Product Information

Full details

The SockShop Iomi FootNurse Oedema Extra Wide Cotton Socks are designed for adults experiencing fluid retention and swelling in the legs and feet. Their key benefit is providing gentle, non-restrictive support that contours to the leg without causing pressure. A potential consideration is that while they offer significant expansion, individual needs for compression may vary. These socks are made from a soft, cotton-rich material with a loose knit weave, allowing them to expand up to 30 inches in leg circumference. They also feature flat, hand-linked toes to prevent irritation.

FAQs

What is oedema?

Oedema is the medical term for fluid retention, which causes swelling in the body's tissues. These socks are designed to help manage the swelling in the legs and feet.

Can these socks help with lymphoedema?

Yes, these socks are designed to assist with lymphoedema, which is chronic swelling caused by a problem with the lymphatic system.

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 everyday wear?

Yes, made with a soft, cotton-rich material and flat seams, they are designed for comfort during extended daily wear.

How should I wash these socks?

You can machine wash them at 40°C (104°F) and tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid bleaching, ironing, and dry cleaning.

Do these socks offer medical-grade compression?

These socks are designed for comfort and gentle support for swelling. They do not provide specific medical-grade compression levels. If you need medical-grade compression, please consult a healthcare professional.

What material are the socks made from?

The socks are made from a cotton-rich material, ensuring a soft feel and breathability.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel too tight despite the wide design.

Ensure your leg circumference does not exceed the maximum 30 inches (76 cm). If it does, these socks may not be suitable. If within the limit, double-check that the knit is fully relaxed and not bunched up.

Seams are noticeable or causing irritation.

Gently reposition the sock to ensure the flat hand-linked toe seam lies smoothly against your foot. If irritation persists, consult a healthcare professional.

Material feels less supportive than expected.

These socks are designed for comfort and gentle support, not medical-grade compression. If you require a higher level of compression, consult with a healthcare provider for alternative options.

Socks losing elasticity after washing.

Follow the care instructions carefully. Avoid high heat drying or harsh detergents which can degrade the elastic fibers. Wash at 40°C and tumble dry on low heat.
