Any recommendations for compression socks. I have a small foot and ankle but apparently massive calves when im measuring them! I bought a few pairs and either the heel are to big or the calf is too big but foot fits.
Any made for small feet, fat calves!!

If you are required to wear these for medical reasons you can get made to measure via your GP who will refer you to a nurse to measure you. You may only get one per a year.

There is a company on line that you can also get made to measure from. Will post the name later, still in bed...

Do not buy medical grade compression socks without seeing the GP.

You get two pairs of medical grade compression every six months if prescribed. GPs are not the only ones who can prescribe though. You can look up an MLD therapist, get measured and have something ordered.

I get my extra pairs from here, they do made to measure.
