After the stockings, the question we heard most was, can I have the same support in a sock? On 24 October 2023 the Women's High Socks arrived.
Pressure that rises gently
The manufacturer states 26–27 hPa at the ankle, about 20 mmHg, easing to 20–21 hPa at the calf. Firm where it matters, softer higher up, so the sock helps rather than squeezes.
For standing shifts and long flights
Nurses, shop staff, travellers, mothers on their feet all day. Those were the women we thought of. The cuff is soft so it stays without biting, and the knit is fine enough for everyday shoes.
