Who Should Use This Product?
SIGVARIS Men's Essential Cotton 230 may be a good choice for men who:
- Have been advised by a healthcare professional to wear 20-30 mmHg compression.
- Want a comfortable cotton compression sock for daily use.
- Prefer a closed-toe calf-high design.
- Need a sock that can remain securely positioned during normal activity.
- Prefer breathable materials against the skin.
- Spend extended periods sitting or traveling.
- Need compression hosiery for the management of certain types of venous edema, phlebolymphedema, or early-stage lymphedema, when clinically appropriate.
Important: Compression therapy is not appropriate for everyone. If you have circulation problems, significant arterial disease, unexplained leg swelling, skin problems, or another medical condition, consult your healthcare professional before using firm compression hosiery. SIGVARIS recommends determining the appropriate compression product with guidance from a physician when needed.
How It Works
1. Choose the correct size.
Measure your ankle and calf according to the manufacturer's sizing instructions. Correct sizing is essential for comfortable, effective compression.
2. Put the sock on correctly.
Turn the sock inside out to the heel, position the foot and heel, then gradually work the material upward over the calf. Avoid pulling exclusively from the top band.
3. Smooth out wrinkles.
Make sure the fabric lies smoothly against the leg without bunching or folds.
4. Position the grip-top.
The silicone dotted grip-top should sit comfortably around the calf and help keep the sock in place.
5. Wear as directed.
The graduated compression is designed to provide supportive pressure while the breathable cotton-rich construction helps promote all-day comfort.

Sizing Guidance
Proper sizing is one of the most important factors when choosing compression hosiery. SIGVARIS sizing for the Cotton 230 line uses ankle circumference, calf circumference, and calf length, with separate short and long options. For men's styles, SIGVARIS lists short and long calf-length measurements, so selecting the correct length is important for proper positioning.
Always refer to the current SIGVARIS size chart for the specific product configuration before ordering.
