Compression socks for everyday wear, travel & sport

Compression stockings: Find the right styles for everyday life, travel and sport

Compression stockings are often worn when you want a pleasantly supportive feel in everyday life - for example during long days at the office, when standing or sitting for extended periods, or when you're on the go. The compression effect may stimulate circulation and can help you feel more energised. FALKE combines precise fits with high-quality materials and a strong focus on comfort, so compression stockings can be integrated into your daily routine with ease and style. In the FALKE range you will find different options - from shorter compression socks to knee-high styles - as well as variants developed specifically for travel or sporting activities.

Compression stockings or compression socks - what's the difference?

The terms compression stockings and compression socks are often used interchangeably. In everyday language, “compression sock” often refers to shorter styles, while “compression stocking” more often describes knee-high versions. What matters most is the length and feel you prefer - and what you mainly want to use them for.

How to choose the right compression socks

To ensure compression stockings fit comfortably and work well in everyday wear, three criteria can help:

Length & use

Short: easy to combine, ideal for everyday wear or shorter sessions.
Knee-high: a classic look, often chosen for longer wear or if you prefer the fit over the calf.

Materials & feel

Choose materials that feel comfortable and suit your everyday routine. If you wear them for many hours, comfort and high-quality workmanship are essential.

Fit & sizing

A secure fit matters so the socks/stockings do not slip or dig in. Use the size chart and choose a size that feels comfortable to wear.

Choose by occasion: travel, sports socks or tights

FALKE stands for precise fits, careful workmanship and long-lasting quality. Compression stockings should not only be functional - they should also feel good and be easy to style. Discover different lengths and designs, and choose the option that matches your needs and personal feel.
