Reinforced heel and toe stockings are often referred to by their shortened name, RHT stockings. Knowing this right off the bat will save you some confusion when shopping for these stockings online. Reinforced heel and toe stockings are a good choice for people who want extra protection for those areas of high foot stress, as well as those who enjoy the unique design of these stockings.

Some people tend to wear out the heels and toes of their stockings faster than others. This can be due to factors such as walking style or the type of shoes worn. Wearing shoes that cause friction on the toes or heels, of course, will more rapidly wear out those parts of the stocking. If this is a continued problem, and if blisters form on your feet, then obviously the problem is more than your stockings, and your shoes should be fixed or replaced.

About Reinforced Heel and Toe Stockings

The reinforced areas of the stocking foot are almost always a darker color than the rest of the stocking. This has the practical benefit of being able to distinguish between your reinforced and your regular stockings when you go hunting for them in the drawer. Since the dark toe and heel are disruptive when wearing sandals, these stockings are meant to be worn with closed-toe shoes.

Unfortunately, some people have formed the opinion that reinforced heel and toe stockings can't be sexy or attractive. Nothing, however, could be farther from the truth. In fact, the darker, reinforced fabric is considered to be an attractive design feature. Provided that they're well designed with quality material, reinforced stockings are often thought to be more attractive, and certainly more interesting, than their sandalfoot counterparts.
