I have to wear compression socks and had been sent by my doctor to the pharmacy section of the local big box pharmacy. They were the typical black stockings but I wanted something a little more fun. I came straight to amazon and boy was I glad I did. Fun colors and shapes for these socks made me feel like I wasn’ wearing my moms old compression socks. I wear these fun socks with shorts and even skirts. I get complements everywhere I ago!! The compression is perfect for me. I do have larger calves so I was a bit worried but fit was perfect. These do not fall or slide down and the quality makes them feel like they are worth every penny. Putting them on was not as hard as I was afraid and the ease of use was much better than the traditional ones. They definitely helped the circulation in my lower extremities.
