These R my first pair of compression socks and it's a different experience, lol. I've been wearing TED hose 4 yrs due 2 edema & dvt's. I love socks and decided to try some. They're very soft and nice colors and patterns. Very good quality. It was very easy to order and match ur size . The only problem is they're too tight. I bout passed out trying to pull them on. I have 20-30 m and I could hardly get my foot pushed thru. It was a great struggle just like support hose and I thought it would be easier w socks but it wasn't. I struggled about seven minutes pushing my foot thru, once it finally got in then I could pull up the leg and they're beautiful. Maybe I should try a lesser strength like 15-20m. Anywho, thx bunches 4 the great socks. They make my legs fill like they're brand spanking new. I can jump up and down now w/o panting and feeling tired due to heart trouble. And my ankles haven't swelled yet. Thx again
