Class 2 compression stockings, also known as compression socks class 2, have a pressure range of 23–32 mmHg. This pressure is higher than that of class 1 (light compression, 18–21 mmHg) and lower than class 3 (strong compression, 34–46 mmHg). Therefore, they fall into the therapeutic compression category: strong enough to treat medical indications but also suitable for preventive use.
The difference with light travel socks or sports socks? Class 2 provides noticeably more pressure and supports the veins in the lower leg to aid the return of blood to the heart. This reduces swelling, relieves symptoms, and helps prevent complications such as varicose veins or edema.
Beyond medical applications, class 2 compression stockings are popular with active users: athletes, people with standing jobs, or travelers. Thanks to the combination of medical effectiveness and modern design, STOX compression stockings are both practical and stylish. You benefit from serious compression without sacrificing comfort or appearance.
