Available only from Hammacher Schlemmer, these closed-toe compression socks feature convenient side zippers that make them easy to put on and remove, even for those with limited grip strength. The zippered design provides a large opening for slipping the foot into the garment. Once the stocking is secured around the heel and ankle, the top portion is simply zipped shut around the calf without tugging or employing a donning device. The support’s blend of cotton/polyester/elastin produces 15-20mm HG compression that helps reduce swelling and improve blood flow while providing support and lift for the arch of the foot for all-day relief. The knee-high fabric won’t wrinkle or bunch, the zippers have a long pull tab that is easy to grasp. The socks have a gel lining that help absorb shock for cushioned comfort while helping to relieve pain associated with moderate vericose veins, swelling, and tired legs, prompting one Hammacher Schlemmer Institute analyst to comment that wearing them was like having a foot pedicure overnight. The sleek design can be worn under clothing. Hand wash. Pack of two pair. Medium (5 1/2"-8 1/2" ankle, 7 1/2"-14" calf) or Large (6"-10" ankle, 9"-16 1/2" calf); if in-between sizes, order the next size up. Nude or Black.
