The average foot size is usually between a large and small. Many people who wear compression stockings will find that it works best if they wear them when they first get up in the morning, as this gives them an optimum blood flow and circulation. You should wear your socks for a minimum of 30 minutes a day, but in reality, it is recommended that you wear them all day, as the skin on your feet needs time to adapt to the pressure being applied. For those who feel that you do not need to wear your socks for the entire day, try wearing them for five to ten minutes after you finish sleeping for the ultimate in comfort and protection.
