It’s tempting to think that compression socks are only for those who perhaps have circulation problems, who over-exercise or for frequent flyers who need compression to reduce the risk of DVT. UK-based Milkteds® believe that wearing compression socks daily can be beneficial for general healthcare.With that intention, the people at Milkteds® have created a whole range of graduated compression socks, in an array of styles and colours, but all sharing one important – and unique – difference. Milkteds® offer superior levels of comfort for everyday use by using unique milk fibre yarn. This revolutionary fabric is refined directly from the proteins of pure drinking milk and brings with it natural amino acids that make wearing Milkteds® skin nourishing and softening.Wearing Milkteds® creates a very healthy environment for your legs, sanitising and anti-microbal, keeping bad bacteria at bay while also being hygroscopic, meaning absorbing and evaporating moisture to keep your legs and feet dry and healthy.These Milkteds® Everyday Compression Socks with Contrast Heel and Toe are luxuriously comfortable while they work to gently boost circulation and to keep your feet, ankles and legs invigorated. The legs are made with graduated compression to 18-22 mm Hg, British Standard Class II. The sophisticated design and quality Italian manufacture uses a seamless, innovative 3D knit, and micro massage technology on the sole of the foot. They incorporate comfortable stay-put, non-restricting cuffs, and hand linked toes for smooth seams, along with reinforcement to the toes and heels.Milkteds® are designed to be easy to put on and take off compared to other compression socks and even though they are a graduated fit, you can ease your foot through as if they were regular everyday socks. Simply roll the sock with your thumbs inside and work smoothly and progressively up the foot, ankle and leg. If they appear to be slightly long, gently smooth downwards below the knee and adjust to your lower leg length, trying to avoid any folds or creases.The lifespan, elasticity and compression factor of Milkteds® Everyday Compression Socks with Contrast Heel and Toe is maintained by regular washing. Hand washing is best, using in a wash bag and in cold water with gentle soap, but they can be machine washed at 30° on a gentle wash cycle with mild detergent. Irons, dry cleaning, fabric conditioners and bleach should not be used. Milkteds® compression socks are best replaced after three months of regular use (or six months of occasional use) to maintain the correct level of compression.(04/15)
