Summer is the time for summer...
The author, who sits and writes articles all day long, has swollen legs that become flat by the time she returns home. In summer, I wear light clothing, and the air conditioner also adds to the coldness, so this is a particular problem for me.
In winter, I used to wear "compression socks" at home to keep my legs warm, but it is too hot to wear them now... I was troubled to hear that Pip's leg care brand "SLIMWALK" has a product for summer.
The brand offers limited-edition products for summer every year, and I immediately got my hands on this year's "Kutsurogi Jikan no SlimWalk Toe Therapy Dry and Cool".
Summer 2015 version
This product is a compression sock with a "toe kaiho~ cushion" at the tip that separates the toes. The green color looks cool enough to go with summer loungewear.
Toe part is firmer.
I put my five toes between the cushions and put them on... they feel great!
Great "Kaiho~" feeling!
My toes, which are usually pressed from both sides by pumps and sandals, are gently spread apart, giving the impression that blood flow improves all at once. There are sponges and other things you can put between your toes, but socks are very convenient because you can walk around with them on.
The socks are made of a hemp blend material that feels light and smooth on the skin. The mesh knitting of the deer mesh provides just the right amount of tightness for comfort, and the toes stick out, so there is no risk of getting soggy. I spend most of my time at home in shorts, but I sometimes notice that my legs get cold, so these socks will be a good countermeasure against the cold.
Light and breathable material
Two different knitting methods provide moderate tightness.
As for the swelling-reducing effect, I felt that even if I just wore them from the time I got home until before going to bed, the silhouette of my legs looked better the next day. This is just my personal impression, but it seems as if my legs were reset overnight, which makes me happy when I look in the mirror in the morning when I get dressed.
The company also seems to have released a product that pursues an even cooler feeling by kneading "natural jade" into the fabric, so I will give it a try when the weather gets hotter.
