Compression Stocking Guide to Costs

The price differences in Compression Stockings and Socks can be confusing.  The pictures look the same and the descriptions don't always shed a lot of light on why one sock costs so much more than another.  Is it just brand?  Are they all the same?  The short answer is, no, there are important differences between a manufacture's economy line and their premium line.  Companies like Jobst make a wide range of compression stockings and socks.  All compression stockings need to be hand washed and line dried.  There are washing solutions and special donning gloves that can help make your economy or your premium stockings last much longer.  They have some that are low cost and some that are more expensive.  The reasoning for price can often be found in the materials.
