1-Year Durability Guarantee

Backed by Our Commitment to Quality & Sustainability

At Wellwear, we believe in creating products that not only perform but stand the test of time.

That’s why every pair of Wellwear socks comes with our 1-Year Durability Guarantee.

Made with care and certified to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, Wellwear compression socks combine the natural softness of merino wool (18%) with durable and breathable materials: nylon (15%), acrylic (27%), polyester (25%), and spandex (15%).

For best results:

✔ Machine wash on cold, gentle cycle
✔ Use mild detergent (no fabric softeners)
✔ Air dry to maintain elasticity & softness

Merino wool is naturally self-cleaning, so it stays fresher longer—meaning you can wear them multiple times before needing a wash!

Compression socks come in different levels, measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg), which indicate the amount of pressure applied at the ankle (with decreasing pressure up the leg).

Here’s a breakdown:

• 10-15 mmHg – Light compression (mild support, everyday wear)
• 15-20 mmHg – Moderate compression (mild swelling, travel, long hours of standing/sitting)
• 20-30 mmHg – Firm compression (medical-grade, used for varicose veins, moderate swelling)
• 30-40 mmHg – Extra-firm compression (prescribed for severe swelling, DVT, post-surgery)
• 40-50 mmHg – Strong medical-grade (typically doctor-prescribed for serious conditions)
  

10-15 mmHg falls into the "light compression" category, making it ideal for everyday comfort, mild circulation support, and reducing leg fatigue without feeling too restrictive.

Merino wool blend compression socks combine the natural benefits of merino wool with targeted compression, offering superior comfort, moisture management, and circulation support that ordinary socks can’t match.

Unlike standard cotton or synthetic socks, merino wool provides natural temperature regulation, odour resistance, and exceptional softness, while compression helps reduce swelling and improve blood flow.

Merino wool is naturally antibacterial and odour-resistant, meaning it prevents the buildup of bacteria that cause smelly feet. Unlike regular socks that trap sweat and odor, merino wool keeps your feet feeling fresh—even after long hours of wear.

Not at all! Merino wool is temperature-regulating, meaning it keeps you warm in cold weather and cool in hot conditions. This makes them perfect for year-round wear, whether you're flying, working, or hiking.
