MediPeds compression sock

Over-the-calf socks knitted with a mild all-over compression, in black, two pairs to a packet or four, in shoe sizes from men 6-9 with women 6-10 up to men 12-15.

Read this shelf carefully, because it is the one where the words matter most. These are an everyday sock with a firmer knit, bought off a shelf and worn because a leg feels heavy by the evening or because a long flight is coming. The packet calls the fit graduated. What it does not carry, and what a prescribed stocking always does, is a compression class in millimetres of mercury and a leg measured for it: MedlinePlus is plain that which stocking to wear is a decision made with a provider rather than off a shelf. That page is linked at the foot of this shelf, and if you were sent for a fitted pair, it is the one to read rather than this one. What we can tell you about these is what they are: the knit is firmer than anything else in this catalogue, the top comes over the calf and just under the knee, and they come in black only. If the leg they are for is numb, or if a sock has ever left a mark that took hours to fade, that is a conversation to have before ordering rather than after.

Prices are the figures from our last update; the MediPeds way updates them on a schedule, and the figure at the till is the one that counts.

Before you order

Questions about MediPeds mild compression socks

What mild compression means here, how these differ from the stockings a doctor fits, and how far up the leg they come.

How much compression is in a MediPeds over-the-calf sock?

The packet calls it a mild graduated fit and prints no compression class, which is the difference that matters: a prescribed stocking comes with a number and a leg measured for it. These are bought off a shelf because a leg feels heavy by the evening or a long flight is coming.

Are MediPeds compression socks the same as the stockings a doctor prescribes?

No. A prescribed stocking is measured to your leg, is cut to press hardest at the ankle and less higher up, and is chosen with a provider who follows it up. MedlinePlus sets out what those are for and how they should feel; it is linked at the foot of this shelf, and if you were sent for a fitted pair, that page is the one to read.

How far up your leg do MediPeds compression socks come?

Over the calf, finishing just under the knee. That is the only height this line is knitted in, and it comes in black only.
