Match Vive Health compression socks by product number before using a size chart or washing instruction. Compression Socks (2 Pair), Compression Stockings and Sports Compression Socks are different named lines. Their package counts, size labels and drying methods are not interchangeable.
We compared published product information without wearing or testing these garments. This guide does not choose a pressure or decide whether compression is appropriate for you. Keep any garment type and pressure specified by your clinician.
Start with the full model name and number
The maker publishes separate pages for SUP1065 Compression Socks (2 Pair) (vivehealth.com), SUP2016 Compression Stockings (vivehealth.com) and SUP3012 Sports Compression Socks (vivehealth.com). These three examples illustrate why a shared brand name is insufficient.
On a narrow screen, scroll the table sideways to compare every column.
| Family code | Named line | Package | Published care |
|---|---|---|---|
| SUP1065 | Compression Socks | Two pairs | Cold machine wash, mild detergent; tumble dry low |
| SUP2016 | Compression Stockings | One pair | Gentle warm hand wash; lay flat; do not wring |
| SUP3012 | Sports Compression Socks | One pair | Cold machine wash; hang dry; no bleach or ironing |
The model code can include additional size and color characters. Copy the complete code from the selected listing and compare it with the package. This is a model-checking guide, not a ranking of every garment in the brand’s catalog.
Search results also surface Vive Wear’s Life Sock (vivewear.com). Its named line and chart should not be assumed to describe these Vive Health model numbers.
SUP1065 uses shoe and calf ranges together
The SUP1065 page describes 20–30 mmHg and publishes this US sizing image (file: https://www.vivehealth.com/cdn/shop/products/sizing_chart_af48209a-7ade-4c6e-81af-2d4b6a044460_700x700.jpg). Its calf ranges add information that the page’s shoe-size FAQ alone does not provide.
Scroll this table sideways on a narrow screen to see the calf column.
| Size | Men’s US shoes | Women’s US shoes | Calf |
|---|---|---|---|
| S/M | 5–9 | 5½–8½ | 9–15 in. |
| L/XL | 8–14 | 8–15½ | 14–19 in. |
For a chart-only mismatch, a person with men’s US size 10 shoes and a 13-inch calf does not fit both dimensions of either row. The shoe size falls in L/XL, but the calf is below that row’s stated minimum. Do not solve the mismatch by guessing a size or changing pressure; ask the maker or a qualified fitter.
Keep this chart with SUP1065. SUP2016 instead lists Small through Extra Large using ankle and calf measurements, while SUP3012 uses Small, Medium and Large shoe-size rows. The same word “Large” does not establish a match across these lines. Our knee-high fitting guide explains the broader measurement checks.
A shared brand does not mean a shared drying method
The table shows three different published care routines. A low tumble setting listed for SUP1065 does not approve tumble drying SUP2016 or SUP3012. Read the actual pair’s label before cleaning and ask the maker to resolve a mismatch with the listing.
Package count is separate too: two pairs means four individual socks, whereas a one-pair listing supplies two. Keep that distinction in a laundry or replacement plan instead of comparing the product names alone.
