I started wearing Jobst when I had some vein work done in 2011. These were recommended to wear during recovery by my doctor. My first two pair were covered by my insurance at that time. The way my legs felt while wearing them was a deciding factor on continuing to wear past my legs healing. I wear them with regular socks during the months I wear slacks and jeans. While I love summer shorts and flip flops it is always a relief to return to these Jobst socks in the fall. I was thrilled to find the exact same style as was originally prescribed by the surgeon. (I had saved the box?). Since I wear these every day fall through early spring I have several pairs. I find these have held up very well and the price is far better than I have found elsewhere. These compression socks (20-30mm/hg) stay up on my legs, though my legs are slender. Please note that because they are compression support socks, you do have to develop a method of putting them on and removing. Do I like having to wear something like this...nope! But my activities would be much more limited if I did not wear them. So I do!!!Very quick delivery if in stock and again good price. I'm going to order a pair for my husband for Christmas as his legs are giving him some ache issues.
