How to Measure for Compression Socks & Stockings
Compression Size Chart and Measuring - VARCOH ®
Each brand of compression stockings comes with its own unique sizing chart. A medium size in one brand may not necessarily correspond to a medium in another brand. Therefore, correctly measuring your legs is crucial. Below, you’ll find detailed instructions accompanied by helpful tips to ensure accuracy.
It’s recommended to take measurements early in the morning. This timing is essential because legs tend to swell throughout the day, even if the swelling isn’t immediately noticeable.

How to measure your legs for knee-high compression socks
① Get started first thing in the morning, before your legs have starting to swell. Otherwise, you may choose a size that’s too large.
Note: If you or your doctor can’t measure your legs until later than the day, they can be elevated, bandaged, or pumped to reduce swelling.
② Ankle Measurement
Measure the circumference of your ankle by placing the measuring tape at the narrowest part of the ankle and wrapping it around to make a circle. This should always be your first measurement.
③ Calf Measurement
Find the widest part of your calf and measure the circumference.
④ Calf Length
Sit on a chair with your legs at a 90-degree angle. Measure the distance fro the bend in your knee to the floor.
