Exploring Your Compression Hose Options

compression hoseIf you’ve decided you’re interested in compression socks or hose, congratulations! You’re already on your way to preventing leg pain and tenderness, and even varicose veins. However, not all compression hose are created equal. Read on to learn the different factors that will help you choose the perfect compression hose for you.

Height: The height of your compression hose will affect your level of support, in addition to providing aesthetic changes as well; some women simply prefer the look of thigh-high or mid-thigh compression hose, while others are partial to knee-high products.

Color: Your individual preferences, outfit, and skin tone will determine whether you prefer black or nude compression hose, or perhaps fashion hose in more interesting colors. Keep in mind that there is still a lot of variation within the black and nude families.

Toes: Some women think they have to choose between wearing compression hose and wearing open-toe sandals, but this is simply not the case. Open-toe compression hose make it easy to get the support you need and show off that pedicure.
