CEP Compression Socks and Sleeves in Vancouver
Our CEP collection covers socks, calf sleeves, knee sleeves, and arm sleeves. Most items use Class 1 compression rated at 20-30 mmHg. The mid-cut running sock uses a lighter pressure of 15-20 mmHg. Pick your activity below, then open each product to see sizes and prices. Our team in Yaletown can measure you and recommend a size.
CEP Compression Running Socks for Training and Racing
Running is where CEP started, and our running socks reflect that history. The Class 1 running sock applies 20-30 mmHg of compression. The mid-cut version sits lower on the leg and uses 15-20 mmHg. CEP says its compression helps steady muscles, supports circulation during activity, and eases fatigue. Runners wear compression socks on training days, race days, and long drives home. Choose the standard running sock for firmer pressure, or the mid-cut for a lighter feel.
CEP Compression Calf Sleeves That Suit Runners and Active Days
CEP compression calf sleeves cover your lower leg and leave your foot free. They apply Class 1 compression of 20-30 mmHg around the calf. Many runners pair the sleeves with their own favourite running socks. You can also slide them on after training, or once your workday finishes. Remove a sleeve if the fabric rolls, bunches, or feels painful.
CEP Compression Arm Sleeves for Runs and Training
The Run Ultralight arm sleeves from CEP bring Class 1 compression to your arms. Pressure sits at 20-30 mmHg, and the knit stays ultralight. Mesh zones let air reach your skin, and the fabric wicks moisture away. The UV-resistant finish gives your arms some sun protection on bright days. Cyclists and hikers can wear them, and so can anyone at the gym.
CEP Compression Knee Sleeves for Active Knees
CEP compression knee sleeves wrap your knee in firm, even pressure. They carry the same Class 1 rating of 20-30 mmHg as our other CEP sleeves. A sleeve gives light support during sport and on days spent standing. It does not replace a hinged brace after a ligament injury. For stronger support, browse our knee supports and leg braces or our DonJoy collection.
CEP Compression Socks for Work and Travel
CEP business socks bring Class 1 compression, at 20-30 mmHg, to office days. Our CEP flight socks come in tall styles for women and men. Compression on a long flight may help your legs feel better. Some travellers carry a higher clot risk, so ask your doctor before you fly. Our guide on who needs flight socks lists seven DVT risk factors.
CEP Compression Socks for Hiking and Skiing
The CEP light merino hiking sock combines Class 1 compression with soft merino wool. Merino helps manage moisture and feels comfortable over long walks. The CEP skiing sock uses the same 20-30 mmHg rating for days on the mountain. Both styles suit people who spend hours on their feet outdoors. Try your boots with the socks before a long trip.
CEP Compression Levels and mmHg Explained
The mmHg number shows how firmly the fabric presses, and higher numbers mean firmer pressure. CEP lists every sock and sleeve in our range as Class 1. Our listings show the mmHg range beside each class, so you can compare easily. Our compression sock levels guide compares the common pressure ranges in detail. Ask your clinician which compression level suits any medical condition you have.
Choosing a CEP Compression Size That Fits
A good fit decides how well compression will work for you. Measure your calf, knee, or arm with a soft tape. Take your measurements early in the day, before swelling has time to build. Loose sleeves slide down, while tight ones dig in and hurt. Bring your measurements to our store, and we will match them to the right size.
Putting On and Wearing CEP Compression Daily
Early morning is the best time to put on socks, before your legs swell. Fold the top down to the heel, then slide your foot in. Pull the fabric up in small steps and smooth out every wrinkle. The fabric should feel snug and even, but it should never feel painful. Our guide to putting on compression socks shows seven techniques.
About the CEP Compression Brand and Its History
The people behind medi, a family-owned German maker of medical compression, launched CEP in 2007. The brand keeps its global headquarters in Bayreuth, Germany, and sells worldwide. The founder believed athletes could gain from compression as much as patients do. In 2007, triathlete Timo Bracht set an IRONMAN course record wearing CEP knee-highs. CEP says the knee-highs he wore sold out the day after his race. Today the brand also makes sleeves, apparel, and running shoes.
CEP Compression Compared With medi and Sigvaris
CEP shares its roots with medi, a German maker of everyday medical compression. We also stock Sigvaris, a Swiss brand known for medical stockings and sleeves. CEP leans toward sport, travel, and active everyday wear more than medical use. Medi and Sigvaris often suit medical needs such as varicose veins or lymphedema. Look at our arm sleeves and compression gloves for medi options. Our compression socks collection lets you compare all three brands.
