Summary

This study tested whether special insoles called Light Legs can improve blood flow in the legs (venous return) and quality of life in people with vein problems. Fifty-four adults used the insoles for 14 days and filled out questionnaires about their symptoms and how easy the insoles were to use. The goal was to see if the insoles provided quick relief and made daily life better.
