FAQs

What is edema and how do these socks help?

Edema is the medical term for fluid retention, causing swelling. These socks are designed with a loose, stretchy knit and extra width to accommodate swollen legs and feet gently, without constricting or causing pressure, thus helping to manage the discomfort associated with edema.

Can these socks be worn by people with lymphedema?

Yes, these socks are specifically designed for conditions like lymphedema. They are endorsed by Lymphedema United and feature a non-constricting fit that supports swollen limbs without causing indentations or restricting lymphatic drainage.

What is the maximum leg circumference these socks can fit?

The socks can expand to a maximum leg circumference of 30 inches (76 cm) due to their loose knit weave and extra-wide design.

Are the seams noticeable?

No, the socks feature flat, hand-linked toes for smooth seams. This is designed to prevent rubbing and irritation that can cause blisters.

What material are the socks made from?

The socks are cotton-rich, providing softness and breathability for comfortable wear.

How should I care for my IOMI FootNurse socks?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid bleaching and ironing.

Are these socks suitable for daily wear?

Yes, they are designed for regular, comfortable wear throughout the day to provide continuous support and manage leg swelling.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel too loose on legs.

These socks are designed for maximum stretch to accommodate swelling. If you have standard leg sizes, they may feel looser than expected. Ensure you are pulling them up fully to the intended leg height.

Socks are not staying up.

Check that the socks are pulled up to the top of the calf. The 'Easy-Stretch' tops are designed to be gentle and may require adjustment if your legs are not significantly swollen.

Discomfort or irritation.

While designed to prevent irritation, ensure no debris is caught within the seams. Ensure the socks are the correct size for your leg circumference; if too loose, they might shift.
