Frequently Asked Questions

For our women's & men's one size compression socks, women's compression tights, and all sports compression products, please refer to our size charts here.

Our products use a high-stretch yarn blend with knit-in flex zones at the cuff, arch, and instep, so they conform comfortably to a wide range of foot and calf sizes. Because our mild compression is designed to work by zone rather than by exact measurement, one size delivers the right feel for most wearers, no guesswork required. We say one size fits most, not one size fits all, because comfort and fit matter more than a blanket promise.

Most of our products are One Size Fits Most! Please pull up the cuff of the socks to right below your knee (not over! This can cut off your circulation) and smooth out any extra material. 

Shown below, our friends are 6’1” and 5’2” respectively and wearing the same size products.

Graduated, or gradient, compression socks are tighter at the ankle (more compression) and slightly decrease in tightness moving up to the knee (less compression). This promotes blood flow up the leg. By compressing the surface veins, arteries, and muscles, they push circulating blood through narrower channels resulting in better circulation and various health benefits.

All of our Dr. Motion Everyday knee-high compression socks are mild compression, 8-15mmHg.

Our Dr. Motion Sports knee-high compression socks or compression calf sleeves are moderate compression, 15-20mmHg.

The majority of our products are a blend of microfiber nylon or cotton. All polyester that we use is specially treated or has specific technical properties to maximize our products' wellness benefits.

Visit our Sock School page to see the benefits of wearing compression socks!

We created our knee-high compression socks for women and men to feature a mild compression level of 8-15mmHg which make them extremely comfortable to wear all day, every day. They are perfect for nurses, expecting mothers, teachers, travelers, athletes, service industry professionals, adventurers, those who sit all day, those who stand all day, etc. Basically, it’s great for everyone. 

While our products are registered with the FDA (which does not indicate endorsement/approval of the product), they do not qualify as medical products because they are below the 25mmHg level.
