Relief Knee High Graduated Compression Socks, 15-20 mmHg - Comfortable Unisex Design - Closed Toe, Black, X-Large Full Calf

I am 45, very overweight, diabetic, and I get edema in my calves and ankles. I have tried several brands of compression socks; I would rate these highest of any I have tried. I will address what seem to be a few common complaints about them. Certain brands are made to be "short" when relaxed (off). Not a problem - they stretch easily when put on properly. These are no exception. The problem is, this natural shortness makes them prone to sliding down. These do that under certain circumstances. They are made with a hem at the top to be more stiff to prevent rolling down. These have never rolled down on me. Rolling down is far worse, as it causes a tight ring around the leg and can be painful. There are products that can help prevent slippage; many are a sticky substance that you rub onto your leg where the stocking top meets your leg. I have never tried such a product. These stockings are fairly thick. Any stocking will insulate, and could be hot in warmer ambient temperatures. I don't think these are overly thick - they just seem to be made of a sturdy material, and they feel like it. They do not seem susceptible to runs and tears. They also have an excellent surface texture. They are smooth enough to slide over my feet well and not drag too much. At the same time, as I cross a leg over the other to put one on, it "grabs" my straight leg to help keep my bent leg from slipping down. The care instructions say it is OK to machine wash, and machine dry on low heat. I just machine wash and lay out to dry. I think that heat will quickly take the flexibility out of many compression stockings. I have 4 pairs, and I wear each for 2 days. Yes, I turn them inside out (as I take them off) and wear them inside out for the second day. Some manufacturers say not to do that, but I have not experienced a downside. All in all, a very good product at a very good price. Better than any other that I have tried.

Got these for my father a while back and they are his favorite compression socks. He says they wear well and are soft and comfortable. I believe he even may sleep in them. They really help with his swelling. He does have large calves, and these socks seem to fit over them with no problem.

Excellent, support hose. Hard to get on and off, but once in place they really work well.

This is a very good product, but relatively expensive. I wished I would use them more often. They're a little difficult to get on and take off.

I bought these on the recommendation from my orthopedic surgeon after I broke my ankle. They work great to help keep the swelling down in my foot and ankle.

Good fit, well-made, comfortable.

Seem to be a bit weak for the strength they are supposed to be

Good Stockings; supportive

They were recommended by our doctor! They are comfortable.

I like it and when I go to bed, I can wear these instead my farrowrap.

Por el costo, creo que no vale la pena, hay otras marcas de menor valor y ajustan mucho mejor me arrepiento de haberlas comprado
