support socks

Leg pressure garments

Support socks are hosiery designed to apply gentle pressure to the legs, promoting blood circulation and reducing swelling or fatigue.

They're worn by people who stand for long periods, travelers on long flights, or those with circulation problems.

Also called compression socks, though support socks typically offer lighter pressure than medical-grade compression stockings.
