I’m a pretty tall man and to find a compression stockings that fits this well is nothing short of a miracle.

I've owned a few pairs of these now, here are some thoughts.• They look good, and look just like a regular dress sock to the average person.• Lightweight and provides good compression.• They are a bit thin, especially on the heel and could tear if you don't put them on properly. (I find that rolling them down to the ankle, then slipping them over your foot and rolling them back up is the best way to put them on.)Overall, I've tried a few different styles, and for the price, look and feel it's the best compression dress sock I've used. I can certainly see how some have tore, but none of mine have. Use the high-res chart I uploaded, that will really help in choosing the right size.

I take a medication that causes pitting edema in my feet. These socks are much easiere to put on and wear than Jobst or any other brand I have tried. However, at this compression level, unless I also raise my feet, some fluid remains in my instep area, though not in my legs.Because they are less expensive and so easy to wear I bought a couple of extra pairs. One reviewer found they are susceptible to runs. I have not. I wash them in the machine in cool water and dry on medium temp and have noticed no change in elasticity either.

Well-fitting support hose, rising to the knee.Retains form after multiple uses/washes.However, while a degree of support is detectable, it is quite light.No need for industrial-strength compression, but this (15-20 mmHG) is a little wishy-washy.... seemingly little more than a new pair of socks.The same manufacturer, at the same retail cost, produces a one-step-up compression hose (20-30 mmHG) which have the exact same look and feel, but with added support.Have switched to those (increased compression) and am able to notice a difference over the course of a long day on my feet, or air travel, or prolonged sedentary sessions.Now, exclusively buy only those higher compression-rated brothers of these and have never looked back.

Purchase these from my 83-year-old father her doctors recommendation; however, They were too hard for him to put on and takeoff so he stopped wearing them. But I think they were doing him some good while he was wearing them.

I like the activa socks, they are the best that I've used.

Large legs were hard to fit and very hard to get up the legs... but these work fine.

I wear these as "undersocks" with regular socks over them. This gives me the support and comfort of the Activa combined with something a little thicker and more stylish. It must also minimize the wear. I have pairs of these socks that have been worn at least every two weeks for the past 10 years and are just now wearing out on the tip of the heel. I am 72 years old, and I believe the compression socks reduce the probability of varicose veins that I see in so many of my peers.
