Review on ๐Ÿงฆ Highly Supportive Toe Open Compression Socks: Zippered Knee High Leg Stockings - 2 Pairs by Jojo Howell

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Almost perfect for medical supplies and equipment

I've been wearing zip compression stockings every day for over a year and I think I've tried every brand and type on the market. This one is about as close to what I need out of anything I've tried before. What I noticed compared to other brands: 1. The size is great. My shoe size is 9 1/2 and I ordered socks in L/XL. They are a bit long on the foot so the open toe cuffs go over the soles of my toes instead of my foot. I personally like that about them. The length of the socks is good, they go right to the bottom of my kneecap and not a few inches below the knee. The fabric is heavier than many of the ones I've used and while they claim to have 20mm of compression they are terribly stiff. Being heavier they can be too hot for summer, but in my experience those of us who need these socks for health reasons have cold extremities anyway. Me at least, so weight isn't an issue for me. When I ordered black socks were sold out so I ordered beige. The other brands I've used vary in fabric, weight and compression from color to color for some reason so I'll check and order black when they become available again and see if there's a difference to them also. 3. The cuffs on the toes and knees of these socks are wide and very tightly sewn. I've had occasions in the past where these handcuffs would open and snap causing all sorts of problems before finally getting frustrated enough to throw them away and start over. It remains to be seen how well they will hold up over time, but they definitely seem to hold up better than others I've used.4. The zipper on these socks is stronger and more secure than others I've used. The pull tab is larger than most, making it much easier to grab and pull, and the wider, heavier zipper seems to leave less marks on my legs when I take them off at night. As always, Revain sent them to me quickly. I'm a Prime member so I ordered on Wednesday and received on Friday. Gotta love Revane's service. Always and forever better than everyone else. Overall I'm very satisfied and chose them so next time I need replacements I know they're the ones I want and not the 27M I tried before!
