FAQs
What does 15-20 mmHg mean?
This indicates the level of pressure the sock applies. 15-20 mmHg is considered 'moderate' compression, which is ideal for daily support and preventing swelling.
Can I wear these socks while sleeping?
It is generally recommended to remove compression socks before bed unless specifically advised by a medical professional.
Are these socks machine washable?
While hand washing is preferred to maintain the elasticity of the fabric, you may machine wash on a delicate cycle in a mesh laundry bag, though air drying is strictly required.
How long do the compression benefits last?
With proper care—avoiding heat and abrasive chemicals—the compression properties should remain effective for several months of regular use.
Are these suitable for people with sensitive skin?
Yes, the use of bamboo fabric makes these socks breathable and naturally softer than many synthetic alternatives, which is beneficial for sensitive skin.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty pulling the socks on
Ensure your skin is completely dry and use a folding method—gather the sock down to the heel before inserting your foot, then gradually unroll the fabric upward.
Socks feel too tight or constricting
Verify that you have selected the correct size based on your calf circumference. If the cuff feels too tight, ensure it is not folded over itself.
Material pilling after several washes
This is often caused by machine washing. Switch to hand washing and ensure the socks are not rubbing against abrasive surfaces or Velcro fasteners in your laundry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Smug Compression Socks, it is important to handle them with care. When putting them on, gather the sock material and slide your foot in first, then gradually smooth the fabric up the leg to avoid overstretching the fibers. For maintenance, it is highly recommended to hand wash the socks in cool water with a mild detergent and air dry them flat. Avoid using harsh chemicals or tumble drying, as high heat can damage the elastic properties that provide the graduated compression. Ensure you have selected the appropriate size for your calf and ankle measurements to guarantee the mmHg rating remains accurate.
