FAQs

What is Oedema and how do these socks help?

Oedema is the medical term for fluid retention, causing swelling in the legs and feet. These socks are designed with extra width and a gentle stretch to accommodate swollen limbs without causing pressure, easing discomfort associated with fluid buildup.

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.

Are these socks suitable for medical compression therapy?

These socks are designed for comfort and to accommodate swelling, not for medical-grade compression therapy, which requires specific pressure ratings. If you need therapeutic compression, consult your doctor.

How do I wash these socks?

They are machine washable at 40°C. Avoid bleaching, high heat drying, ironing, and dry cleaning.

What makes the toe seam special?

The socks feature flat, hand-linked toes which create virtually seamless construction. This reduces rubbing and irritation on sensitive feet, helping to prevent blisters.

Can men and women wear these socks?

Yes, these socks are designed as Unisex for adults experiencing swelling, regardless of gender.

What material are the socks made of?

They are made from a cotton-rich material, providing softness and breathability.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel too loose or keep slipping down

Ensure the socks are pulled up fully. If swelling is minimal, the extra stretch may prevent a snug fit on very slim legs. Consider if a standard width sock might be more appropriate if swelling is not a primary concern.

Skin irritation after wearing

Although designed to be gentle, wash the socks before first wear. Ensure they are clean and free from any residual manufacturing materials. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

Socks feel too warm

The cotton-rich blend offers breathability, but the regular thickness can be warm. For very hot weather or individuals who tend to overheat, consider wearing them during cooler parts of the day or when significant swelling is present.
