Compression socks were a game changer for me too once I figured out I was wearing them wrong the whole first month. Key thing: put them on in the morning before your shift, not after when legs are already swollen. Turn the sock inside out to the heel, seat your heel properly, then smooth upward in sections. Never roll or fold the top down, that actually cuts circulation. My sister did 8hr retail shifts for two years and swore by the combo of elevating legs above heart level for 20min right after work plus calf stretches before the shift starts. Achy legs at night causes and remedies has a solid breakdown of what actually works for standing job aches specifically. Also check your insoles, proper arch support made more difference than anything else for me. Alternating weight between feet during slow moments helps too. The ankle-to-knee ache you're describing is classic circulation fatigue, totally fixable with the right routine.
