Plus Size Compression Socks

Compression socks built for plus size legs and wide calves, in sizes L through 5XL. Most standard compression socks stop fitting around a 17 to 18 inch calf. Ours are cut wider through the calf and ankle, with a roomier toe box, so they go on without a fight and stay up without a tight band digging in at the top.

Every pair gives graduated 20-30 mmHg compression: firmest at the ankle and easing up the leg. Pick closed toe socks in 9 colors, toeless socks for sandals and warm days, or save with 2 and 3 pair packs. Prefer something gentler that zips on? Try our 15-20 mmHg zipper socks.

How to find your size

Measure around the widest part of your calf in the morning, before your legs have been on your feet all day. Calf size matters more than shoe size. If you land between two sizes, the smaller size gives firmer support. Each product page has a full size chart.

Frequently asked questions

Do compression socks work for plus size legs?

Yes, when they are sized for your calf. A sock that is too small rolls down and pinches. A wide calf sock spreads the pressure evenly, so you get graduated support without a tight band at the knee.

Is 20-30 mmHg too much?

20-30 mmHg is a firm level that many people wear for work, travel and long days on their feet. If you are new to compression or have a medical condition, ask your doctor which level is right for you.

How many hours a day can I wear them?

Most people put them on in the morning and take them off before bed. Take them off to sleep unless your doctor tells you otherwise.

Do you make plus size compression socks for men?

Yes. Sizing is by calf measurement, not gender, and black, navy and brown work for anyone.

How do I put on tight compression socks?

Turn the sock inside out down to the heel, slide your foot in, then roll the leg up gradually. Rubber gloves give you extra grip.
