For swollen feet

Socks feel tight at the bottom of the foot or on the shank, the ribbing of the sock weighs down and leaves unpleasant marks on your ankle. Your feet swell throughout the day, and the sock doesn't feel like it fits at any point during the day, slipping off in the morning and pressing against your skin in the evening. Sound familiar?

Because swollen feet can be uncomfortable, and the skin can even become sensitised and thin, you need a sock that makes you feel more comfortable, without irritating your mind or sensitive skin.

Swollen feet thrive in socks made from comfortable, soft materials that don't trap moisture and keep your feet warm. Above all, choose socks with an untightened toe. If you also have swelling on your feet, a wide-leg option is an excellent choice.

For swollen feet, we recommend breathable and warming merino wool during the day and wonderfully soft bamboo sleep socks at night. Our merino wool socks are always seamless, so they won't rub on your footwear.

When choosing a sock, in addition to the untightened leg, you should pay attention to where the swelling is on your feet. If there is also swelling on the bottom of the foot, choose socks that also have a wider instep. The skin on swollen feet may be thinned, making soft, non-itchy and cushy materials feel comfortable. For example, merino wool for daytime wear and super-soft bamboo for night.

When the skin on swollen feet is sensitive to chafing, socks should be seamless. This is easy to check from the product's feature icons.
