Designed for an everyday, easy-to-don opaque stocking, the Sigvaris Essential Opaque Knee High stocking, often just called a compression sock, provides 30-40 mmHg of graduated compression in a closed toe style, for women. Part of Sigvaris' Opaque line, it's made with double-covered spandex yarns in Sigvaris' largest range of sizes, designed for easy donning even for wearers with arthritis or limited hand strength. It offers a reliable option for wearers managing venous edema, phlebolymphedema, or early-stage lymphedema who need an everyday opaque stocking. Sigvaris has been 100% family-owned since its founding in Switzerland in 1864, a heritage that continues to guide its commitment to medical-grade compression quality.

"I ordered the Select Comfort, but received Soft Opaque. Both series are almost equal. The slight difference is that Soft Opaque’s fabric is softer and more comfortable; however, the Select Comfort’s pressure is better."
"Great support hose!"
"Comfortable for the most part, could be better."
"Super comfortable, fits perfectly."
