Frequently asked questions and answers about compression and support stockings
-
Compression stockings provide graduated pressure from the ankle up the calf. This can help increase blood circulation, reduce the feeling of tired legs, and provide better support during activity. Many people use them when running, exercising, working out, or traveling.
Compression can also be used after exercise to promote recovery.
-
The size is primarily based on the circumference of the calf where it is widest.
Small: 27–32 cm
Medium : 33–39 cm
Large : 40–45 cm
Large+: 40–45 cm with larger foot areaIf you are between two sizes, you can choose smaller for firmer compression or larger for a softer feel.

The Compression model is a good choice for everyday wear, long workdays and travel. It provides stable compression and a comfortable fit for extended use.
In case of pregnancy or medical problems, you should consult a healthcare professional.

Frequently asked questions about compression calf sleeves
-
A compression stocking covers both the foot and calf and provides graduated pressure from the ankle upwards. A calf sleeve provides compression over the calf but does not cover the foot.
Sleeves are often used in conjunction with a separate running or functional sock, while a compression sock is an all-in-one solution.
-
Choose wool when exercising or staying in colder weather, or when you want a soft and naturally temperature-regulating feel.
Synthetic can be a good choice for high-intensity training in warmer temperatures where maximum ventilation and quick drying time are most important.
Both materials wick away moisture, but wool is often perceived as warmer and more temperature-regulating.
Frequently asked questions and answers about wool compression
-
Yes. Merino wool compression socks are a good choice for training and activities in colder temperatures. Wool provides effective insulation while wicking away moisture, helping to keep feet dry and warm.
This makes them especially appreciated for winter running, cross-country skiing and cold working days outdoors.
-
A calf sleeve is a great option if you already have a favorite sock but want compression over your calf. It can also be a good option if you have different needs in your foot and calf, for example if you need a different foot size than your calf size.
If you want both foot comfort and compression in one garment, a compression sock is usually the easiest choice.
