Overview
Pulling on this knee high gives an opaque, tightly knit sock that leaves the toes open and grips at the top with a silicone band. The fabric blends polyamide with elastane and is described as soft against the skin but highly resistant to stretch.
The reason to consider it is the firm compression class with opaque coverage that conceals blemishes and varicose veins. The limitation is that the description is aimed at moderate to severe conditions, so it is poorly suited to someone looking for light everyday support.
Who it's for
A person managing moderate to severe varicose veins, heavy, achy legs or edema who has been told to use a firm class. Casual wearers, shoppers wanting a lighter squeeze and those needing a closed toe should look at other items.
Pros and cons
- Firm compression class
- Opaque coverage hides blemishes
- Silicone top band
- Temperature control fabric
- Too strong for casual use
- Open toe only
- Calf sizing chart not listed
Performance notes
High stretch resistance in the knit is what produces the firm pressure, and the silicone band limits slipping along the upper edge. The Clima Comfort material is described as helping with temperature control. Because pressure is high, the size has to match the leg closely or the sock will either pinch or lose its effect.
