Review on 🧦 Doc Miller Open Toe Thigh High Opaque Stockings 20-30 mmHg Compression Hose by Drew Poulin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Several reviews say they didn't get the right fit.

I've tried knee high compression stockings, both open and closed toe, but none of them have what I needed. Now I wear open toe thigh high sneakers and they don't wrinkle or fall off all day. One or two reviewers mentioned that the stockings were rolled up (which is bad) or that they had rubber dots at the top and didn't last. First of all, be aware (or remember) that compression stockings must be evenly distributed over the entire length. If they are stretched too far at one end, the other end can twist and pain can be expected. Typically, overstretching occurs in the foot. My rule of thumb is that if you can see through a stocking, it's too stretchy. Pull the material from above with the palms of your hands, thereby aligning the distribution. My experience is that this usually results in a more relaxed feeling on the leg, which I think can be misleading: it doesn't feel tight enough to compress properly. Well it's tight enough and you're getting your 20-30mmHg. Art. or something like that. The elastic buttons at the top of the stockings are zipper buttons and should be on the leg, not the other side. If they don't fit your leg, you'll put them on inside out. My stockings have never slipped off my knee.
