If Compression Socks Still Left Your Feet Swollen or Uncomfortable
Many people try compression socks hoping for relief, but still experience tightness, discomfort, or stop wearing them altogether.
You’re not alone — and it’s not because you chose the wrong size.
Why Compression Socks Don’t Always Feel Right
Most compression socks are designed around pressure levels, rather than how they feel to wear.
For many people, this can lead to tightness, heat, or discomfort — especially when worn for longer periods.
This doesn’t mean compression doesn’t work — it means the way compression is applied matters.
Imagine squeezing a toothpaste tube in the middle.
The pressure doesn’t disappear — it gets pushed downward.
In a similar way, when compression is applied only to the calf, fluid can be encouraged downward into the foot.
This is why some people still experience swelling or uncomfortable feet even while wearing compression socks.
Once you’ve felt it, it makes sense.
A Different Approach to Compression Socks
Kensington Compression Socks are designed with balanced, graduated compression that starts at the foot and eases gently upward.
Rather than concentrating pressure in one area, this approach supports circulation along the lower leg more evenly.
The result is compression that feels more natural to wear — especially over longer periods.
Designed to Be Comfortable Enough to Keep Wearing
- Made from soft, breathable materials — not stiff or plastic‑feeling fabrics
- Easier to put on and take off than many traditional compression socks
- Designed for longer periods of wear, not just short use
- Suitable for everyday wear, work, and travel
Many people stop wearing compression socks because they’re uncomfortable.
Comfort isn’t a bonus — it’s what makes compression effective in the first place.
