Funq Wear compression socks are developed with a focus on fit, feel, and long-term function. All compression socks have graduated compression that promotes blood circulation and provides support for the legs in everyday life. They have been carefully tested by women and men and are designed to function over time, with well-thought-out material choices that feel gentle on the skin and are comfortable to wear, day after day.
What are the benefits of compression socks?
It may only be when your legs feel swollen and sore that you start to consider using compression socks. We recommend using them as a preventative measure, for example, if there is a family history of varicose veins, or when you are flying and there is a risk of your legs swelling.
A sock with graduated compression helps the veins push blood back towards your heart. The pressure is highest at the ankle and gradually decreases towards the knee. The sock increases blood circulation and reduces the risk of blood pooling in the legs, which can lead to tired and swollen legs and feet.
To get the maximum effect from your compression socks, it is important that you have the right size. Measure your ankle and calf first thing in the morning, before your legs swell. Then compare with our size chart.
Our compression socks, available for both women and men, maintain a pressure between 15–18 mmHg and are designed to provide the promised effect for mild and minor discomfort. You can use them to counteract leg fatigue, reduce swelling, and address early venous insufficiency. Venous insufficiency means that the venous valves do not function optimally, which can lead to fluid retention as well as varicose veins.
Compression socks for all occasions
We have compression socks for all styles and occasions, whether you are flying, working, exercising, or going to a party! And they are best used daily, all year round.

You can also use compression socks or compression stockings when you exercise. During exercise to counteract lactic acid, but perhaps most importantly afterwards for recovery. Support socks increase blood circulation thanks to the higher pressure around the ankle, which then decreases towards the knee. After a tough workout, you should increase blood flow to the muscles to prevent muscle soreness the next day. So put on a pair of support socks after your workout and you will notice that your legs feel much better the next day!
Give your blood circulation a little extra help
When your legs feel tired, heavy, and swollen, blood circulation needs a little extra boost. Increased blood circulation, among other things, provides relief for swollen and aching legs when you sit still for an extended period, for example, at work or during a flight.
The higher up on the leg a compression sock sits, the higher up on the leg it provides support. Long socks that go over the knee are more effective than if they end below the knee or lower down on the ankle.
Choose compression socks instead of regular socks
Today, compression socks look almost like regular socks. They come in a variety of stylish colors, cool patterns, and different materials that suit all styles of clothing. So why not be a little extra kind to your feet and legs? Mix and match your outfit while taking care of your legs! Read more about why you should wear compression socks.
Natural materials and climate-friendly materials for compression socks
In our range of compression socks, you will find stylish ankle socks, knee-high socks, and calf supports in the form of footless compression socks.
We try to use organic and recycled materials as much as possible. All our organic cotton compression socks are knitted from GOTS-certified organic cotton. The wool compression socks are knitted from merino wool. And the calf supports are made from recycled polyamide.
Our nylon socks are made from conventional nylon, as it is difficult to source recycled polyamide for a consistent product range at the moment. However, we are keeping our eyes and ears open.
