Revainrating 4 out of 5

My favorite compression hose!

I also have the open toes and they are awesome too. I've tried medium and large in both styles and prefer the medium fit. Height: I'm 5ft 6in, about 165ft tall, muscular legs. Ankle circumference 7.75 inches, calf 15.5 inches. all the way to just below my buttocks where the thigh measurement is 21.5 inches. Women's shoe size 6, the foot fits as expected - a little loose in the toes but the heel construction helps keep it in place. I had no problem rolling them up. For me the main difference in fit between medium and large is the length. Large ones can sometimes wrinkle behind the knee after several hours of wear, but medium ones don't. (Only a medium wrap around fit better, but the shorter length is the biggest improvement.) The fabric is strong and easily withstands the heavy tension required to don hosiery at a pressure of 20-30mmHg. My surgeon instructed me to wear high hip compression as I had constant issues with swelling after my knee surgery. Judging by the size grid, I should have bought XXL. I actually got the XXL when I first tried this brand and they were unwearable. I'm glad I came back after a few years and tried the smaller size. I thought about trying a size down but not sure if the waist belt would be too tight.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Something different
