Jobst Compression Socks, Travel Socks Knee High

JOBST Travel Socks Knee High – 15–20 mmHg Class 1 Compression

JOBST Travel Socks Knee High, 15–20 mmHg Class 1 graduated compression socks, are designed to support venous circulation and help manage tired, aching legs and mild lower-leg swelling during prolonged sitting, standing or travel, when clinically appropriate.

Designed for travellers, commuters and people who spend extended periods sitting or standing, these knee-high compression socks combine graduated compression with a classic ribbed appearance. The stated compression level provides greater pressure at the ankle, with decreasing pressure towards the knee, subject to the manufacturer's specifications and correct garment fit.

Technical & Product Specifications

Sizing & Measurement Reference Guide

Correct sizing is essential when choosing graduated compression socks. Measure both your ankle and calf circumference before selecting your size.

Take your measurements first thing in the morning, before getting up and moving around, where possible. This helps reduce the effect that daily activity and swelling may have on your measurements.

Important: The measurements above are reproduced from the supplied product information. Confirm the current manufacturer sizing chart for this exact JOBST Travel Socks model before publishing or selecting a size. Shoe sizes are a supplementary guide and should not replace the required circumference measurements.

• Measure the ankle at the narrowest point above the ankle bone.
• Measure the calf at its widest point.
• Measure both legs if their circumferences differ.
• Do not select a smaller size to obtain stronger compression.
• If the socks cause pain, numbness, unusual skin colour changes or excessive tightness, remove them and seek appropriate medical advice.
