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

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.

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.

Good strong support stockings. They run on the small side. Good support.

Tight fit

These socks are a must have if you have leg swelling and discomfort. I have worn graduated compression stockings for 30 years. These are the most comfortable socks I have ever worn. They are very comfortable. Wide band on top and easy to put on.

I really like the firmness and texture. They are made well. I switched from thigh high to knee high because they would constantly slide down my legs. Well to my disappointment the knee highs do to. Very annoying

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.
