Truform 20-30 mmHg Compression Stocking for Men and Women, Knee High Length, Open Toe

Bonne qualité

I love those, so helpful and comfortable to wear

My doctor prescribed these for swollen ankles, a very bad thing given my extensive family history of strokes. Who knew that a swollen ankle could be a breeding ground for blood clots?I was first attracted to Truform because I knew the name and the price was nothing short of miraculous after purchasing some in town from a medical supply company. Being so much cheaper in price I expected a lesser quality product but this was not the case. In fact, the expensive ones that I purchased were not nearly as fine a quality as the Truform ones are. In fact, the pressure on these stockings was so excellent that it took a while to get them on the first time. During my first attempt to put them on the gymnastics I went through just to accomplish this were pretty hysterical. However, after being worn once, and even after a washing, they maintained their pressure but were much easier to put one. So don't be put off by the first attempt to put them on.The reason I purchase the open toe stocking is that I am warm blooded and also live in a warm climate. The open toe allows me feet to breath and not become too hot. Surprisingly, they do not migrate back toward the heel as you might expect but, rather, stay where they should. I thoroughly enjoy this brand of compression stockings and will purchase Truform again.

I have already reported on my experience with the Truform close toe stocking. I like them because the toes and heels are made with a fabric that fits looser than the rest of the stocking. This provides comfort for me.For an open stocking, the Truform open toe is about the same as other brands. Unfortunately, I need open toe stockings when I am using orthotics between my toes. For me, the disadvantage of open toe is that the front edge or neck of the open toe slips back toward the ankle during the day (sometimes reaching mid-metatarsal). As a result, I get a bubble of edema between the neck of the stocking and my toes. Even my toes swell.After a long day, pain may develop where the neck of the stocking is compressing my foot (generally the distal medial or lateral metatarsal).Sorry I have to use these anatomical terms, but it seems the only accurate way to describe what goes on.

They do not seem to be as tight as my other compression socks even though they are the same exact kind (20-20 compression) and brand, just a different color. But they still work well though. The whole reason I got these is because they are a black color and look less "sickly old lady-ish" than the tan colored ones. I stopped wearing this kind and switched to the type that go up to mid thigh simply because the spider veins I am wearing them for are around my knee area, right were the sock cuts off. And these actually seemed to put more pressure on those veins, ending where they do. But if your problem veins are below the knee these will do just fine. These do wonders for your legs not feeling sore after a long day of standing. I was skeptical of compression socks before trying them, but now I wear them every work day.
