Compression socks that actually look like dress socks — that is the core promise of Jobst for Men, and the 20-30 mmHg Knee High delivers on it. The attractive ribbed design with 3-D knit structure is engineered to pass as everyday hosiery while providing firm graduated compression from ankle to knee. The comfortable band stays up without binding, flat toe seams and a roomy toe section keep things comfortable all day, and the reinforced heel extends product life through regular wear. An anti-bacterial additive reduces odor, and the Special Moisture-Transport System with soft micro and multi-fiber yarns keeps feet dryer during extended wear. Available in Classic Black and Khaki, in sizes Small through X-Large and Large Full Calf. Latex free. Closed toe.
Measure ankle circumference and calf circumference to select the correct size.
What does 20-30 mmHg compression mean?
mmHg stands for millimeters of mercury, the unit used to measure compression pressure in hosiery. 20-30 mmHg is classified as firm compression — the second level above mild (15-20 mmHg) and below extra firm (30-40 mmHg). At this level, the sock applies meaningful graduated pressure that is greatest at the ankle and gradually decreases up the leg, which helps support venous return and reduce swelling. This compression level is commonly recommended for moderate leg swelling, varicose veins, and prolonged periods of standing or sitting. Always consult your healthcare provider to confirm the appropriate compression level for your specific condition.
How do I measure for the correct size?
Measure your ankle circumference at the narrowest point just above the ankle bone, and your calf circumference at the widest point of the calf. Use both measurements together with the size guide above to select the correct size. If your measurements fall between sizes, consult with your healthcare provider or a certified fitter. For users with a calf circumference of 18" to 24", the Large Full Calf (LFC) size is available in Black and provides a proper fit without the compression being compromised by an undersized sock.
When is the best time to put on compression socks?
Compression socks are most effective when put on in the morning before getting out of bed or shortly after waking, before leg swelling has had a chance to develop from gravity and activity. If you wait until later in the day when swelling has already occurred, the socks will be harder to put on and may not provide the same level of graduated compression. A sock donning aid can make the process easier, particularly for users with limited hand strength or flexibility.
How should compression socks be washed and cared for?
Machine wash in warm water on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low, or hand wash and lay flat to dry. Avoid using bleach, fabric softeners, or high heat, which can break down the elastic fibers and reduce the compression level over time. With proper care, compression socks typically maintain their therapeutic compression for approximately 3 to 6 months of regular daily wear before replacement is recommended.
