Compression Socks for Nurse
These are the socks our nurse uniform programs are built on: a knee-length compression sock in six program colors, knitted for twelve hours of standing, walking and lifting, and sized S to XL against standard shoe grading. Where the category page covers the wholesale program, this page is the product itself — the colors, the blends and the fit your staff will actually wear.
Colors and Sizes
Six colors are stocked for this style: orange, khaki, coffee, rose red, black and navy. Black and navy carry most uniform programs; the brighter colors are there because departments increasingly color-code, and because staff buy extras for themselves when the issued pair is one they would choose. Sizes run S, M, L and XL on standard shoe-size grading, so issuing is a shoe size question, not a fitting exercise.
Three Blends, One Specification
The style is knitted across the range's three fabric blends, and programs typically standardize on one: Emsley (65% nylon / 15% polyester / 20% spandex) for a firm, smooth standard hand; Feather (20% combed cotton / 40% nylon / 15% spandex / 25% polyester) for a cotton-touch feel against sensitive skin; and Versatilis, a nylon-cotton blend balanced for everyday wear across climates. The blend, colors and size ratios for your program are set out in your order specification and cited on reorders.

Fit and Construction
A compression sock earns its place in the issue by staying where it is put: the cuff holds the knee line without binding, the leg keeps its profile through the shift, and the toe is smooth enough to forget inside a work shoe. Spandex content across all three blends is there for recovery — the sock that comes out of the wash shaped like the sock that went in, cycle after cycle, because a program that reorders quarterly cannot tolerate a fit that wanders.
Ordering
Socks are ordered as part of a nurse uniform kit or as a standalone line, on the same terms either way: minimums confirmed at quotation, colors and sizes mixed to your issue ratios, standard group lead times (trial 14 days, small orders 21 days, bulk 35 days from the China lines), and AQL inspection before dispatch. Distributors typically pair this style with the Medical Leg Compression Socks for a two-tier range — see the compression socks category for the program view.
Replacement Rhythm
Socks are replaced more often than any garment in the uniform issue, and this style is managed accordingly: programs typically hold several pairs per wearer in rotation and reorder on a shorter cycle than garments. Reorder the same blend, colors and sizes, and replacement pairs join the existing rotation directly. Distributors mirror the same rhythm in stock: this is the line that brings the account back between uniform tenders.
Questions Buyers Ask
How is this style different from the Medical Leg Compression Socks?
This style runs in six colors with the three-blend program; the Medical Leg style adds white and pink and an eight-color clinical palette. Construction and sizing are shared.
Can we standardize on one blend for our whole program?
Yes — set the blend, colors and size ratios in your order specification and cite the same specification on reorders.
What is the minimum for a first order?
Minimums for this line are confirmed at quotation; colors and sizes can be mixed freely.
