Can I cut off the feet of my compression stockings?

No! Please don't!

Please do not cut off the feet on any of your compression stockings.

Compression stockings must have the foot portion because it acts like an anchor for the compression stockings. All compression stockings on LegSmart.com are gradient compression, which means that the compression is strongest at the ankle and get lighter towards the top. If you cut off the foot, the compression stocking will roll and be very uncomfortable.

If you are concerned about shoe size of comfort of your feet, consider wearing an open toe compression stocking. Every brand LegSmart.com carries makes an open toe compression stocking. Please feel free to contact our Customer Care Team if you have any questions about finding the right compression stocking for you.
