When I read reviews here, I first look at the aggregate average and then at individual 1 or 2 star reviews side by side to see what problems people have experienced. Then I filter out complaints and abuse or misunderstandings (yes, they are difficult. They should be) and look for clarifying details. This was supposed to be the latter, but from a clinical perspective: as a cardiac surgery nurse starting to see the effects on my legs of my 20 years of long hours of walking on tiled floors, I noticed them and bought them because the price was right and they were right looked stylish (although honestly no one under 90 would wear knee socks with shorts so I don't know why all the stylish/sporty design matters except what you see between the pants and shoes). So I put them to the test. three couples Work along the corridor in three shifts of 13-14 hours. On the first night, I quickly found that the full raises irritated my leg a lot at the back of my knees (I'm 5'11" and they came down to mid-knee). So I folded them about 2 inches. One problem solved ( although the double compression sock puts extra pressure on that part of your calf leaving uneven pressure distribution and a nice ring on your foot.) As for the compression, I have to say that my calves felt... in the right therapeutic sense. But the real problem using them (and why I say look elsewhere) came to light when I got home with sore feet and took them off.All that quirky style on the outside is not just translated into stitching on the inside, but big, ridiculously thick ones Threads (see image) adapted from my own sewing skills in a home economics class of the 4 stray lines that best capture your imagination, like insect tracks on rotten wood. This is the clinical OPPOSITE of rapeutics (as they claim) and after each of the 3 times I've given them a chance I take them off and immediately have to massage my legs to eliminate their effects. There's a reason the compression stockings we put on our patients in the hospital are a continuous tube (sewn to the fingertips) of smooth material. Not that sporty or stylish, but effective and actually useful. Add to that the material in the foot area is so thin I can't imagine them lasting more than a couple more layers before holes show up and thus also negates the "deal" aspect. I don't like writing negative reviews and I rarely write reviews at all. But something that claims to be healthy but isn't is like an oven mitt burning your hands. He must be summoned. The only reason I can assume the cumulative reviews are as good as they are for them is because many have never worn actual compression stockings. You are not. Save time, money and leg injuries and look elsewhere. I hope this helped. Edit annotation: In the name of all that is holy, I swear that when I posted this review I didn't know there was another review where a real 90 year old man wore them with shorts (if that's the case existed at that time). I didn't mean disrespect. I take my hat off to you, good sir. Your apparent level of activity and seemingly funky sense of style do you credit. Although as a person who actually treats coronary artery disease and heart failure I will say that this is not an option. ANYTHING tight will prevent fluid from getting into your legs. This does not mean that they promote proper blood flow and therapeutic venous return. Anyway, cheers and best wishes from a 50 year old goat hoping to live to be 90.
