To use these Sockwell compression socks, simply put them on like you would any other pair of socks. Make sure they fit well according to the size guide. For best results, wear them during long periods of standing, sitting, or physical activity. When it comes to washing, you have two options. You can choose the easy wash method: turn the socks inside out, put them in the machine on a warm cycle, and tumble dry on low heat. Just remember not to bleach them. Or, if you want to be more eco - friendly and take better care of the socks, use the caring wash method: machine wash in cold water and let them air dry. Also, if you're between sizes, always size up to ensure a comfortable fit.
