Support stockings from Funq Wear are developed with a focus on fit, feel and long-term function. All support stockings have graduated compression that promotes blood circulation and provides support to the legs in everyday life. They are carefully tested by women and men and designed to work over time, with thoughtful material choices that feel gentle on the skin and safe to wear, day after day.
What are the benefits of compression stockings?
It may only be when your legs feel swollen and sore that you start to think about using compression stockings. We recommend that you use them as a preventative measure, for example if there is a family history of varicose veins, or when you are going on a flight and there is a risk of your legs swelling.
A graduated compression stocking helps the veins push blood up towards your heart. The pressure is highest at the ankle and decreases towards the knee. The stocking increases
blood circulation and reduces the risk of blood pooling in the legs, which causes tiredness and swollen legs and feet.
To get the most out of your compression stockings, it's important to get 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 stockings, which are available for both women and men, maintain a pressure between 15–18 mmHg and should provide the promised effect for mild and light complaints. You can
use them to combat leg fatigue and reduce swelling and early venous insufficiency. Venous insufficiency means that the venous valves do not function optimally, which can lead to water swelling as well as varicose veins.
Compression stockings for all occasions
We have compression stockings for all clothing styles and occasions, whether you're flying, working, exercising or going to a party! And they're great for daily use, all year round.

Do you want a pair of socks that stay on comfortably all day long without squeezing and are easy to put on? Then you should try our ORIGINAL SUPPORT SOCKS. They are perfect for traveling, long walks, at work and for those who are pregnant. Originals are available in both organic cotton and in frizzy and warming merino wool, ORIGINAL OUTDOOR.
If you are looking for a thin and elegant support stocking, we highly recommend LACE and HARMONY, our knee socks in nylon. Enjoy LACE with its lovely shine and beautiful lace edge or why not HARMONY with its wide and soft cuff? And yes, it's just as good as it sounds!
You can also use support stockings or compression stockings when you exercise. During exercise to counteract lactic acid but perhaps especially afterwards for recovery. Support stockings increase blood circulation thanks to the higher pressure around the ankle which then decreases towards the knee. After a hard workout you should increase
blood flow to the muscles to prevent 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, your blood circulation needs a little extra boost. Increased blood circulation provides relief for swollen and aching legs when you sit still for a long time, for example at work or during a flight.
The higher up the leg a support stocking sits, the higher up the leg it helps. Long stockings that go above the knee are more effective than those that end below the knee or further down the ankle.
Choose compression stockings instead of regular socks
Today, compression stockings look almost like regular socks. They come in a range of stylish colors, cool patterns and different materials that suit all clothing styles.

Natural and climate-friendly materials on
compression stockings
In our range of support socks you will find stylish ankle socks, knee socks and calf support in the form of support socks without a foot.
We try to use organic and recycled materials as much as possible. All our organic cotton compression stockings are knitted from GOTS certified organic cotton. The wool compression stockings are
knitted in merino wool. And the calf supports in recycled polyamide.
Our nylon stockings are made from regular nylon, as it is difficult to get hold of recycled polyamide at the moment for a sustainable range. However, we are keeping an eye on
and ears open.
