Your socks should not be what you’re thinking about while running. That’s why Nurse Yard designed our compression socks for runners to provide continuous support in the areas you need it most while staying in place.


When you’re wearing Nurse Yard’s compression socks for running, you’ll be able to focus on your form and breathing and not your uncomfortable socks. 


Some benefits of our compression socks for running include:


  • Consistent, graduated compression to your ankle and calf
  • Gentle support for your arches to prevent strain
  • No-slip liner, so you won’t have to adjust them constantly

The best part is our compression socks come with a risk-free 60-day guarantee. Wear our running socks for 60 days to see if they work for you. If you don’t like them, return them for a full refund.  


How Our Compressions Socks for Runners are Different

Runners’ biggest complaints about their compression socks are they’re either too tight or fall down. We’ve solved them with our wave design knit pattern. This style of knitting is just snug enough to stay in place without feeling restrictive or binding. It’s also long-lasting, making them easy on your wallet and on your feet. 


We’ve also added cushioning in all the right places to protect your ankles, the back of your heel, and the pressure points on your feet from rubbing. You can’t run on blistered feet, and you won't have to try with Nurse Yard’s compression socks for runners.  



Risk Free 60 Day Guarantee

We proudly stand behind our product, which is why we offer a lengthy guarantee.


If for any reason you are not fully satisfied with your purchase, return it within 60 days of your purchase for a full refund.

Compression Details

20-30 mmHg of graduated pressure. The perfect balance of compression... Not too tight, yet not loose! The ideal amount of support.

Fabric & Care

Our socks are made of 80% Nylon + 20% Spandex. Recommended to air dry to prevent shrinkage and for a longer lasting sock. Wash cold. No fabric softener.

Frequently Asked Questions


What do compression socks do for runners?

Running creates a rhythm of vibration through the foot and up the leg that, over time, can cause sore joints, swelling, aching muscles, and exacerbate conditions like plantar fasciitis. 


Compression socks for running cushion the ankle and foot to prevent chafing, support the arch to alleviate acute and chronic pain, and encourage circulation to relieve and prevent muscle fatigue, inflammation, and varicose veins.   



How Does gradient compression work?

Gradient compression refers to the gradual change in compression between the ankle and cuff of your compression sock. Higher compression around the bottom of the calf helps fight gravity so blood can more easily return to your heart. 


How is compression measured?

Different levels of compression are measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg)—the same measurement used to calculate blood pressure or the pressure inside any fluid. Since compression socks deliver pressure to your circulatory system, it makes sense to use mmHg to measure the amount of pressure applied to your blood flow and lymphatic system.  


What is the design hack of a Nurse Yard compression sock?

We took special care in the design of our compression socks for running. We balanced comfort with utility by incorporating the following features into our socks’ design: 


  • Roomy toes to prevent chafing
  • Comfortable, supportive arches
  • Cushioned ankles for all-day comfort
  • Wave-shaped knit for graduated compression
  • No-slip cuffs to keep your socks in place

What size compression sock do I need?

Your sock size is based on your usual shoe size plus your calf measurement. For instance, if you usually wear a women’s size 7 shoe and the widest part of your calf measures 12 inches, our women’s S/M or L/XL will fit you best. 


To measure your calf, wrap a flexible measuring tape around the widest part of the muscle. The tape should touch the skin without making an indent. 


If you’re between sizes, please note that larger sizes have more room in the foot, so it’s best to size down if you want a more form-fitting compression sock. With Nurse Yard, no matter what size you are, even if you're big and tall, you can get the right sized compression socks for you.



Does Nurse Yard provide different colors and sizes of compression socks?

Yes! We believe self-expression and pain relief aren’t mutually exclusive, so we offer compression socks that benefit runners in the following colors in men’s and women’s sizes: 


  • Black: black and gray design
  • White: white and gray design
  • Blue: blue and gray with white toe and heel
  • Pink: pink and gray with white heel and toe
  • Green: green and gray design
  • Orange: orange and gray with black toe and heel

How tight are compression socks?

Our running compression socks are designed to provide graduated pressure to provide even support from calf to toe. The pressure is tight enough to provide pain relief and prevent slippage but light and comfortable enough to wear all day. 


Where does Nurse Yard ship from?

Nurse Yard ships our no-slip, supportive compression socks from Phoenix, AZ. 


How long will Nurse Yard shipping take?

Shipping typically takes between 3 and 5 days, depending on where you’re located in relation to our shipping location. Don’t worry about long shipping times driving up prices—shipping is free!



Benefits of Wearing Compression Socks as a Runner?

When you run in regular socks, you risk developing blisters, infections from trapped sweat, swollen feet and legs, and sore joints. 


Nurse Yards’ compression socks for running tackle each of these problems head-on, providing firm-yet-gentle compression for increased circulation and reduced inflammation, moisture-wicking material to keep your feet cool, and light cushioning against impact chafing to support your joints from toe to hip.


Do Compression Socks Improve Running Times?

Yes—compression can help improve running performance! When you wear compression socks after a run, it speeds up recovery time and reduces soreness, which makes it easier and more pleasant to run daily. 


Additionally, compression socks improve circulation in your legs, which helps oxygenate your muscles and keeps your pulse from rising as fast. They also encourage lymphatic drainage, which prevents lactic acid buildup in your muscles. All of this means that you can run longer before getting out of breath or feeling the burn.

Thick calves

This is honestly my favorite pair of Nurse Yard socks yet. I ordered the 3x and they're perfect for my thick calves. I have multiple pairs of the patterned socks and love them but something about the striped socks hits different. They're slightly stretchier and soooooo comfortable. I could live in these socks.

Hey Amberle, I'm thrilled to hear that you're enjoying your Nurse Yard socks, especially the striped ones in size 3x! It's great to know that they're a perfect fit for you and that you find them super comfortable. Socks that hit different are always a win!

Happy Repeat Customer!

I'm not a nurse, but I work in acute rehab and am on my feet the entire workday. I've tried other compression socks in the past and they were all torture, too tight around my calves and toes, so I never wore them much. These socks are amazingly comfortable and fit exactly as described with their sizing chart being spot on. I own at least a dozen pairs, including the Core, Core 2.0, and Hero Collection, and they all fit great. They're very durable, but I can't resist the new designs and colors!

Hey Lisa, It's wonderful that you've found compression socks that work perfectly for your demanding job in acute rehab. Your positive experience with their comfort and accurate sizing is great to hear. Having a collection of various styles that all fit well and are durable shows their effectiveness. Your preference for new designs and colors reflects their appeal. Here's to more comfortable and productive workdays ahead!
