At Levsox®, we believe in the power of compression socks to provide comfort, support, and improved circulation for people from all walks of life. Our mission is to make the benefits of compression socks accessible to everyone through our high-quality products, excellent customer service, and competitive pricing.
Our Story
Levsox® was founded in 2022 by John Smith, a nurse practitioner who witnessed firsthand the benefits of compression socks for his patients. However, John grew frustrated by how expensive and difficult to obtain quality compression socks were. He knew there had to be a better way to provide this helpful product to more people.
So, John leveraged his medical background and passion for helping others to launch Levsox®. His goal was simple – make thoughtfully designed, premium compression socks available directly to consumers at an affordable price.
In the few short months since our launch, Levsox® has helped tens of thousands of customers improve circulation, increase comfort, and reduce pain through our line of compression socks. And we are just getting started!
Our Compression Socks
Levsox® offers a wide selection of compression socks to meet diverse needs:
- Graduated Compression Socks – Available in light, medium, and firm compression, our graduated socks offer the most compression at the ankle and gradually decrease up the leg. This helps boost circulation in the feet and calves.
- Uniform Compression Socks – These socks apply a consistent level of compression from ankle to knee, benefiting people who experience swelling or pain throughout the leg.
- Compression Sleeves – For those looking for compression above the knee, our sleeves provide coverage and support from thigh to ankle.
- Plus Size Compression Socks – We proudly offer extended sizing with no compression compromise, so people of all shapes and sizes can experience the benefits.
- Open Toe Compression Socks – Ideal for warm weather or for use with slippers or sandals, our open toe socks allow toes to breathe.
All of our compression socks are made from high-quality materials like breathable cotton, moisture-wicking bamboo rayon, and durable spandex yarns. We use advanced knitting technologies to ensure accurate gradient compression.
Benefits of Compression Socks
At Levsox®, we’ve seen firsthand how compression socks can provide life-changing benefits:
- Increased Circulation – Compression socks gently squeeze the legs, helping blood in the veins circulate back to the heart. This improves oxygen flow throughout the body.
- Reduced Swelling – The graduated compression prevents blood and fluid from pooling in the feet and ankles, reducing uncomfortable swelling.
- Decreased Pain – By improving circulation and stability in the legs, compression socks can greatly reduce aches and pains.
- Enhanced Athletic Performance – More oxygen reaching muscles helps increase endurance, speed recovery, and reduce injuries.
- All-Day Comfort – Compression creates a massaging sensation that keeps legs feeling fresh and energized even after hours of standing or sitting.
- Faster Recovery – Doctors often recommend compression socks after surgery or medical procedures to help legs heal faster.
- Safer Travel – The circulation boost provided by compression socks reduces the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) associated with long flights or car rides.
No matter your reason for trying compression socks, we are confident they can help you feel better!

Compression Sock Sizing
To ensure the maximum benefits from compression socks, it’s crucial to get the right size. Ill-fitting socks either won’t provide enough compression or will feel uncomfortable.
At Levsox®, our sizing chart is based on your shoe size, calf circumference, and body height. This helps account for the many variables that affect fit.
We recommend measuring your calf circumference to identify whether you need regular or plus sizes. Measuring ankle to knee will determine if you need knee-high or thigh-high lengths.
If you are between sizes, sizing up is usually preferable to achieve the appropriate compression. Don’t hesitate to contact us for personalized sizing recommendations!
How to Wear Compression Socks
It takes a little practice to get the hang of putting on compression socks. But once you learn the technique, it’s quick and easy:
1. Turn the socks inside out – This prevents the compression areas from bunching up as you pull them on.
2. Slide over your toes and foot – Gathering the material as you pull up the sock.
3. Use both hands to unroll up your calf – Pulling and smoothing material up the leg.
4. Adjust the sock – Make sure there are no wrinkles and that compression feels even throughout.
5. Repeat on the other leg – Changing the order each time helps equalize wear.
Tips: Use a sock aid to more easily slide compression socks over the heel. Apply a thin lotion layer to help socks glide on smoother. Point toes upward as you pull on socks to ease strain on calves.
It takes practice, but soon you’ll be able to get your socks on effortlessly!
Caring for Your Compression Socks
Follow these simple guidelines to get the longest life from your Levsox® compression socks:
- Machine wash cold – Hot water can damage the elasticity. Use mild detergent.
- No bleach or fabric softener – These can impede the sock’s compression.
- Hang dry – Lay socks flat or hang vertically. Avoid tight clothespins.
- Don’t overwear – Give socks a day’s rest between wears to retain compression.
- Rotate pairs – Switching up your socks helps them wear evenly and last longer.
With proper care, Levsox® socks should provide comfortable compression for up to six months. We stand behind our quality and want you to get the most from your purchase.
Compression Sock Conditions and Contraindications
While generally safe for most wearers, there are some important contraindications to keep in mind:
- Compression socks are not recommended for people with undiagnosed leg pain or known circulation disorders – this can worsen symptoms. Seek medical advice first.
- People with diabetes or sensitivity issues should use caution and monitor skin closely for any irritation.
- Anyone who has difficulties putting socks on themselves may require assistance for proper positioning and safety.
- Compression is not advised immediately after surgery – ask your doctor when it is safe to resume wearing compression socks.
Listen to your body and remove compression socks if you experience any numbness, tingling, increased pain, or skin issues. Discontinue use and consult your medical provider if problems persist.
