The SMOOTHTOE® brand was created in 2003, based on an idea that came from the former head of vascular medicine at Mayo Clinic. It was suggested that a compression sock was needed, which was easier to put on, had a seamless toe, and had an athletic look and feel so that people would want to wear it. As a result, our company developed SMOOTHTOE® — using all of those qualities. Soon after that, we became one of the socks of choice at major medical facilities like Mayo Clinic and VA’s across the country. Our socks quickly became doctor-preferred because doctors found that when they dispensed SMOOTHTOE® to their patients and had them put the socks on in the clinic, the patients came back to follow-up appointments wearing their SMOOTHTOE® socks –which translates to higher patient compliance!
Over the years, our socks have become popular also as an “everyday” necessity. Once customers try them on, they don’t want to take them off. And they quickly decide to wear them every day – to work, to play, even to sit –just to make their feet and legs feel better. We are finding that all walks of life are now wearing SMOOTHTOE®, not just people who wear them as medically necessary. Everyone from doctors, nurses, construction workers, people working retail on their feet all day, athletes … the list goes on. Why are they wearing them, you ask? Because SMOOTHTOE® simply makes their feet feel better.
