Longshift knee‑highs
Still up at hour eleven. No ring when you peel them off.
A graduated knit that's firmest at the ankle and eases up the calf, a wide ribbed cuff that stays under the knee, and a reinforced heel and toe for hard floors. Sized by calf, and every colour comes in wide calf to 50 cm.
Wrong size? We swap it free within 30 days.
Usually arrives in 7 to 12 business days, tracked. Comfort socks, not a medical garment.
Made to last the shift.
Firm at the ankle, easing up the calf
A graduated knit: snuggest around the ankle and gentler as it climbs. A firm hug, not a squeeze.
Still up under the knee
A wide ribbed cuff that sits just below the knee and stays there. No yanking them up at 2am.
Kind to your calf at the cuff
Designed to spread its hold over a wide band, so you're not peeling off a deep ring after a twelve.
Sized by calf, in centimetres
Not your shoe size. Grab a soft tape, measure the widest part of your calf, done. Three sizes, 23 to 50 cm.
Every colour in wide calf
All six colours come in all three sizes. Wide calf isn't the black-only, take-it-or-leave-it version.
Reinforced heel and toe
Thicker where twelves chew through socks. Machine wash cold, hang to dry, back on tomorrow.
Not a sock. Not a stocking.
Somewhere nicer in between.

One pair to try, two to rotate, or four for a week of shifts. Mix any colours and sizes.
On at 6am, eyes half open
Ankle first, smooth up to just under the knee. Then forget about them till you're home.
Two ways a twelve can end.
Round your ankles by 2am.
Hitched up at every break, slid down by handover, and a ring round your calf when you finally peel them off.
LongshiftStill up at hour eleven.
Snug at the ankle, the cuff where you left it at 6am, and nothing to fix on the drive home.
Sized by calf, in centimetres.
Not your shoe size. Measure the widest part of your calf, sitting down, with a soft tape.
| Size | Widest part of calf | Usually fits |
|---|---|---|
| S/M | 23 to 33 cm | Slim to average calves |
| L/XL | 34 to 40 cm | Average to athletic calves |
| Wide calf | 41 to 50 cm | Wider calves, roomier cuff |
No tape? Wrap a phone charger cable around your calf, then measure the cable with a ruler.

Fair questions.
How much are they?
One pair is $29.95 plus $7.95 tracked shipping. Two pairs are $54.95 and four pairs are $94.95, both with free tracked shipping. Mix any colours and sizes; the pack price applies automatically at checkout.
How do I pick my size?
Measure the widest part of your calf, sitting down. S/M fits 23 to 33 cm, L/XL fits 34 to 40 cm, and Wide calf fits 41 to 50 cm. Between sizes? Go up for comfort.
What if they don't fit?
We swap sizes free within 30 days of delivery. Tell us your order number and the size you need, and we'll send the new pair at no cost. Unworn pairs can also be returned for a refund within 30 days. See shipping and returns.
Do all the colours come in wide calf?
Yes. All six colours come in S/M, L/XL and Wide calf (41 to 50 cm). Wide calf isn't a smaller range here.
Will they stay up all shift?
That's the whole idea. The wide ribbed cuff sits just under the knee and holds there through a long shift. If yours slide, you may need the size down; we'll swap it free.
How firm are they?
Firm around the ankle, easing off up the calf. Most people describe it as a snug hug: firmer than everyday socks, and much easier to get on than pharmacy stockings. They're comfort socks, not a medical garment.
Can I mix colours and sizes in a pack?
Yes. Pick 2 or 4 pairs, tick "Mix colours or sizes" and choose each pair. The pack price applies at checkout automatically.
How long does shipping take?
Orders are packed within 1 to 2 business days and usually arrive in 7 to 12 business days, tracked. Shipping is $7.95, or free on orders of $50 and over (any 2 or more pairs).
Can I wear them on a long flight?
Plenty of people pack them for long-haul. They're comfort socks, not a medical garment, so if a health professional has told you to wear medical stockings when you fly, follow that advice.
Are they medical compression stockings?
No. Longshift are everyday compression socks for comfort on long days. If you've been advised to wear medical-grade stockings, follow your health professional's advice.
How do I wash them?
Machine wash cold, inside out, and hang to dry. Skip the dryer and fabric softener to keep the stretch.
On at 6am. Still up at handover.
- Firm at the ankle, still under the knee at handover
- Every colour in wide calf, to 50 cm
