Knee- and ankle-high socks are typically more comfortable to wear and easier to put on than thigh-high compression socks.
Remember to give your legs a break! Dr. Savoy says you shouldn’t wear compression socks for more than 12 hours a day, and it’s best to take them off at night when you’re in bed. This is when your legs are least likely to swell, and it gives your legs a chance to breathe and prevents the likelihood of developing a skin infection.
