3. Do you have varicose veins or want to prevent them from forming due to prolonged sitting or standing? Not only are varicose veins unsightly, they are also an indication of expanded and weak veins. This means blood isn't flowing effectively and compression socks help by constricting veins to help with blood flow, preventing the formation of varicose veins or preventing existing ones from getting worse.
