Sigvaris Eversoft Diabetic Socks Knee High 8-15 mmHg

$32.00

The Sigvaris Eversoft Diabetic Socks knee high is a graduated compression garment, knitted in light 8-15 mmHg compression. Graduated compression is strongest at the ankle and eases as it travels up the leg. It covers the foot and calf and finishes just below the knee.

Eversoft is the gentlest sock Sigvaris makes. It is stretchy and effectively seamless, with thick padded soles, heels and toes, a flat low-friction toe seam and a soft knit-in band that will not pinch. The compression runs from the ankle to the knee and the foot itself is left compression-free.

The toe is closed, so the foot is covered. Sigvaris sizes it from your own leg measurements rather than from a shoe size or a dress size.

Is this the right one for you?

Choose this if your circulation or skin is already compromised — by diabetes or artery disease — as well as your veins.

For sensitive skin, or a natural fibre: Sigvaris Casual Cotton Women's Knee High 15-20 mmHg Compression Socks is knitted with cotton, wool or linen.

Want the leg covered? Sigvaris Soft Opaque Women's Knee High 15-20 mmHg Compression Socks has a smooth, matte opaque finish.

This product provides mild, over-the-counter compression (8-15 mmHg), below the medical-grade 20-30 mmHg threshold. Canadian extended health benefit plans (e.g. Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Blue Cross, Green Shield Canada) generally reserve coverage for medical-grade compression of 20-30 mmHg or higher with a prescription, so this item is not usually eligible. If reimbursement is a factor, please confirm your plan's terms with your provider before ordering. We're happy to prepare an itemized estimate for your insurer — use Get an Insurance Estimate for this item, or add several to your cart and request one for everything at once. No charge, and it's not an order.

Measure first thing in the morning, before swelling builds, with the tape snug but not tight.

Measure standing, with your foot flat on the floor and your leg at a right angle to it.

Check the size chart below. If your measurements don't fit a size on it, contact us and we'll help.

Wash after every wear, which maintains the compression and keeps the garment hygienic
Hand washing is recommended; you may machine wash on the gentle cycle in lukewarm water up to 40°C (104°F)
Turn the garment inside out and place it in a laundry net before washing
Use a mild detergent; never use bleach or fabric softener
Rinse well and air dry; do not tumble dry, iron or dry clean
Store at room temperature in a dry place, away from light and direct heat
Alternate two or more pairs, and replace them after about six months of daily wear, as compression diminishes with wearing and washing

Sigvaris recommends wearing donning gloves. They cut the chance of snagging the fabric on a fingernail, and the grip makes it easier to draw the garment up and smooth it out so the compression sits evenly.

Put your hand inside the garment and grab the heel between your thumb and fingers, as if making a sock puppet.
Still holding the heel, turn the garment inside out, which brings the heel to the front.
Step into the foot and place the heel of the garment just short of your own heel.
Gently unfold the garment, leaving a small single-layer band across the foot.
Put your finger into the fold and pop it over the heel.
Smooth out all wrinkles and set the top band two finger-widths below the right-angle bend of your knee; do not pull it any higher.

Put compression on first thing in the morning, while your legs are least swollen; if you are already up and about, lie down or sit with your legs raised for a while first.

To take it off, roll the top band down and stroke downward with flat hands as the garment doubles over itself, then pull it over the heel and off. If a garment is badly twisted, it is easier to take it off and start again than to straighten it on the leg.
