How Ruby Began
I remember the moment the name “Ruby” came to me like it was yesterday. I was rounding a corner to care for a patient when the word dropped into my head. “Aww, that’s cute,” I thought. But then came a strong impression: look into what it means. After my shift, I went home and did some research. I discovered that many ancient cultures believed rubies had protective powers—symbols of wisdom and safety, often worn by warriors going into battle.

Mercedes Benz of Socks
“Sooo…you’re asking us to make the Mercedes-Benz of socks?!” That’s exactly what my manufacturer asked early on in the design process--and they weren’t wrong.

First-time compression sock wearers: be forewarned—putting on compression socks can be a bit frustrating at first. They’re not like regular socks, and that’s by design. Compression socks are made to apply gentle pressure to your legs, which helps improve circulation, reduce swelling, and prevent issues like varicose veins and blood clots. But because of this, they’re tighter and more form-fitting, which can make them tricky to put on, especially if you're new to wearing them.
