Bamboo compression socks are for you if you want a sock that sits a little firmer around the calf than an ordinary sock, but still feels soft and comfortable. Here you will find bamboo support stockings from Zent in three colours: black, light grey and navy. They are made for days when you stand or walk a lot, and for journeys where you sit still for hours. Many people search for bamboo support socks, bamboo support hose or bamboo compression stockings, and that is exactly the type of sock you will find here: a soft sock with light support.
What is a bamboo support sock
A support sock fits closer to the leg than an ordinary sock. It gives a feeling that your calf is being held together a little when you have been on your feet all day. Zent's bamboo compression socks are not a medical product, and they do not replace compression stockings fitted for you by a doctor or a pharmacy. Think of them as a comfortable everyday sock with extra firmness, not as a treatment. If you need real medical compression, speak to your doctor or pharmacist.
When they make sense
Support socks are typically worn on days with a lot of standing work, for example in a shop, a kitchen, healthcare or a warehouse. They are also popular as flight socks when you have to sit for a long time on a plane, train or in a car. Many people also wear them in summer, because bamboo feels lighter against the skin than many synthetic materials. To read more about how to use them, see our posts on compression socks on long travel days and compression socks in everyday life.
Compression socks for women and men
The support socks come in two sizes, 36/40 and 41/45. That means they fit both women and men. If your shoe size is between 36 and 40, choose the smaller size, and if it is 41 to 45, choose the larger one. If you are looking for bamboo compression socks for women, 36/40 is usually the right choice, while most men wear 41/45.
Three colours for different needs
Black is the classic colour that goes with workwear, suit trousers and dark shoes. Light grey is a little more casual and works well with jeans and trainers. Navy is a good alternative to black if you wear a lot of blue. As the three colours have the same fit and sizes, it is easy to buy several pairs and rotate them through the week.
Price, care and delivery
See the price on the product page. Follow the care label in the sock so it keeps its firmness and shape for as long as possible. We offer free shipping from €80 (UK: from £70). If the size is not right, you have 100-day returns. If you also need ordinary everyday socks, you will find bamboo socks for women and bamboo socks for men.
