The only ones I wear for a full shift

Tried loads of compression socks. The only ones that relieve the achy feeling and reduce swelling post shift.

Beautifully packaged

The compression is spot on for my needs and having the fancy pattern is lovely. I wasn’t sure if they would be uncomfortable or bother me, but no problems so far. They washed fine.

Absolutely loves them

Loves that they’re not so tight that they cut off circulation like some others have done, that they’re comfortably knee high for her, and most importantly, they’re cute!

Frequently Asked Questions

Most compression socks are stiff, clinical, and a pain to wear. NYG socks are the opposite—feather-soft, easy to put on, and actually stylish. We use real compression (15–20 mmHg) that supports tired legs, swollen ankles, and dizzy days—without the squeeze fight. Designed by people who’ve been there.

They are 15 – 20 mmHg, which means that they are a light compression. This is usually more than enough for people looking for pain relief and reduction in dizziness; however, if you have been prescribed a specific compression level you should follow your doctor’s guidance.

At the moment we only do one size of compression sock. They are between UK 3–14 (foot length 22-31.3cm). Just click on the 'size chart' button above the add to cart button.)

The maximum calf size is 15 inches (circumference). You can use the size chart to check that they will fit you.We are committed to offering inclusive, unisex compression socks but the world of sizing hasn’t yet caught up.

For the purposes of this chart we've used what would normally be referred to as "women's" shoe sizes. If you typically wear men's shoes or have wider feet, we recommend using the foot length as a guide.

If you are looking for a larger size compression sock we don’t currently have these but you can sign up to the plus size waitlist and will be notified when we increase the size range.

Yes! NYG socks are designed to be easy to put on, even with limited mobility or low energy. The soft, stretchy fabric slides on without a fight, no tugging, no wrestling, no tight cuffs. Support that works with your body, not against it.

You can wear them for long stretches—some people even wear them in bed. But we recommend giving your legs a break overnight unless your doctor says otherwise.

Don’t wear the same pair more than a day. Swap them out daily and wash before re-wearing to keep the compression doing its job.

If you’re new to compression (especially with POTS), start slow—try an hour at first, then build up. Some bodies need a bit of time to adjust. That’s totally normal.

Yes, our compression socks are perfect for long flights! They help improve circulation, reduce swelling, and prevent discomfort during long periods of sitting.

Yes, NYG socks offer gentle 15–20 mmHg compression, which is often suitable for people with diabetes, varicose veins, or mild edema. They’re soft, non-restrictive, and easy to wear, even on sensitive days. That said, if you have medical concerns, it’s always best to check with your doctor first.

For best long-term results, wash at 30 degrees; wash similar colours separately; do not tumble dry. Wash them after each use; do not use them on consecutive days without washing first. Turn inside out before washing. Avoid bleach and fabric softener.

Excellent gift

I bought these for my daughter who has POTS and EDS. She loves them and wears them every day. I will buy more for myself as I have circulation problems.

Love these socks as they work so well and are much more comfortable than prescription ones and easier to get on and off My two daughters are loving them also and they are very pretty too !!!! xxx

Very comfortable

I bought the socks after reading a lot of reviews and in a search of compression socks that are comfortable to wear. I'm a pharmacist and I'm on my feet all day long so I developed some varicose veins. Sometimes my ankles get swollen. I tried long compression socks from different companies (not cheap ones) and they help but I feel some itching and the silicone dots on top sometimes make me develop small bruises or just fall down my legs so I end up not wearing them. With Not your grandma's I think I finally found compression socks that are soft on the skin and don't make me wanna scratch. They stay in their place all day long and I don't feel the need to remove them asap. The compression is enough for prophylaxis. My advice to you - do include some options for white socks without any pictures for us pharmacists and also nurses. As much as I like the happy patterns and colors, my boss wants me to wear white at work. Sometimes I also need a more minimalistic style of clothing. Do include a more boring line with some monochrome choices to choose from - like pure white, off white, beige, black, grey, etc.
