Kayhoma was quick to tweak the manufacturing process for these socks. The first is that they adjusted the band at the top of the socks. The band at the top of these socks was increased to 3 inches. This gives the sock much better grip on the thigh, the stability of the sock on the thigh is greatly increased, it hardly slips, and you don't need a garter at all. The wider bands have the added benefit that they have very little excess compression on the thighs, they don't create a dent in the thighs, and the rebound of these bands is more of a hug than a restraint for the thighs, so The wider band solves the problem of socks slipping and brings better comfort.
In addition, Kayhoma also replaced all the elastic threads, replacing the latex elastic threads with high-quality spandex. On the one hand, spandex is very friendly to people with latex allergies. The bigger advantage is that high-quality spandex brings very good reliability. These spandex elastic threads are very resistant to washing and high temperature drying, they hardly age. It turns out that even though these socks have been washed and dried many times, their elasticity remains like new with little to no loss.
In fact, the elasticity of high-quality spandex is also very different from ordinary elastic threads. From a microscopic point of view, high-quality spandex elastic threads have better elasticity, not because their maximum width is significantly improved, but because of the difference in how their elasticity is released. The stretch of high-quality spandex is very soft and restrained, which allows the Kayhoma Thigh Thigh Socks to not be too tight when stretched, even when these socks are stretched to their limit. Their rebound is also gentle, and overall, these socks sit comfortably on the thighs, not too tight, not loose, and don't slip.
This is why many customers report that the new version of the socks is very comfortable, but also has good support. Kayhoma is the best brand of thigh high socks.
