To prevent unwanted movement, these stockings feature a Sensinnov lace grip-top that holds your stockings in place until you're ready to remove them.
What Is the Benefit Of Open Toe Stockings?
You may prefer wearing open toe compression stockings if you want to avoid excess pressure in your toes. They are also more suitable for wearing open toe shoes and for use in hot weather as they improve air flow to and from your feet.
Which Level of Compression Do I Need?
These stockings have a compression level of Afnor Class 2, which equates to 15 - 20mmHg of pressure. This is a light-to-moderate level of compression and may not be suited for more severe conditions. If you are unsure of which level of compression you require, we strongly suggest referring to a medical professional.
What Materials Are the Stockings Made From?
- Polyamide (71%)
- Elastane (29%)
Please note that this may differ slightly for different styles and compression classes. All Semitransparent Compression Stockings do NOT feature any latex, making them suitable for latex-allergy sufferers.
