Mostly comfortable compressions stockings get the job done. My one complaint is my ankles are tiny and the stockings are so tight at the ankles they form lines across tops of my ankles forming red lines. It's difficult to have range of motion in my ankles. They do help with leg vein problems though. With other brands of compression stockings I haven't had issues with the ankles being so tight. I bought the right size (M) but ankle size fits XS.

The compression is fine but they bunch up on the ankle and they hurt on the thigh, the silicone lines cut into the skin. They provide compression but lack the comfort.

Sizing chart on-line, as an image attached to the Amazon listing, can be misleading. The best sizing comes on the actual package (a little late if you've already ordered wrong size). On line, the chart implies that each style corresponds with a specific shoe size, with calf sizes listed at the bottom that don't correspond to the shoe size or the style size. The actual package makes clear that only "Style 40, medium compression" should choose by shoe size. All other styles ("Style 80, 306, 306(O)," which are the firm and extra-firm compression) should choose by calf height and calf circumference, period. This can make a big difference. In my case, looking at the on-line chart, I had to flip a coin between calf size and shoe size--one steered me toward a small, the other toward a medium. I had previously purchased a medium based on this--waste of money, as it was too big. Turns out that particular style should have been sized just based on calf size, which, for me, was a small. Eventually purchased the correct size, but couldn't return the one that was too large since it's an "intimate" clothing item that had been opened. So again: calf size for firm/extra-firm compression; shoe size for medium compression. Otherwise awesome product--very sturdy with wide band that stays up and with "stickiness"/grip that doesn't deteriorate with washings and line drying. Decent transparency for a firm compression stocking, and much better natural-looking skin color for my super-white skin than a lot of the other brands' colors--not too pale (like, say, cream), not too dark (not "suntan"). The one star off is just because of the sizing confusion since it is an expensive product that can't be sent back.

I tried several pairs and these are the ones that work. I needed something sheer to wear with a knee length dress to a wedding. The nude is a little lighter than you think of a nude color- so I decided not to wear black shoes as the contrast looked a little too stark. I didn't want to buy black one for fear of them looking like tights. Compression that are actually sheer are hard to come by... and this is as good as it gets.

I am 5'11" tall with average to thin legs. These come to the upper part of my thigh and no problem with them slipping.

These have been great. I liked how sheer they are becUse I needed to wear them for a wedding. I can't stand long periods without my legs hurting. These make my legs feel great and I wore them for 8+ hours with no problem. Because I needed to wear open toe shoes it was easy to make these toeless which I prefer anyway. It's hard to find sheer toeless decent compression stockings. All I did was wear the stockings with the shoes I needed and traced where my toes needed to show. Then I put a line of clear nail polish all the way around and let it almost dry. Then I took off the stockings and cut where I had traced with pinking shears. They are now toeless and don't have any runs. Perfect.
