Compression socks are recommended for people who experience leg pain, swelling, or other circulatory issues. They are particularly beneficial for those who:

• Have conditions like varicose veins, chronic venous insufficiency, lymphedema, or diabetes.
• Are on their feet or sitting for long periods, such as workers who stand all day or frequent travelers.
• Are recovering from surgery to reduce the risk of blood clots.
• Are pregnant, especially in the later stages, to help reduce leg swelling and the risk of deep vein thrombosis.
• Athletes who want to improve blood flow, enhance performance, or speed recovery.
• People with a history of leg health issues like deep vein thrombosis or edema.
• Individuals who are bedridden or have obesity may also benefit.

Compression socks improve circulation, reduce swelling, and can help prevent blood clots or venous ulcers. They are often recommended to be worn in the morning before getting out of bed and for most of the day, but not typically during sleep. People with certain medical conditions, such as peripheral artery disease or heart failure, should consult their doctors before using compression socks. Anyone considering them for medical reasons should consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
