1. Roll the stocking down to the base of the foot, including the heel. 2. Stretch the foot part of the stocking with both hands and slowly slip your foot in, up to the heel. 3. Then slowly and evenly roll the stocking up over the leg, making sure the heel is properly positioned. 4. Adjust the positioning of the stocking by gently turning it, especially around the heel. *If you are also wearing compression tights, follow the same steps up to the knee for both legs.* 5. Pull the remaining leg part up to the knee, positioning the stocking with the palm of your hand. Avoid pulling directly on the top edge of the stocking. 6. Continue rolling the rest of the tights up to the gusset and adjust the position of the stocking yarn with the palm of your hand to ensure even compression.
