Zip-Up (Easy-On)

Compression socks with zip fastening - all the gentle support, a fraction of the wrestling. The easy-on answer for tricky mornings.

Quick answer: compression socks with zip have a full-length side zip so you step in and zip up rather than pulling a tight sock over your foot. They are the easiest style to put on if bending, grip or a growing bump makes a standard pair a struggle.

About our zip-up (easy-on)

Let's be honest: pulling on a snug sock is the hardest part of owning one. Compression socks with zip fastening fix that. A smooth side zip opens the whole sock flat, so you place your foot in, zip up the side and you are done - no tugging, no hopping, no morning wrestle. Compression socks zipper styles are a quiet hero for anyone with limited reach or grip, for mums-to-be in the later months, and for anyone who just wants their morning back. Some people search for compression socks with zippers, others for compression socks zip or zip-up - it is all the same easy-on sock. Behind the zip you get the same gentle, graduated support as the rest of the range, with a soft fabric guard so the zip never touches skin, and a small locking pull that stays put all day. Compression socks that zip come in knee-high lengths, in sizes up to wide-calf and plus-size. Free UK delivery over £20, dispatched within 48 hours, and covered by our 100% money-back guarantee.

Zip-Up (Easy-On) - FAQs

Is the zip comfortable against the leg?

You never feel it - a soft fabric guard runs the full length behind the zip, so there is no metal or plastic against your skin.

Who are zip-up styles best for?

Anyone who finds regular snug socks a struggle to pull on - limited reach or grip, late pregnancy, or simply a preference for an easier start to the day.

Will the zip come down during the day?

No - each zip has a small locking pull that stays exactly where you leave it until you fold it down at night.

How do you put compression socks on?

Turn the sock inside out down to the heel, pop your foot in, then roll the fabric gently up the leg rather than yanking from the top. Dry skin and dry socks help, morning is the easiest time, and a zip-up style takes most of the effort out entirely.
