A stocking for a compression-therapy patient comprises a foot portion matingly removably receiving and surrounding a foot. A closable/openable leg portion extends from the foot portion, removably receives a leg, defines adjoining edges of the leg portion, and includes a band defining an uppermost area of the leg portion and material of which is more compressive/supportive than a remainder thereof. A fastening device extends along the leg portion and continuously fastens/unfastens the edges to/from each other and closes/opens the leg portion such that the stocking can secure and apply continuous pressure to the foot/leg. The device includes a zipper and an enfoldment connected and secured along a continuous inner edge of the zipper, including material that is different than the band and/or remainder of the leg portion, and disposed between the zipper and skin and contacting the skin such that the enfoldment prevents the zipper from contacting the skin.
