Compression Socks

This product is a compression sock designed for situations requiring moderate compression support for the feet and calves. The sock body uses a 144-gauge fine knitting process combined with a Select Cushion structure, with additional thicker layers in pressure-prone areas such as the heel and forefoot. The fabric is composed of 98% nylon and 2% spandex: nylon forms a high-density fiber skeleton, ensuring continuous support for the legs; spandex provides two-way elasticity, resulting in even pressure distribution and a conformal fit to dynamic leg shapes. Sizes range from 10-13, accommodating larger foot circumferences. This product achieves basic support for the lower limbs through a combination of material properties and structural design.

Core Advantages
Graded Pressure Distribution: The sock structure features decreasing pressure from bottom to top, with the highest pressure at the ankle and the lowest in the upper calf. This gradient design conforms to the hydrodynamic requirements of venous blood return, assisting the function of lower limb venous valves through external mechanical pressure, reducing blood pooling, and alleviating the heaviness and soreness in the legs caused by prolonged standing or sitting.

Zoned Impact Dispersion: The Select Cushion structure increases the thickness of the cushioning layer in the heel and forefoot areas. These areas experience the highest peak ground reaction forces during the gait cycle; the thicker layer reduces the intensity of impact force transmitted to the bones and joints per unit area by increasing the energy absorption path length.

Circumferential Stress Uniformity: The high-density fiber network formed by 98% nylon gives the sock a high elastic modulus, resulting in uniform stress distribution during circumferential stretching and avoiding localized pressure concentration. The fabric's coverage of the leg remains consistent in the circumferential direction, reducing skin marks or discomfort caused by uneven pressure.

Long-Term Pressure Stability: The nylon-dominated fiber combination has tensile fatigue resistance. The molecular chains have a high recovery rate after repeated stretching, and the sock maintains its initial pressure curve even after multiple wears and washes, with pressure decay controlled within the design threshold.

Product Features
Size Fit: Sizes 10-13 cover a wide range of thigh circumferences and foot sizes, fitting most adult needs. It is recommended to measure the circumference of your ankle at its narrowest point, the circumference of your calf at its widest point, and your foot length before referring to the size chart to select the correct size.

Weave Structure: A high-density 144-gauge knit base structure. The heel and forefoot areas feature a Select Cushion layer, approximately 1.5-2 times thicker than the main body.

Material Composition: 98% nylon provides a high-density fiber skeleton, ensuring pressure stability and abrasion resistance; 2% spandex gives the fabric two-way elasticity, ensuring even pressure distribution during dynamic fit.

Compression Design: The pressure gradually decreases from the ankle upwards, with approximately 100% pressure at the ankle, 70-80% in the mid-calf, and 50-60% in the upper calf. Specific pressure values ​​may vary slightly depending on size and fit.

Application Scenarios
Prolonged Standing/Sitting: Suitable for occupations requiring prolonged standing or sitting, such as retail, catering, medical, and office work, helping to maintain efficient blood flow in the lower limbs.

Travel & Travel: Suitable for long-distance travel, such as by plane and train. When legs are restricted from prolonged flexion, external pressure helps reduce venous blood pooling and alleviate lower limb swelling.

Recovery After Exercise: Suitable for wearing after moderate to high-intensity exercise. Continuous pressure helps clear muscle metabolic waste products and shortens the duration of muscle soreness.

Daily Care: Suitable for the daily needs of people who experience leg fatigue and soreness, serving as a non-medical-grade leg comfort management tool.

Frequently Asked Questions and Precautions:

Q: What is the difference between compression stockings and regular socks?

A: Compression stockings, through fiber ratio and knit structure design, create a decreasing pressure gradient from bottom to top, applying controllable compression to the calf and foot. Regular socks only provide basic coverage and warmth; the pressure distribution is not systematically designed and lacks gradient pressure support.

Q: How do I choose the right size?

A: It is recommended to measure the circumference of the narrowest part of the ankle, the widest part of the calf, and the shoe size in the morning when legs are not swollen. Ankle measurement is taken at the narrowest point above the inner ankle, and calf measurement is taken at the widest point of the calf. After measurement, refer to the size chart to select the correct size. Compression stockings should be moderately tight to function, but should not cause pain or numbness.

Q: Can compression stockings be worn 24 hours a day?

A: These are non-medical grade health compression stockings. It is recommended to wear them during daytime activities and remove them while sleeping to ensure normal regulation of the lower limb vascular system in the absence of external pressure. The specific wearing time can be adjusted according to individual tolerance; initially, the adaptation time can be gradually increased.

Q: Will the pressure of compression stockings decrease with washing?

A: The combination of nylon and spandex has good tensile fatigue resistance, but the elasticity of the fibers will naturally decrease with increased use. It is recommended to follow the washing instructions correctly to prolong the pressure maintenance period. Generally, the recommended replacement cycle for health compression stockings is 3-6 months.

Precautions

Wear smoothly: When wearing, ensure the stockings are smooth and wrinkle-free to avoid excessive local pressure that could cause skin compression or obstructed blood circulation.

Daily Washing: Daily washing is recommended to maintain fiber elasticity and compression performance. Use a mild detergent and water temperature not exceeding 30℃. Hand wash or machine wash in a laundry bag. Do not expose to direct sunlight or tumble dry at high temperatures.

Contraindications: Individuals with severe varicose veins, lower extremity vascular disease, diabetes, or peripheral neuropathy should select and use compression stockings under the guidance of a physician.

Discontinuation Indications: If skin discoloration, increased pain, numbness, or tingling occurs during wear, discontinue use immediately and consult a physician.
