Standard knee highs tend to bind, dig, or roll down when stretched over an 18 inch leg. This wide calf cut provides extra horizontal circumference across the calf panel so the pattern does not overstretch. A classic polka pattern adds personality to work scrubs or casual outfits without sacrificing structure. Sized in X-Large and XX-Large, each three-pair pack delivers 15-20 mmHg mechanical pressure, resting tightest around the ankle and decreasing toward the upper welt.

A standard straight tube distorts over wider calves, turning round circles into strained ovals. This cut adds crosswise knit volume so the polka design sits cleanly on calves measuring up to 22 inch. You receive 3 pairs in the pack.
The fabric is knit from 80% viscose from bamboo, 17% nylon, and 3% spandex. Bamboo viscose produces a smooth, cool touch against the skin, though the dense knit takes longer to line-dry than pure synthetic socks. Hand wash or run on a standard machine cycle.
Choose your fit using your shoe size and calf circumference rather than generic dress sizes. The X-Large fits US shoe sizes 5-9 with a 12- 16 inch calf, while the XX-Large fits US shoe sizes 5-9 with a 16- 22 inch calf. Pulling the sock on requires gathering the leg with both hands.

Compression comes from spandex under tension. Heat relaxes spandex permanently, so the two things that kill a compression sock are a hot wash and a hot dryer. Nothing else comes close.
