THE IMPORTANCE OF SIZING SUPPORT HOSE CORRECTLY
The proper sizing of support hose is critical. Too much compression can be as bad as too little compression. If the support hose is too small, the compression range could be too high and can add to your problem. Please read the sizing instructions carefully to avoid ordering the incorrect support hose for you or your loved one. Every support hose product has a size chart on it, read it carefully.
MEASURING SUPPORT HOSE
Support hose require two or three measurements depending on the style you choose. Knee high support hose require you to take measurements in inches at the anklebone and the largest part of your calf. The ankle measurement is the most important one for support hose fitting due to the fact that the ankle has to be the highest point of compression. Thigh high support hose require the same measurements plus a measurement at the largest part of the thigh. Waist high support hose require the same measurements along with a waist measurement. Some of the mild compression support hose are sized by shoe size.
