Graduated Support Hosiery

Graduated support stockings are designed to help improve blood flow in the legs and feet. Our support stockings deliver a controlled amount of graduated compression, which is greatest at the ankle and gradually decreases towards the top of the stocking. This gradient pressure is designed to help improve circulation, energize tired legs and feet, prevent swelling and relieve tired, achy legs. Graduated support hosiery is also sometimes physician recommended for other leg health conditions.
