• UPC   855065006890
• Lily Trotters Compression Socks give your legs fashionable support from the ankle to the knee! Compression socks are for anyone who needs them, young and old! If you're already experiencing swelling, soreness and muscle cramps, wearing a proper support garment can help take that all away. It also slows development of varicose or spider veins, and can even help prevent life-threatening blood clots. To get the most from your socks, it's important to select the right size. Too small, and the socks can inhibit circulation. Too big, and they won't provide enough compression to promote fluid movement. Choose your size based on your calf measurement, not your shoe size. Socks are a high stretch knit, so they will conform comfortably to feet and ankles. If you're not certain, if you wear wide calf boots, choose the Large / Extra Large sock. All Lily Trotters socks are made with a proprietary weave that combines 93% nylon and 7% spandex. The result is a thin sock that comfortably hugs your legs. They can be worn under specialty socks, like soccer socks or ski socks, so you can go as hard as you like. However, they're comfortable enough to wear as performance gear on their own for lower impact activities, like jogging. These athletic support socks are made with graduated compression measured at 15-20 mmHg. The highest amount of pressure is in the ankle, decreasing as it goes up the leg. This prevents fluids from pooling in the feet and ankles, and promotes increased flow toward the heart. You can pull on compression socks just like knee high stockings. Alternately, you can turn the socks inside out until the toes are left making a little pocket. Put your toes in the pocket, and then just pull the sock up over your heels and legs! Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle, with your preferred delicate detergent, and allow to line dry. Do not mix with other fabrics, like cotton or polyester. Do not machine dry.
