Good support sock, January 9, 2010
First I would like to point out that the person that reviewed this product and stated that they are very sheer is reviewing the wrong product. This is a sport sock not a sheer stocking.
I am a nurse; for years I worked a position where I walked about 1-2 miles per shift and stood for 8-9 hours of my 10 hour shift, now I walk 5 to 7 miles over an 8 hour shift, if I get to sit for an hour out of the 8 it is a good day. These socks help with both standing for many hours and now walking for many hours. I was having problems with swelling in my feet, ankles and lower legs. With these socks that problem has been eliminated.
They are very comfortable and look just like regular sport socks. I have worn other support hose and have had co-workers ask me if I was wearing support stockings, but with these socks I have never been asked that question.
They give support from the toes to the knees (so I am also baffled by the reviewer that said they don't give support to the foot. They would not be a very good support sock if they didn't.) The support to the foot is less than the leg (as it is with all gradient compression stockings) but there is support in the foot area. They are easy to get on and comfortable to wear.
I wash them in the washer and dry them in the dryer on low or medium heat. I have had these for a year and they look almost new and the support has not decreased over the many washings and machine dryings.
They did the trick for me and I highly recommend them. This is also the best price that I found anywhere and it arrived sooner than I expected.

Best ever socks, February 15, 2010
I have been diagnosed with venous insufficiency and the doctor prescribed support hose for me. I work at a PC all day, so my feet and lower legs swell. Since wearing these, I have not had any swelling whatsoever. The socks are well made, easy to clean and best of all, they do the trick, and keep the swelling down.
