Truform 20-30 mmHg Compression Stockings for Men and Women, Knee High Length, Open Toe, Beige, Medium (1 Pair)

I've tried at least 7 or 8 other compression socks that all had problems - they didn't fit properly, they didn't hold their compression, they weren't comfortable, etc. But with these compression stockings, I've found a real winner. The product itself is A+ - well made, sturdy, they keep their compression after daily wear, etc. There IS a bit of a learning curve in using them - 1. You have to pull them on uniformly (meaning you can't just grab one corner and try to pull them up). The top of the stocking should be pulled up on all sides uniformly. 2. For me, they were a little too long and bunched up under my knee where my leg bends, or they bunched up at my ankle. The solution? I cut off the foot part of the stocking. Wow - what a difference! Easy to put on, no loss in compression, and so comfortable to wear now that I rarely notice they're on. The pair I have now has lasted almost 3 months with no sign of breaking, falling apart or loss of compression. As a consumer, you need to do your own homework and research sometimes with a product. The first set or two I had some issues (mostly they'd break, but it was because of the way I was treating them), but I knew the product was GREAT and I wouldn't find a better compression stocking. So it was up for me to learn how to make them work for me. I did, and I'm very, very happy with these Truform stockings.

I'm 5'10", obese, and my calves measure (depending how swollen) between 23 1/2 - 26". I wear a women's size 10 shoe. I bought a 3x. These are super long on the feet and leg and painfully tight at the ankles BUT WAIT KEEP READING! In my effort to find something that works (since they are too long on me) I cut the foot off as close to the smooth heel part as I could. OMG! Nearly a perfect solution! They are long enough for the foot and leg portion AND it solved that painful bunching at the ankle!!! I bought 4 more pairs and have done the same thing. So far they are not unraveling but I figure even if I have to buy a new pair every month, it's so worth it for the comfort! Also the band under the knee is very comfortable, and stays up without being tight on my giant legs! I only did 4 stars because it would be nice for them to be this way without chopping them off. I want to add a pic but am not seeing a spot to do so?

I like the product, it worked and I hope it will cure my problem. Getting it on and off is difficult,, but it does have to be snug to work.

My experience in trying to get compression stockings that I can actually WEAR has been extremely difficult, as it is for most people who have big legs. Every store in my local area didn't have big enough sizes for women, or with an open toe, even. I tried buying a man's size and I could have used them as thigh-highs except for the fact that the foot was about twice as long as mine. When I developed lymphedema and had to have physical therapy, the therapist ordered compression stockings from JuZo. You know, people that make compression stockings ought to have to wear them for awhile. Their top cuff was so tight and so narrow that it turned into a tourniquet. There were silicone dots on the inside of the ribbing, supposedly to keep them from rolling or sliding down. The first pair I tried was a JuZo Silver. I had to pay over $80 for them. When they started making my legs throb the therapist took them back and got me JuZo Soft, two sizes bigger. I asked her to get a pair that did not have the silicone dots because I thought they kept the band from stretching to some level of comfort. I never got any adjustment in price and the therapist told me she didn't think there was a price difference when I asked. Same problem with the JuZo Soft, the ribbing was horrible, not having silicone dots didn't make any difference. The therapist suggested I stretch the cuff part of the stockings around something when I was not wearing them and in trying that, the stitching between the cuff and the stocking broke and there were some loose loops. So now I can't even return them. I wanted stockings like I had been loaned to try out, they had a nice deep cuff and open toes and were comfortable. I was told "they don't make them anymore". Then I found these, loved how they fit but the foot was too long. Then I saw on the box where it could be ordered in "short" XL, so I found a vendor who had them and ordered. Except for the fact that they're a little tight across the foot, I'm a happy camper with the short XL and would've bought them in the first place, from this vendor, had this vendor offered them in short. Also found the version in the 'short' length was less tight across the foot. Thank you, TruForm for a decent fit and a decent price.

Very useful
