Activa® Class 2 Unisex Ribbed Socks

Ribbed Class 2 socks with a Closed Toe

Activa® Class 2 Unisex Ribbed Socks give graduated compression of 18-24mmHg, firmest at the ankle and easing up towards the knee. That is UK Class 2, the moderate level on the British Standard scale, and these socks are designed for the management of varicose veins, thread veins and tired, aching legs. The rib runs the length of the sock, so under trousers it reads as a thicker everyday sock rather than hosiery.

Closed Toe, and getting them up the leg

The toe is closed, so the foot is covered from heel to tip. Fit is set by ankle and calf measurements rather than shoe size, so take them first thing in the morning, before any swelling builds. Class 2 takes some effort to pull on. Work the sock up the leg in stages instead of dragging it by the cuff, and it will sit flat without wrinkles. If bending or gripping is hard, an application aid makes the job easier.

It's important to get the right fit when it comes to compression garments. That's why Daylong Shop recommends that you contact a nurse, GP or pharmacist to ensure that compression hosiery is appropriate for you. If so, you will then need to be measured in order to obtain the correct size which will ensure that the garment works correctly and feels comfortable.
