What they say

SmoothToe Socks are the best socks I have ever worn

SmoothToe Socks are the best socks I have ever worn.  I have tried more socks than you can imagine–even other compression socks which are way to thin for athletic shoes and have no cushion. They stay in place, give support to the arch, don’t move around in the shoes and wick moisture.  Mine lasted 14 …

Swelling or edema is an abnormal buildup of fluid in the body. Often it presents itself in the extremities including feet, legs, hands, and arms. It can have a detrimental impact on circulation and create discomfort. Often it is caused by sitting for an extended period of time or suffering an injury. It is also common in pregnancy. Compression socks such as SmoothToe graduated compression socks are often prescribed to alleviate the effects of edema. But how do they help with the problem? Here is some insight.

How do compression socks work?

The purpose of a compression sock is to provide a firm yet gentle pressure to the impacted areas. They are typically a firmer pressure at the base of the sock and gradually get less intense as they move up the arm or leg.

Graduated compression socks are designed to prevent the buildup of excess fluids while helping to improve blood flow by forcing blood to circulate back to the heart. This prevents the fluids from accumulating in the extremities. Individuals who suffer from edema should wear compression socks during the day. They are often taken off at night. However, your medical provider might have reasons for wearing them all day long.

How to choose the best fit

Medical grade graduated compression socks are designed with varying degrees of support. They are measured by millimeters of mercury (mmHg) Smoothtoe Graduated Compression Socksand range from firm to moderate compression.

Firm compression – This level of compression provides strong support for the wearer. It measures from 20-30 mmHg. These socks are typically used for moderate swelling accompanied with moderate soreness.

Moderate compression – These socks measure from 15-20 mmHg and are used for mild to moderate swelling and pain.

We offer a full line of graduated compression socks in a variety of colors and styles, including knee high, crew, quarter, and low cut designs — we even offer a dress sock.
