We've got your back with a comprehensive video that will walk you through the essential steps to ensure a flawless fit.
They need to break in.
Your Supportive Tights might feel small at first as they need movement to break them in properly. They are going to mold perfectly to your body, so the more you move, the more the cables will work their magic and mold to your body. Check out our video below, which offers helpful tips like how to adjust the cables as they break in for best fit.
THE SUPPORT might FEEL INVISIBLE.
Unlike a traditional brace, your Supportive Apparel will not feel rigid or bulky. The Stoko Support System is intended to feel invisible and engage when you need it. The 90 feet of high strength cables mimic your muscles and ligaments to reinforce your body, while still allowing you to move freely. Don’t worry if you don’t feel anything major, that’s the beauty of the design.
