Compression socks for hiking

30 socks here are knit to squeeze the foot and leg, from Alpacas of Montana, CEP, Falke, Sockwell and Swiftwick, at 12–16 mmHg, 14–16 mmHg, 15–20 mmHg and 20–30 mmHg as each maker prints it. A higher mmHg squeezes harder. These are the makers’ figures for hiking; if you wear compression for a medical condition, ask your doctor which level you need.

Size compression socks from the maker’s own chart; some charts ask for your calf measurement as well as your shoe size, and a sock that is too tight or too loose does not give the printed pressure.

Before you buy

Every brand prints its own size chart, and a medium at one maker is not a medium at another. Open the size chart for the brand you choose, or use the size finder with the exact model. Then check the heel, toes and cuff in your own shoes with the fit checklist.

Washing settings differ by maker too: the care lookup gives each model’s own instruction.
