Compression Socks
Getting compression socks on and off can sometimes be difficult. Fortunately techniques once learned can make donning easier.
Start only with dry feet and legs.
-
With the sock right side out, reach inside of the sock to grab the heel from the inside. Hold it with a pinch.
NOTE: On most brands the heel will be defined by stitching or a different looking material
-
Maintain the pinch and with your other hand grab the top seam of the sock and pull it away from you until the pinched heel comes out. This will create a pocket for your foot to enter.
-
The sock should now be inside out to the heel and should look like a tube with the heel sticking out at the end.
NOTE: We are trying to avoid any bundling of the material.
-
With your thumbs holding the sock open at the opening above the heel we created, pull the sock over the foot.
NOTE: Having the heel on the under side of your foot will make sure the sock goes on your foot with the correct orientation.
-
Pull the sock back to as close to the end of your arch as possible.
NOTE: Pulling further can cramp toes or tax the material.
-
Once the heel is at the end of your arch, grab the top seam of the sock and pull the sock top over the foot and around the heel in a single layer until it becomes snug.
NOTE: Pulling too aggressively can stretch and rip a sock.
-
Keeping your thumbs inside the sock, reach down and grab some material near the ankle bone and give it a pinch and hold.
NOTE: Grabbing too much can make it difficult to pull.
-
Again pull the material up until it becomes snug. If necessary, reach down and repeat until the sock is in place.
NOTE: For knee high "in place" is: comfortably under, but close to the bend of the knee. For thigh high "in place" is: comfortably under, but close to the buttock.
-
Once in place, smooth the sock over the surface of the leg.
NOTE: Many socks have a lot of built in stretch and over-pulling can make them elongate over time. Some users will put on "sock donning" rubberized gloves to help with smoothing.
-
If you are having trouble seek assistance.
Many factors can complicate the application of the socks. Fortunately Beaverton Pharmacy is here to help. Although we can't put them on for you, our certified fitters have decades of practice helping people circumvent difficulties by finding the right combination of material, tools, and techniques so sock application gets easier with practice.
