The Sigvaris Cushioned Cotton Socks provide 15-20mmHg of compression therapy to promote leg health, and prevent and treat mild to moderate symptoms including tired, aching legs, and swollen feet and ankles. These socks are designed to be comfortable for both work and play, with their thick, padded sole, heel and toe to protect feet. They also feature a flat, low friction toe seam and soft, stretchable knit-in band to prevent pinching. These features make them ideal for diabetic patients, or those with sensitive skin.
