How Do the Sigvaris Socks Work?
Circulatory conditions such as lymphedema can occur when fluid does not flow from your extremities as freely as it should. To combat this, Sigvaris Compression Socks apply graded compression to your legs, which helps to encourage the flow of fluids from your feet and legs.
What Colour Are The Socks?
The Sigvaris Socks are available in two colours. These socks are a professional black colour.

How Comfortable Are the Socks?
Not only are the socks highly comfortable, but they are also extremely convenient. The socks are easy to pull on, and are very durable thanks to the specific construction of the top seam of the sock. The heel is reinforced for a cushioning effect as you walk, and the finely ribbed design will fit effortlessly with any of your outfit.
