Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between NYG compression socks and other brands? +

Most compression socks are stiff, clinical, and a pain to wear. NYG socks are the opposite—feather-soft, easy to put on, and actually stylish. We use real compression (15–20 mmHg) that supports tired legs, swollen ankles, and dizzy days—without the squeeze fight. Designed by people who’ve been there.

What do compression socks feel like?+

They are 15 – 20 mmHg, which means that they are a light compression. This is usually more than enough for people looking for pain relief and reduction in dizziness; however, if you have been prescribed a specific compression level you should follow your doctor’s guidance.

What size are NYG compression socks? +

At the moment we only do one size of compression sock. They are between UK 3–14 (foot length 22-31.3cm). Just click on the 'size chart' button above the add to cart button.)

The maximum calf size is 15 inches (circumference). You can use the size chart to check that they will fit you.We are committed to offering inclusive, unisex compression socks but the world of sizing hasn’t yet caught up.

For the purposes of this chart we've used what would normally be referred to as "women's" shoe sizes. If you typically wear men's shoes or have wider feet, we recommend using the foot length as a guide.

If you are looking for a larger size compression sock we don’t currently have these but you can sign up to the plus size waitlist and will be notified when we increase the size range.

Are NYG compression socks easy to put on?+

Yes—NYG socks are designed to be easy to put on, even with limited mobility or low energy. The soft, stretchy fabric slides on without a fight—no tugging, no wrestling, no tight cuffs. Support that works with your body, not against it.

How long can I wear NYG compression socks for?+

You can wear them for long stretches—some people even wear them in bed. But we recommend giving your legs a break overnight unless your doctor says otherwise.

Don’t wear the same pair more than a day. Swap them out daily and wash before re-wearing to keep the compression doing its job.

If you’re new to compression (especially with POTS), start slow—try an hour at first, then build up. Some bodies need a bit of time to adjust. That’s totally normal.

Can I wear these socks for long-haul flights?+

Yes, our compression socks are perfect for long flights! They help improve circulation, reduce swelling, and prevent discomfort during long periods of sitting.

Can I wear these socks if I have diabetes, varicose veins, or edema?+

Yes, NYG socks offer gentle 15–20 mmHg compression, which is often suitable for people with diabetes, varicose veins, or mild edema. They’re soft, non-restrictive, and easy to wear, even on sensitive days. That said, if you have medical concerns, it’s always best to check with your doctor first.

How do I care for NYG compression socks?+

For best long-term results, wash at 30 degrees, with similar colours, do not tumble try. Wash them after each use, i.e. do not use them on consecutive days without washing them first. Turn inside out before washing. Avoid bleech and fabric softner.

    I wasn’t sure if these socks would work well and I thought the price was a lot but I bought some during a sale and I was very quickly proven wrong.
    I didn’t realise how bad my sensory issues were with my cheaper compression socks until I wore these for a day and forgot they were on.
    They do their job really well and are a lot softer than other compression socks but they do get some pilling on the fabric around toes after washing them.
    I would recommend not your grandmas for amyone else

    At long last some compression socks that don’t make me look like an invalid! Comfortable to wear too!

  4. NI

    I love my new shark socks. A wee surprise when I cross my legs and a laugh with friends about the sharks. Added benefits are the softness of the socks and excellent support and warmth for my legs!

    Love them, the designs are amazing and great compression socks.

    I love NYG compression socks. I need to wear them for medical reasons but they’re fun too. Wearing them doesn’t remind me that I’m poorly unlike traditional medical compression socks. Adding these sharks to my wardrobe will mean even more fun choices when I leave the house.

  2. Fred James Roome (verified owner)

    Very soft fabric. In love with the design. Fit my rather clubby legs without pinching. 10/10

  3. Ana Irmanova (verified owner)

    These socks are very cute, comfy and give good compression, highly recommended

  6. Niamh Stephenson (verified owner)

    These are really comfortable and they stay up. I have a fair few pairs from NYG and they’re all great quality, they wash well and stay up

  7. Estelle Campbell (verified owner)

    Simply delightful! The socks are very comfortable and relatively easy to put on. They’re very soft, go great with my ankle foot orthotics, and I just really love the designs!

  8. Georgia Nadin (verified owner)

    I bought 4 pairs of these as flight socks for myself and my partner for when we go on our honeymoon as we’ve got over 20 hours flying! They’re really comfortable unlike normal flight socks and so pretty too!

