Applications for FootHuggers Crew Socks include:
Let me explain: Crew socks typically extend to around the mid-calf area. Everyone’s legs are large at the calf area and they get progressively narrower as you move down toward the foot. In other words, you legs have a cone-shape. In order for any sock to stay up and not fall down as you walk, they must employ some form of gripping material to hold them in place on your leg. Most sock manufacturers use elastic. The elastic grips your leg and keeps the sock from falling down as you walk. But the elastic also constricts your leg, potentially causing other problems.
Having said all that, people need to understand their own legs and what works and what does not work. If you have Diabetes, circulation problems, edema, swelling, or other issues in which you legs are swollen or sensitive to elastic, then crew socks may not be the best choice. We would recommend you consider FootHuggers Anklets or FootHuggers Knee-high Bootsocks. If you notice dents in your legs from socks, CHANGE SOCKS.
