compression is supported by peer-reviewed clinical research published in leading medical journals.

Significant Reduction

15–25 mmHg Reduces Occupational Edema

A clinical trial found that 15–25 mmHg compression stockings significantly reduced leg swelling in both standing and seated individuals compared to lower compression and no compression (p<0.001).

PubMed · Quilici Belczak et al., 2018
100% Would Wear Again

Effective for Pregnancy Swelling

In a randomized trial, pregnant women wearing compression stockings had significantly smaller ankle swelling (0.15 cm vs 1.87 cm in controls). All participants reported symptom improvement and said they would wear them again.

PMC · Pregnancy Edema Trial, 2022
90% Risk Reduction

Reduces In-Flight Leg Swelling

A Cochrane systematic review of 9 clinical trials found that compression stockings reduced asymptomatic DVT by 90% on flights over 5 hours (OR 0.10, 95% CI 0.04–0.25, high-certainty evidence).

Cochrane · Clarke et al., 2021

These studies relate to graduated compression in general, not specifically to The Well Socks products. Individual results may vary. Compression socks are not a medical device.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size should I choose?
Use our size guide based on your US shoe size — the same chart works for men and women. If you're between sizes, we recommend going one size up for a more comfortable fit. Most customers find their match on the first try.
How long should I wear them each day?
You can wear them throughout the day, most customers put them on in the morning and take them off before bed. Start with a few hours if you're new to compression socks and gradually increase wear time as you get comfortable.
Are they safe during pregnancy?
Many pregnant women use 15–25 mmHg compression socks to help with leg swelling. However, we always recommend consulting your OB/GYN or midwife before starting any new wellness routine during pregnancy.
Can I machine wash them?
Yes! Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and let them air dry. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners to preserve the compression fabric's elasticity. They're designed to maintain compression through 50+ washes.
Do they help with varicose veins?
Graduated compression socks may help support comfort for people with varicose veins by promoting blood flow. They are not a medical treatment, please consult your healthcare provider for specific medical advice regarding varicose veins.
What is your return policy?
We offer a 90-day money-back guarantee on unused product. If you're not completely satisfied, contact us at support@thewellsocks.com for a full refund, no questions asked. We cover return shipping within the US.
