Doctor recommended compression socks and when she saw these on my feet she was pleased. Kind of hard to get on at first but I remembered how women used to put on "nylons" (I'm an old man). I roll them up and slip them over my feet and then unroll them up my leg. Opposite to get them off. Don't even have to worry about seams being straight. (most readers won't know what I'm talking about; told you I'm an old man.)
