I’ll be completely upfront: I have not been told that I *need* to wear compression socks for medical/therapeutic purposes.
But some days I do. Why?
Well, quite simply, because compression socks are comfortable and practical.
Compression socks don’t wiggle themselves down into the toes of my rain boots to make awkward, uncomfortable lumps to walk on.
Compression socks stay up where I expect them to be instead of inching their way down my calves. I don’t spend all day tugging at my socks.
I can put them on and forget about them. Well, forget about them until I want to show off the cuddling otters, bodacious guitars or mis-matched silliness of bacon and eggs!
