Class 1 Compression Knee-Highs

Class 1 compression knee-highs: gentle, graduated compression (10–15 mmHg) that relieves the feeling of heavy, tired legs, at work and when travelling.

Long days on your feet, hours sitting at a desk, journeys by plane, train or car: these class 1 compression knee-highs reduce the feeling of tiredness, prevent heavy, swollen legs, restore your legs’ vitality and keep you comfortable all day. Thin, discreet and skin-coloured, they are easy to put on.

Their everyday advantages

1. Easy to put on and take off: unlike full-length stockings, knee-highs stop below the knee, which makes them easier to put on and take off.
2. Ideal for venous issues localised in the calves: targeted action on venous circulation in the legs; they are perfect for heavy legs, mild to moderate varicose veins, and venous insufficiency, which mainly affects the calves and lower leg.
3. Pleasant even in summer: with no compression on the thigh, they leave plenty of freedom of movement, especially when walking.
4. Stay in place: they sit firmly below the knee without slipping.
5. Discreet design: matte, silky, skin-coloured finish; they look like ordinary fine knee-highs while delivering a real health benefit, and go with any outfit.
6. “Second skin” feel: graduated compression suited to the leg’s shape, comfortable to wear all day.

They improve blood circulation: they prevent blood from pooling in the legs and help prevent varicose veins and pain. These knee-highs offer welcome comfort every day.

How to put them on

1. Put them on in the morning, when your legs are rested.
2. Turn the knee-high inside out down to the heel, slip your foot in and position the heel properly.
3. Gradually roll the fabric upwards without pulling on the top band.
4. Smooth out any creases: the top band sits just below the knee, without being folded over or rolled.

Take off rings and bracelets and watch out for long nails, which can ladder the fabric. Wear the knee-highs during the day and take them off in the evening. For care, follow the instructions on the packaging.

These knee-highs are suitable for people without advanced venous disease. If in doubt, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
