What are the best compression socks for hot weather?
Look for breathable fabrics and lighter silhouettes. Cotton blend and silky microfiber knee-highs stay comfortable in the heat, while our ankle and quarter styles add breathable mesh and moisture-wicking WickWell™ yarn to keep feet dry. Our Spring/Summer collection brings these together in light, bright prints.
Can I wear compression socks in summer?
Yes. Mild 8–15 mmHg Everyday Compression™ feels close to a regular sock, so it's comfortable in warm weather, especially in breathable cotton blend or microfiber. Heat can make feet and legs swell more, which is one reason many people reach for compression in summer.
Do all the socks in this collection have the same compression?
It depends on the style. Knee-highs have graduated compression: 8–15 mmHg Everyday Compression™, or 15–20 mmHg in Moderate and sports styles. Ankle, quarter, mid-crew, crew and liner socks have a 360° compression body and arch band focused on the foot. Each product page lists its support level.
How do I find my size?
Most Dr. Motion socks are one-size-fits-most, made with stretch yarn to fit a range of feet and legs. Women's knee-highs fit women's shoe sizes 4–10 and calves 11.5"–18.5", and Wide Calf styles fit calves up to 22". Men's knee-highs fit men's shoe sizes 7–12 and calves 12"–19". Ankle, quarter, crew and liner styles fit the same shoe sizes. Sports knee-highs come in Sizes 2–4, calf sleeves in S/M and M/L, and tights in S–XL. Our size chart has full details.
What is WickWell™ yarn?
WickWell™ is a moisture-wicking polyester yarn we use in many of our ankle, quarter, crew, liner, outdoor and performance styles. It pulls sweat away from your skin so your feet stay drier and more comfortable, and it works with our anti-microbial, anti-odor finish to keep socks fresh.
