Who should buy which
Athletes, hard-training founders, and anyone with consistent leg fatigue who wants 30-min compression as part of an evening recovery routine.
You're skeptical of compression therapy science, or you primarily need upper-body recovery (Theragun + Hyperice Vest may serve better).
Frequent flyers (4+ hour flights), standing/walking professionals (nurses, surgeons, teachers, retail), runners and hikers in recovery, the healthspan-60+ persona managing venous insufficiency or varicose risk, anyone who wants the cheapest evidence-backed recovery intervention in the catalog.
You already wear medical-grade prescription compression (20-30 mmHg or higher) under specialist supervision — Sockwell's 15-20 mmHg moderate tier is intentionally lower-than-medical to encourage daily wear, not replace prescription stockings.
