Compression socks with zipper – 15–20 mmHg, easy to put on
Compression socks with zipper – 15–20 mmHg, easy to put on
Compression that is easier to put on
PureStep are knee-high compression socks with 15–20 mmHg graduated compression and a side zipper. Open the zipper, insert your foot, pull the sock into position and close it.
The zipper reduces the amount of tight material that needs to be pulled over the foot and calf. This makes PureStep a practical option for everyday use, work and longer journeys when conventional compression socks are difficult to put on.
How PureStep works
The compression is graduated, meaning pressure is highest around the ankle and gradually decreases further up the leg. The sock also features an open toe and a side zipper for easier application.
- 15–20 mmHg graduated compression – highest pressure around the ankle and lower pressure further up the leg.
- Side zipper – makes the sock easier to open and put on.
- Open toe – provides more room for the toes.
- Knee-high design – intended primarily for daytime wear.
- Black or beige – two discreet colour options.
When is PureStep suitable?
PureStep can be worn during long days on your feet, desk work and longer journeys when you want graduated compression.
The zipper can also be useful if you find traditional compression socks difficult to pull over the foot and calf.
How to put them on
- Ideally, put the socks on in the morning.
- Open the zipper fully and insert your foot.
- Position the heel correctly and pull the sock up over the calf.
- Smooth out any folds and close the zipper from bottom to top.
- Check that the top sits just below the back of the knee without digging in.
The socks are primarily intended for daytime use and are normally removed at night unless a healthcare professional has advised otherwise.
Care
Close the zipper before washing. Wash at 40°C, preferably in a laundry bag, and allow to air dry.
Avoid fabric softener, bleach and tumble drying, as these may affect the elasticity of the material.
Compression is not suitable for everyone. Consult a healthcare professional before use if you have or suspect reduced arterial circulation in your legs, diabetes with reduced sensation, heart failure, a skin infection or wound, a known blood clot, or a recent leg operation.
Remove the sock if you experience numbness, tingling or pain, or if your foot becomes cold, pale or bluish. Sudden one-sided swelling, warmth or pain in a leg should be assessed by a healthcare professional.

What does 15–20 mmHg mean?
mmHg refers to compression pressure. PureStep uses graduated compression, with the highest pressure around the ankle and progressively lower pressure further up the leg.
Are they easier to put on than regular compression socks?
The zipper allows the sock to open along the side, reducing the amount of compressive material that needs to be pulled over the foot and calf.
Why do they have an open toe?
The open toe provides more room for the toes and makes it easier to check how the foot feels and looks while the sock is being worn.
Can I wear them on flights?
They can be worn on longer journeys as everyday compression socks. If you have an increased risk of blood clots, consult a doctor about suitable compression and other preventive measures.
Can I sleep in them?
They are primarily intended for daytime wear. Do not sleep in them unless a healthcare professional has specifically advised you to do so.
When should they be replaced?
Compression can decrease as the material loses elasticity. If the socks feel noticeably looser than when new or no longer fit evenly, it is time to replace them.
Good to know: PureStep are graduated-compression socks intended for everyday use. They do not replace medical assessment or individually prescribed compression therapy. Seek medical advice for sudden or one-sided swelling, pain, wounds or other new symptoms.
