Maintain regular blood flow and help prevent DVT
Get welcome relief from tired, swollen or aching legs throughout the day. Ideal for travel and prolonged periods of inactivity, the graduated compression helps maintain regular blood flow. This helps reduce the risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). The LYCRA® fibre gives improved comfort and fit while the Dual Moisture Management keeps feet at a regulated temperature.
Product Details
How do they work? Graduated compression socks have stronger compression present at the ankle and this slowly decreases in value further up the leg towards the calf. They work by gently squeezing the leg to aid circulation and blood flow, encouraging blood to flow towards the heart.

Fitting Expert Review
These standard fit knee highs give the appearance of hosiery, but they feature a discreet, graduated compression which helps maintain the blood flow around the body. They are not suitable for swollen legs so if you need an extra roomy fitting take a look at our Extra Roomy Energising Cotton Socks, or our Extra Roomy Anti-DVT Travel Socks.
