Futuro Open Toe Stocking, Unisex, Firm Compression, 20-30 mm/Hg, Helps Relieve Symptoms of Mild Varicose Veins, Medium Pair of 1

I love these socks. I now have 7 pairs of them. I recently had a blood clot in a superior vein. I was told by my doctor to wear compression socks everyday. I tried several pairs out but these so far are the best. They are tight but don't feel like they are digging into my leg. I'm 5 ft 6 in tall and wear size 9.5 shoe, i work in a hospita, the medium size fits wonderfully. I love that they are skin tone as well instead of crazy colors or prints. I found that if socks had prints they would leave impressions on my legs. Not a look I wanted to go for when I would go to the gym after work and remove the socks when I wear capris. They also do not fall down my leg. The band holding them up is pretty thick making it strong so they don't fall and so they don't tear into my leg. I enjoy that they are more like nylon than cotton so my scrub pants don't stick to them all day at work. Open toe is nice to your toes are not squished all day. Also nice because when I'm home I don't like wearing socks so I can keep these on longer with my toes exposed. I wear low rise socks over them when I'm at work so my toes are covered. Great socks for me.

Sizing notations below. Otherwise, I'm totally surprised how will compression socks work since I just had them prescribed for numbing in one leg and swelling in the other. I tried these because of the open toe which only comes in "Firm" compression and even though open toe is very important to me, I would have normally tried the "Moderate." My size definitely falls solidly under "Small" range in their chart but I bought the Medium size because of the added firmness. I can't imagine being able to put these on or take them off if they were any smaller and I'm not sure how comfortable they would have been if I had gotten this size Small. I don't know if these run small or if it's because I'm just not savvy enough in how compression socks should fit but if this helps anyone else, they seem to be working quite nicely in the next size up. For reference, therefore, I wear a women's size 9 shoe, my calf size is 11-1/2" around and leg measures 15-1/2" from floor to inside crook of knee sitting down with feet flat on floor.

Won't bore readers with the medical details but the swelling in my legs, esp. the left one truly began to impact my life in such a negative way. I would turn down invitations, specifically map out my day to not include too many trips to the store or limit time on my feet. The thought of airline travel gave me such anxiety because I knew for the first few days of any trip I'd have to be in a compression machine. I don't know what the physical difference of the material is with this Futuro but it has made all the difference for me. My ankles, calves and legs stay slender and the pain is reduced so much I don't want to take them off at night. I bought extras for myself and a pair for a friend who works at a desk 8-10 hours a day. She said the sitting is terrible for circulation and these have helped her a lot. They run true to size if not a little generous/ remember they need to fit firmly to work. I wear a size 14 pants and take a medium in this product.

These toe stockings are excellent, with top-quality material. I ordered them for my aunt, who has varicosities, and they provide her with relief. However, they are quite firm and stiff.

I wanted to wait a while to write a review, had to give them a good try, and I have to say they are actually comfortable. I went with the toe-less because I hate having socks pull in on my toes, the only problem is the toe opening can move up the foot with wear so I find myself having to pull them back down into place often. Other than that, they offer a comfortable support for my feet, ankles, and legs.

I purchased the small size and they are terribly tight! I wore them abt 3 hrs today, standing that whole time. I was forced to take them off bc of numerous charlie horses I was getting; both feet and legs. Within abt 30 min of taking them off, the charlie horses were gone and they have not returned. That was 4 hrs ago; still no CH. I suspect the severe tightness may have caused that. Coincidental? I don't think so. If my doctor thinks these socks are good, I may order the largest size I can get in hopes of being more comfortable.

Good price and perfect support plus open toes is a real advantage. Have bought them over other brands I used to buy that were 3x’s the price, going on 5 years now purchasing and wearing them for veinous insufficiency. I have bought 8-10 pair in that time.If washed gentle will last longer.

They are too tight, too long and they have thick tight bands at the top and bottom, which left deep indentations in my legs and feet. I use a heavier version of Bauer & Black and for years they have served me well. Don't know why I tried these except they have a closed heel which was a feature I liked.
