Expander Inserts (Socks) - 1 Piece

A single expander insert that widens one Hidez compression sock: correct pressure on a bigger limb or over a dressing.

This Expander Insert is an accessory for Hidez compression socks, not a standalone garment. It adds width to a single sock so it can be used on a horse with a larger or thicker-set limb, or fitted over a bandage or dressing, without stretching the sock beyond the fit it was engineered for. Ideal when only one leg needs the extra room.

Why it works

A compression sock only delivers its designed graduated gradient at the correct stretch. Over-stretched on a large limb or over a dressing, the pressure becomes too high and the gradient distorts. The insert adds material width so the sock sits at its intended tension, preserving the correct graduated pressure profile that supports venous and lymphatic return.

Key features

• Single insert: widen exactly the sock that needs it
• Widens Hidez sock fit for larger or thicker-set limbs
• Allows a sock to be fitted over a bandage or dressing
• Preserves the correct compression gradient instead of over-stretching the sock
• Sized to match Hidez sock sizes for a consistent fit
• Available in Black

Sizing & fit

Inserts run in the same height-based sizes as Hidez socks, from 14 to 19.2 in half-hand steps. Choose the size that matches the sock you are using it with. Correct fit still means correct pressure: the insert exists to keep the sock at its designed tension, so match sizes carefully and check the Hidez sizing guide if unsure.

What's included

One Hidez Expander Insert in Black, in your chosen size. Compression socks are sold separately.

Care

Machine wash cold on a delicate cycle with mild detergent. Air dry only, as tumble drying damages the compression fibres.
