February 03, 2009 - Peachtree City, GA, United States -- Many people wear SIGVARIS compression therapy socks to reduce their risk of swollen ankles, tired feet, circulation issues or discomfort during pregnancy, while traveling, standing or sitting for prolonged periods of time or if they have been diagnosed with a leg vein circulation disorder.
“SIGVARIS received so many positive comments from women about our new Casual Cotton socks that we wanted to give them a new fashionable color, Vanilla, to choose in this comfortable, everyday sock.
