When I was 15 years-old I had surgery to remove melanoma on my foot, losing a handful of lymph nodes in the process. A year later I developed lymphedema and so began my lifelong relationship with compression socks.

I've tried countless pairs over the years but most are too tight, too hot, too loud, or just too damn ugly to wear everyday. I found myself hiding them under my clothes and most days I wouldn’t wear them at all.

It was starting to affect my health and I had a hunch that I wasn't the only one.

So, while 4 months pregnant and swollen in more ways than one, I set out to create an elevated alternative to the compression socks we all know and hate. These are the compression socks I always wish I had but could never find.

I truly love these socks. I hope you will too.
