This is an excellent question and must be done correctly in order to make sure you receive compression socks that fit appropriately. As stated before, compression socks that are too tight or too loose will be a big problem. Correct measurements will ensure you feel great every day and don’t waste time and money with returns and re-orders.
Supplies Needed
✓Paper
✓Pencil or Pen
✓Cloth Measuring Tape
Start with the measurement of the circumference of your ankle. You want to measure just above the ankle bone, at the smallest part of your ankle. Make sure the measuring tape is straight when wrapped around the ankle and write down the measurement.
Next, you will want to measure your calf. Find the widest part of your calf and wrap the cloth measuring tape around. Here again, you want to make sure the measuring tape is flat and level around the calf. Take note of the measurement and write it down also.
Finally, you will want to measure the length of your calf. To do this you will want to be sitting down with your foot flat on the floor. You will measure from where the bend in your knee is all the way to the floor. Make note of this measurement and write it down.
Now that you have all the measurements you can check out socks and know you are ordering the correct size. Sizing really matters and accurate measurements can make a huge difference. If you are having a hard time, reach out and ask a friend or loved one to help with the measurements to make sure they are correct.
