Need a solid pair of compression socks for your next run, flight, or a long day on your feet? These running compression socks combine graduated support with a breathable feel, making them a versatile knee-high option for athletes and travellers alike. They work equally well as everyday athletic compression socks or travel compression socks, with a full size and colour range covering compression socks for men and compression socks for women.

Why It Stands Out
  • Graduated 20–30mmHg compression — the support level found in top-tier compression socks, applying snug pressure from ankle to calf for runs, flights, and long days on your feet.
  • Breathable bamboo-blend fabric — keeps feet cool and dry whether you're using these as running socks or travel compression socks.
  • Reinforced arch support panel — extra structure right where your foot needs it.
  • Padded ankle zone — added cushioning around the ankle for comfort during longer wear.
  • Knee-high coverage — full support from foot to calf.
  • Broad size range, S/M to 5XL — a fit for nearly every leg size, whether you're after compression socks for men or compression socks for women.
  • 7 colours to choose from — pick a shade for training days or travel days.
  • Made for athletes and travellers alike — just as comfortable as athletic compression socks or travel compression socks.

Why It Stands Out

Where to Use It
  • Long-distance running and marathon training — the core use case behind these running compression socks.
  • Air travel and long car journeys — a reliable pick as travel compression socks for frequent flyers.
  • Gym sessions and training days — a trusted choice as athletic compression socks.
  • Cycling and hiking outings.
  • Everyday wear for long stretches of standing or sitting.
How It Works
  1. Check your shoe size and calf circumference against the size chart to find your fit.
  2. Pull the sock on smoothly from toe to knee, keeping the graduated compression even along your leg.
  3. The snug fit supports your calf and ankle through long runs, flights, or workdays on your feet.

Getting the Right Fit and Wearing Them
  1. Check your shoe size and calf circumference against the size chart.
  2. Pick your size — size down for a snugger performance fit, size up for a looser feel.
  3. Sit down and bunch the sock fabric before working it onto your foot.
  4. Pull the sock up gradually, smoothing out any bunching as you go.
  5. Line the heel pocket up with your heel before pulling the rest up your calf.
  6. Adjust until the compression feels even and snug, never tight or pinching.
  7. Take them off by rolling down from the top rather than pulling straight off.
  8. Hand or machine wash and air dry between wears.

Tip: Put these on first thing in the morning, before a long day of activity, for the easiest and most comfortable fit.

Care and Maintenance
  • Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle.
  • Air dry only — heat can break down the compression fibres.
  • Skip fabric softener, which reduces elasticity over time.
  • Store flat instead of folding tightly, to protect the compression fibres.
