In the preferred embodiment, there is disclosed the elastic support hosiery comprising a tubular stocking adapted to be placed over the foot, surrounding the ankle and at least the lower calf of the user. A zippered opening is provided in the stocking longitudinally thereof, such zippered opening commencing at its lower end at approximately the interior malleolus of the ankle and extending upwardly, longitudinally of the hosiery permitting the hosiery, when the zipper is open, readily to be pulled on over the ankle, and when closed, tightly and firmly supporting the body extremity enclosed thereby.
