Lin Performance 15-20 mmHg Compression Stockings for Women & Men, Thigh High Dot-Top Open Toe, Leg Support for Daily & Travel Comfort Socks (Beige,M)

Thanks to a small DVT in my left popliteal vein, I’ve had to wear compression stockings to be able to keep working 12.5 hr shifts on my feet. For many years I have worn Ames Walker, which has been very good to me, but they have become very expensive, so I started looking for an alternative. Being more than half the price, I was wary, but decided to try these due to the reviews, figuring buying just one pair wouldn’t break me if they didn’t work. They felt different, thicker, but went on smoothly and easily. The compression isn’t quite as tight and the length was a good 4 inches longer than I am used to, but still comfortable despite being to the top of my thigh instead of the middle. To be completely honest, I didn’t start noticing the real difference until about halfway thru my shift, as my 58 year old body usually starts feeling tired. I realized these stockings actually made it feel like my legs were being massaged as I walked! I felt wonderful! My leg still swelled, but only about 2/3 as much per usual, but my foot only swelled maybe 1/2 as much, so that my shoe didn’t feel like it had a death grip on it. An enjoyable bonus. I’ve already ordered a second pair, but this time one size down, to see if it makes a difference. I haven’t worn them to work yet, but have tried them on. Being smaller, they actually feel like the right tightness I am used to this time, yet they still reach the same length on my leg, which I appreciate, so I very much look forward to wearing them on Monday to work and have no doubt they will be as comfortable, if not more so. I’m overweight, mostly due to my diabetic belly, so my long legs at 5’9” are thin & muscular from being a farm girl. Like I said, these stockings fit me all the way to my groin, so be careful with the sizing chart. I chose XL by the sizing chart on my first pair, and find the L are much better fitting. Other than that, if you’re looking for a great pair of compression stockings, these are very comfortable, though a little thicker (more like tights than hose), stay in place with the bands not slipping or pinching (pinching being a small issue with the Ames Walker I had sometimes when swelling was at peak), and easier to put on, IMO.

The fit is excellent! These compression stockings stay in place and don’t roll or bunch up like other ones I’ve tried. They fit perfectly throughout the day, and the non-slip band does a great job of keeping them securely in place. The compression feels very good and supportive without being uncomfortable. I’m very happy with the quality and how well they stay up.

These compression socks are amazing! They fit perfectly, feel comfortable all day, and provide excellent support without being too tight. My legs feel less tired and swollen after wearing them. Great quality and highly recommended!

These are great compression stockings. I have the thigh high one and use it for post vein treatment and flying. I am 5'10 with long legs, about a size 16 and the XL fits great, and most importantly they stay up. I hope they stay up as good after washing! My only issue is that my doc said I needed to go to the higher compression, so unfortunately I was going to try to exchange, which you can't do, I just have to return and then buy the stronger compression. I'm wondering after me wearing them why they would want them back, I hope they aren't reselling as not only have they been worn, but they have blood on them from the procedure etc. I mean I washed them, but gross. Other than that, they are a fantastic buy.

Wow - these are great! I have recently had swelling issues and I purchased several different types and these are definitely my favorite. They aren't too heavy so in the 92 degree heat yesterday, I wasn't overheating. They are a little long - I have a 30 in inseam and they were right at the tippy top of my thighs and I had to sort of fold them down a little bit - but, they did stay up well and were pretty easy to put on. The graduated compression was great - really felt good on my legs. I did wear them with a long skirt but the color wasn't too bad - doesn't really look orthopedic.

Everything fits great but the thigh band on top. Its seems it should of been for the next size up. Bought the socks for circulation which the lower part does very well. Im on the slender side of the scale so a larger person might be perfect

These compression stockings were so tight they ended up hurting my legs on my flight than making me feel better. They also kept rolling down. Didn’t work for me at all

These are the best over the knee compression stockings I have found, and I have tried many. The medium compression is just right, the grip tops stay in place mid-thigh with no skin irritation, and the stockings prevent the heavy and tired feeling in my legs from varicose veins. I got them after knee replacement to help with swelling reduction and support. They have been wonderful. The price is reasonable, and the color is true beige ( not weird orange) which makes them more attractive under a dress.
