What are the best compression socks for men?
Whether you are working from home or back in the office, sitting for too long can cause problems with circulation and swelling. Sedentary lifestyles are often fostered by student life and desk jobs, but it's about the worst thing for your leg and foot health, and your blood circulation as a whole. Going through a long period of sitting in one position can contribute to poor blood flow and really drain you of energy by day's end. When I'm working from home, I don't always prioritize movement. Even though I enjoy the WFH life, most days tied to my desk end with ankle puffiness, foot numbness and swollen, tingly calves.
Yes, I could solve this problem by getting up and moving more throughout the day, but that's challenging on days when I have 4,000 words to write. On those days, I turn to a handy (er, leggy) tool called a compression sock.
A good pair of compression socks keeps swelling down by preventing fluid from building up in your lower leg -- this is basically how all compression clothing works. They apply pressure to your calves and ankles, which helps your blood vessels do their job. The constant pressure prevents blood vessels from expanding and blood from pooling. Acutely, fluid accumulation can cause discomfort in your legs, but over time, chronic pooling can weaken your veins and cause deformities -- physical inactivity is a leading cause of varicose veins due to the increased blood pressure in your legs.
After a few weeks of wearing compression socks every day during work, I found my calves to remain their normal size at the end of a long day, which is a welcomed revelation. Compression socks also prevent the icky pins-and-needles feeling that comes with fluid build-up and swelling. There are times when I like to feel like an actual human and wear real clothes , but I thoroughly enjoy the fact that I can wear pajama pants and a sports bra all day if that's how I'm feeling. But a quality pair of compression socks can go with anything. They can look sleek and professional under work slacks while while staving off swelling and discomfort. On days I want to look and feel my business best, I don't have to sacrifice foot, leg and ankle comfort or proper blood circulation to do it.
I've tried out more than 15 brands of compression socks, and these seven pairs I think are the ones worth trying. Before you buy though, you should consider whether you want mild compression, moderate compression or firm compression. You should also consider factors like whether the socks are made of a breathable fabric, if they have a seamless toe and any other comfort factor that you specifically require from your socks.
