Product Information
Full details
The Smug Compression Socks are designed for adults seeking relief from leg fatigue, swelling, and heaviness during extended periods of activity or inactivity. Featuring 15-20 mmHg graduated compression and a breathable bamboo-rich fabric, these socks promote healthy circulation, making them ideal for long-haul flights, office work, or strenuous exercise sessions. While they offer excellent support for most users, individuals with underlying circulatory conditions must consult a healthcare professional before use to ensure they are appropriate for their specific health needs.

FAQs
What does 15-20 mmHg mean?
This indicates the level of pressure the socks apply, which is considered moderate compression suitable for daily use to support circulation.
Can I wear these socks while sleeping?
Compression socks are generally intended for use while upright or active. Consult your doctor before wearing them while sleeping.
Are these socks machine washable?
Yes, they can be washed in cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals and high heat to keep the bamboo fibers and elastic in good condition.
Do I need a prescription to wear these?
No, these are standard compression socks. However, if you have a history of circulatory issues, please consult a healthcare professional first.
How often should I replace these socks?
Depending on frequency of use, they should be replaced when they lose their elasticity or show signs of wear, typically after several months of regular use.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel too tight or restrictive
Ensure the socks are properly pulled up and smoothed out; if they remain too tight, verify that your calf measurement falls within the recommended 35-48 cm range.
Socks slipping down during the day
Ensure the skin is clean and free of lotions or oils before putting them on, as these can reduce the friction of the cuff against your skin.
Skin irritation or redness
Check if the socks are the correct size and ensure they are not bunched up; if irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a professional.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve optimal performance, ensure you have selected the correct size; the L/XL size is intended for UK shoe sizes 6-8 (EU 39-42) with a calf circumference of 35-48 cm. When putting on the socks, gather the fabric and slide your foot in, then gently smooth the material upward over your calf to ensure an even distribution of compression.
For care, wash the socks in cool water with mild detergent to preserve the integrity of the elastic fibers. Air drying is recommended to extend the lifespan of the bamboo material and prevent the compression levels from degrading due to high heat in a tumble dryer. Always inspect the fabric periodically for signs of wear or thinning that might indicate a need for replacement.
