Support hosiery is a term used to describe socks, stockings, pantyhose or other hosiery made of nylon or polyester with spandex or other elastic fiber added to give support to the legs. Support hosiery has elastics in the legs to reduce leg fatigue. The principle of support is to provide graduated compression to the leg. A total support pantyhose is one that has control in the panty portion as well as support in the legs. As in the past, support hose no longer conjures up images of heavy, surgical garments. Today, support hose has fashion sheerness and color as well as durability. We carry a wide array of support hose available in many styles, sizes and colors.
