The comfort of thigh high socks also depends on the elasticity of these socks. Unlike ordinary socks, the elastic zone of thigh-high socks should cover the ankle to the middle of the thigh and even the top of the thigh. These socks need to expand from 3 inches to over 12 inches, which challenges the elasticity of the socks. Unless you try them on yourself, it's hard to find out that those socks are too tight in the first place. Socks that are too tight are difficult to rise above the mid-thigh because their maximum width is insufficient to support the thickness of the thigh. Even barely rising above the thighs, they can make dreaded annular dents and even cut off circulation. Comfortable thigh high socks rise to thigh level easily without you even having to extend them too much.

Thigh-high socks also can't be too loose. If the thigh high socks are too loose, they may slip all the way down, even on the knee. Unless you use garters to match them, you'll have to adjust their heights throughout the night. High-quality thigh high socks do not need garter belts at all. Take the Kayhoma thigh high socks, for example, with a 3-inch wide band at the top of the socks. On the one hand they are very strong and flexible, extending up to 12 inches. On the other hand they also contract very softly and fit, just stay comfortably on the thigh without being too tight or slipping.
Kayhoma thigh high socks are so comfortable because they are woven from long-staple cotton, they are soft, warm, fluffy and breathable. They're not tight at all, but they're not loose, they just sit comfortably on the thigh, the kind of thigh high socks you want. That's why Kayhoma is the best brand of thigh high socks.
