Viasox Size Chart (2024)

FAQs

How do you know what size socks you wear? ›

To measure your foot for socks, measure the length from the heel of your foot to the tip of your longest toe. The measurement in inches correlates to your sock size. For example, if your foot is 10 inches long, a sock size 9-11 should fit you comfortably.

VARICOSE VEINS: These compression socks help repair and prevent twisted, bulging varicose veins; therefore are an excellent option for people looking for everyday relief.

Whether you're looking for diabetic socks, compression socks, pain relief creams or orthopedic shoes, Viasoxhas you fully covered.

If the socks are too tight, they can constrict blood flow, cause discomfort, and in severe cases, lead to bruising or other skin damage. If the socks are too big or loose, they won't provide the necessary level of compression, causing the hose to slip down your leg, bunch, or twist, which can be uncomfortable.

You can wear your compression socks all day by putting them on when getting dressed in the morning, and take them off before bed (unless your doctor advises otherwise).

The socks you wear have a substantial impact on your feet. Tight socks should be avoided because they cause your ankles and feet to swell. It also creates a problem with your circulation. Wearing loose socks is just as bad because they can cause toe rubbing and tripping.

If your shoe size is between size US 5-10 or European 36-41, you can easily wear 9-11 sock size. And if your shoe size is US 10+ or European 42+, get men's socks of size 10-13.

Bottom line: You want your socks to feel snug from toe to heel but not too tight that they leave an indentation. The socks shouldn't shift in your shoes when walking either. Check your sock drawer and discard any socks stretched out over time and any that may have a hole or two.

How much compression is in Viasox? ›

ENHANCE YOUR CIRCULATION : Compression socks provide 12-15 mmHg, they provide a comfortable and supportive fit from ankle to calf. Improving energy levels for running and athletic sports activities.

The answer is yes! No risks are associated with wearing mild compression socks 24 hours a day, including sleeping. We only recommend wearing a different pair of compression socks every day, as people with diabetes are more prone to risk of infection in their feet.

For the best care of your Viasox, we suggest hand washing them in cold water. We understand this might not be feasible for everyone, so if you opt for machine washing, use cold water and select a gentle cycle.

With their balance of comfort and functionality, Viasox compression socks gradually reduce swelling and pain, protect against injuries, and boost overall blood flow.

15-20 mmHg: Great for daily wear, travel, and sports. They help improve circulation without being too tight. 20-30 mmHg: Great for sports recovery, daily wear, medical recovery, and to manage mild symptoms of varicose and spider veins. Ideal for patients looking for more support.

Compression stockings of 20 mmHg or higher need to be prescribed by a physician. They are used for the treatment of various medical conditions, and should be used under the supervision of a doctor. The prescription for them needs to be renewed on an annual basis.

Stockings should feel snug, but not painfully tight. Mild compression, with lower numbers, is usually enough to keep you comfortable on your feet at work. You'll need higher numbers with a firmer fit to prevent DVT.

Support compression stockings are made available in multiple compression support levels. Most commonly compression support stockings come in mild (8-15 mmHg), Medium (15-20 mmHg), Firm (20-30 mmHg), X-Firm (30-40 mmHg) gradient compression levels.
