Isobar socks are designed to deliver specific pressures to the leg. To prolong the life of the sock, it is important to put the sock on correctly and follow the instructions below:

• Turn the body of the sock inside out holding the heel with your finger and thumb, with only the heel visible and the foot inside the inverted body

• Holding the heel, push your foot in place until your toes can be felt against the toe of the sock

• Gripping with your finger and thumb, ease up the body of the sock over the heel/ankle with the heel of the sock located over your heel and then lay the sock over the calf without pulling more than necessary to remove creases

• Make sure you do not pull the sock too far up the leg as this spreads out the elastic fibres

• For the open toe sock, make sure the end of the garment is where the little toe joins the foot

• Take care not to snag the garment with fingernails or jewellery – you may choose to take off jewellery or wear rubber gloves to reduce this risk.
