How to Put On Compression Socks (THE EASIEST WAY!)

  1. Sit down in a comfortable chair with your legs extended in front of you.
  2. Place the compression sock on a flat surface, with the heel pocket facing up.
  3. Reach into the sock and grab the heel pocket with your dominant hand.
  4. While still holding the heel pocket, turn the sock inside out until the toe end is facing you.
  5. Gently slide your foot into the sock, making sure that your heel is fully in the heel pocket.
  6. Once your foot is in the sock, use your hands to smooth out any wrinkles or folds.
  7. Grasp the top of the sock and pull it up your leg, being careful not to twist it.
  8. Continue pulling the sock up until it is snug but not too tight.
  9. If you have trouble getting the sock up to your thigh, you can use a rubber band or hair tie to secure it around your calf.
