The Wellness Circle

I can’t count how many times I’ve seen women come into my practice with severe swelling, puffy ankles, and circulation concerns.

In fact, did you know that 1 in 4 adults over 50 struggles with leg swelling — often made worse by the very socks meant to help.

Fortunately, last year I came across a revolutionary brand of compression socks, endorsed by many other health professionals, that is helping women beat the statistics and support long-term health.

Here’s 10 reasons why I wear them daily, and recommend them to all of my clients:

Tight socks can worsen circulation by applying pressure in the wrong places. This can lead to fluid buildup, swelling, and pain.

That's where Everstride is different — they use true graduated compression — firmer at the ankle, then gradually easing up the calf — to gently support healthy blood flow.

This helps prevent swelling, reduce fatigue, and protect your circulation all year round.

Most socks are made to fit calves up to 16–18 inches, however these socks comfortably to fit calves up to 28 inches.

So, whether your legs are naturally fuller or swell throughout the day, they stay in place without the dreaded pinch. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution — it’s a thoughtful, inclusive fit that finally feels like it was made for you.

Traditional compression socks can feel like a workout to get on. I’ve seen women with arthritis or mobility limitations give up just because their socks were too difficult to manage.

Everstride are made with an ultra-stretch, buttery-soft fabric, which easily glides over your legs and with a flex non-binding top. So you don’t need help or an extra 20-minutes just to get ready for the day.

Whether you’re relaxing at home, working on the garden, running errands, or taking a long flight — Everstride moves with you, supporting your circulation and keeps your legs feeling their best.

They’re soft enough to wear while resting, but supportive enough to handle busy days, long shifts, or hours of standing. No digging, no slipping — just gentle, dependable comfort wherever life takes you.

When swelling, heaviness, or poor circulation becomes a daily issue, it’s more than just uncomfortable — it can signal health risks. Problems like varicose veins or swelling often start small, but may impact your independence over time.

With gentle graduated compression promotes healthy blood flow every day, helping you stay confident and support your leg health for many years ahead.

Most compression socks feel okay for the first 30 minutes — and then the discomfort starts. Pinching toes, itchy calves, and that overwhelming need to rip them off by lunch.

With Everstride, the fabric is breathable, soft, and smooth against your skin. No itch, no sweaty build-up, and no need to peel them off halfway through the day.

Traditional compression socks often look and feel like medical devices (not something you want to wear).

Everstride come in timeless, classic colours that blend into your everyday wardrobe. No loud logos, no hospital-style prints. You can wear them with jeans, skirts, or even dresses — and everyone will think their just regular socks.

Whether it’s mild puffiness after a long day, or more persistent issues like edema or visible veins, many women I’ve worked with share the same story: tired, heavy legs that get worse as the day goes on.

Everstride targets the root cause: poor circulation. By boosting healthy blood flow, they help ease swelling, soothe pain, and support your legs before small problems become more serious.

Everstride offers a 100% Perfect Fit Guarantee — if you don’t love how your socks fit, they will immediately ship you a replacement in the correct size for free. And the best part is, you don’t even have to return the original order.

All the founder asks is that you donate any unopened pairs to a local woman’s shelter, so that they can benefit someone who may need them.

With over 100,000 customers and thousands of 5-star reviews, the stories speak for themselves. On Trustpilot and social media, you’ll hear from women who say these are the first compression socks they actually look forward to wearing.

Stories of legs that feel lighter. Days with less pain. And simple joys — like simply being able to walk to the shops, visit family they haven’t seen in years, and finally feel like they have something made specially for them.