    Shark Compression Socks

  12. Gayle Olsen (verified owner)

    I bought two pairs of compression socks. I bought then in both Shark and Dinosaur patterns. They are so comfortable and supportive, and they have enabled me to stand, with minimum discomfort for up to 10 hours. There is now genuinely no pain at the end of the day. Thank you. Happy that I bought them

  13. Abbie Hooper (verified owner)

    Super comfy with good support & a very cute design! I currently have both the dinosaur & shark patterns. 🙂

  14. Gina Michael (verified owner)

    I am delighted with my socks, bought 5 pairs as a first purchase. I have suffered with ankle swelling from arthritis, work for the nhs so am on my feet or sitting at a desk for a long time, Monday to Friday. Literally, from the first time of wearing these socks, my legs feel lighter, cooler and 80% less swelling in the evenings. I have told my colleagues they need to try them, they are not restricting at all, the one size is great, I will be buying more.

  15. Amy Wallace (verified owner)

    Great socks, very comfortable. Fit well, and not too long. Would definitely recommend

  16. Vivian Carvalho (verified owner)

    I love my socks! Super cute and fun design and the compression level is perfect. Delivery was fast and the socks are very soft. Will be buying more.

  17. Kätlin Randla (verified owner)

    Love them, probably the most comfortable socks ive ever owned 😀

  18. MISS C J CAMPBELL (verified owner)

    I have fibromyalgia and my blood pressure is on the low side, and I’ve found these socks really helpful! Definitely worth trying out if you’re prone to pain in your legs and feet and/or fainting

  19. Emily Aldred (verified owner)

    My daughter is 18 with ME and didn’t want to wear “boring” compression socks. Not your Grandma’s socks are both effective and look great. Everyone comments on the great designs and she is not self conscious about wearing them. She now owns multiple pairs. Highly recommended

  20. ABI OAKES (verified owner)

    Really good quality fabric and such a pretty pattern, so proud to show them off.

  21. Logan Thomas (verified owner)

    I’m 17 years old with EDS and POTS, with low blood pressure, which these socks have really helped with. They are such good quality and really comfortable, which I was worried about since I typically have sensory issues regarding the seams of my socks. Since I’m young, I really didn’t want boring compression socks, especially since I’m fed up of wearing ugly joint supports. So I’m really grateful these socks exist. They look so stylish!! Will definitely be buying more in the future!

  22. Anna Jurek (verified owner)

    I have varicose vains any my legs always feel swollen and uncomfortable during the flights or a long train journey. I used these socks last week for a long flight and my feet and legs felt amazing during and after the flight! Lovely design and a good quality. I have already recommended them to my friend!

  23. Malechi Smith (verified owner)

    I’ve been looking for some compression socks for a while but have always been put off by the price. These socks feel amazing, look great, and are way more affordable than others. I struggle wearing some socks because of sensory issues, but these are very soft and don’t make me feel uncomfortable or itchy. I would HUGELY reccomend this brand in general, especially for those starting out wearing compression.

    My only issue is that there is only one level of compression available. I wanted some of a lower level anyway as I didn’t want to overdo it so these are very suitable, but I would love to repurchase in a higher level for when I need more compression, but that isn’t an option.

  24. Mairi Gough (verified owner)

    I bought 2 pairs, different designs. I love the fun designs, and after 12hrs on my feet at work, I had zero swelling in my ankles. They were very comfortable. The ordering process was simple and they were delivered through my letterbox in good time. Very pleased!

  25. Sally Baldwin (verified owner)

    Comfort and humour all in one!

  26. Jade Lower (verified owner)

    The sharks are super cute. They’re easier to get on than my other compression socks and are super comfy and soft! They have helped ease the pain of my varicose veins/dvt

    Wish they had more cool patterns like the smiley face ones ( waiting for these to come back in stock)

  27. Natali di domenico (verified owner)

    Amazing socks! They work so well and the design it’s the best! Buying more for sure!

  28. Lauren Garden (verified owner)

    Has really helped with my heath problems and love the design. One star is lost however as one sock arrived with slight bobbling (which I easily removed). The fabric bobbles easily. I hope they still last a long time regardless – we will see!

  29. Karoline Munro (verified owner)

    Not as good in real life, and compression could definitely be more. One size fits a doesn’t work here I think

  30. rachel westhead (verified owner)

    Your socks are totally fabulous! I bought them for my Mum, who is suffering with lymphoedema while having her chemotherapy, and not only do they work amazingly well at keeping her swollen feet and legs in check, they also fit the “I’m not wearing anything that looks like a surgical appliance” brief! 😃 We couldn’t be more impressed or happy with your socks. Thanks so much for making such a difficult time, just that bit more manageable.

  31. CatLadyCat (verified owner)

    I bought a few pairs of these to take on holiday where I did a lot of walking around a city. They were superb, it definitely allowed me to walk more without sore legs or swelling. They fit well and are comfortable.
