Frequently asked questions
Who are custom compression socks for?
Custom compression socks are for anyone on their feet all day, sitting for long stretches, or managing daily leg fatigue and circulation concerns: runners and athletes, nurses and retail workers, frequent flyers, and pregnant women. Because they're built to your exact calf and leg measurements, you get targeted, clinically-inspired graduated compression that fits better than standard S/M/L sizing. Once your surgeon has cleared you for daily wear, StriaFit also provides custom long-term circulation support during active recovery. See our guide to long-term circulation support and active recovery.
What compression level do I need?
Compression level is measured in mmHg.
- 8 to 15 mmHg: everyday comfort
- 15 to 20 mmHg: travel and standing jobs
- 20 to 30 mmHg: clinically-inspired support for chronic leg fatigue and daily edema
- 30 to 40 mmHg+: highest support, for daily wear once cleared by your doctor
Not sure? Check with your doctor, especially if you have an existing condition.
How are custom compression socks different from regular ones?
Standard compression socks use fixed sizing, which can mean uneven pressure. Custom compression socks are built from your own measurements for graduated compression that fits correctly from ankle to calf.
How do I get measured?
No tape measure needed. A quick 3D scan captures your ankle, calf, and leg measurements, so your custom compression socks fit your exact shape.
Are custom compression socks FSA/HSA eligible?
Yes, 100% FSA eligible and HSA eligible. Our clinically-inspired, custom knit compression qualifies for full reimbursement, so it's 0 out of pocket for you. We also generate your LMN instantly.
How long do compression socks last?
About 3 to 6 months with regular wear. Hand wash or use a gentle cold cycle, air dry, and skip the fabric softener.
Can I wear compression socks every day?
Yes, for most people, daily wear supports circulation and helps with everyday leg fatigue. If you have recently had surgery or have an active medical condition, consult your physician before wearing compression therapy.
