Review on Truform 20-30 MmHg Compression Stockings For Men & Women, Thigh High Open Toe Beige Large 0866-L by Paul Romero

My doctor advised me to wear compression hose after a leg injury damaged veins in my lower leg. He thought it would be especially beneficial after I began running again. My first hose were below knee closed-toe stockings, but I didn't think they looked very "cool" with running shorts. So I bought these thigh high stockings, thinking they would look more fashionable. While running, the top would slide down and bunch up around the knee. I had similar problems when not running and wearing long pants. In fact, it was a little worse, with the tops being pulled down below the knee sometimes due to friction with the pants during daily activities.Even when the tops were still up, I found it irritating while sitting to have the compression fabric wrinkling up behind the knee. I use them only for running now. They stay up fairly well when tights are worn over them, but garters are a necessity with shorts or pants. They would probably be okay for a person confined to a bed or recliner, but I would advise an active person to stick to the below knee variety.I was concerned that the elastic band going around the foot might cause blisters or other irritation while running long distances. That did not prove to be true for me. Since I have long feet (Men size 13), the band was near the front of my arch and was hardly noticeable.
