Why Proper Socks Are Essential for Active Seniors
As we age, staying active becomes even more important for maintaining health and independence. However, seniors often face unique challenges when it comes to foot care, from swelling to reduced circulation. At Extra Wide Sock Company, we’ve designed three specialized lines—Loose Fit, Extra Wide, and Bariatric—to provide seniors with the comfort and support they need to stay on their feet. Let’s explore why proper socks are a crucial part of active aging and how our products can help.
Foot Health Challenges for Seniors
-
Swelling and Edema: Common in older adults, especially those who stand or sit for long periods.
-
Reduced Circulation: Can lead to discomfort and slower healing.
-
Thin or Sensitive Skin: Increases the risk of irritation and injuries.

Extra Wide Socks
Designed for moderate swelling or wider feet, this line offers enhanced support and cushioning for walking or standing. With advanced moisture-wicking technology, they keep feet dry and prevent irritation.
