How to measure your legs for compression stockings, support socks, support hose, and gradient compression hosiery.
Where to Measure

How to Properly Measure and Apply Compression Stockings
The Key Measurements
Ankle

Sizes may differ between various brands of support stockings—each manufacturer has their own sizing chart. A medium in one brand may not be a medium in another, and some brands offer petite (shorter) lengths while others do not. Knowing your measurements will ensure you get compression hosiery that fits properly and comfortably. Sizing charts are located on every product’s “see details” page.

Reviews
Excellent support
"I wore a different brand of support hosiery for 40 years before I found these amazing compression support stockings. They are a game changer."
Color Not as described
"The color beige is very dark and there was no nude to select. Will not purchase again"
Not received order yet
"Have not received my order yet. So, I have no feedback for you, yet. Sorry."
Too hot for full pantyhose hose
"Haven’t worn them yet"
They are like putting on
"They are like putting on a second skin. Very Comfortable!!!"
I think the ultra sheer
"I think the ultra sheer are extremely comfortable however I like to see a little bit more little bit more compression."
Dissatisfied customer.
"I was thrilled to receive my order. I started to put on the beige pair of hose and a run started to appear immediately. I was so disappointed. In addition the hose appeared to have already been worn by someone else before. The foot bed seemed dirty. I’m unhappy about that and the rub. Since I have already thrown away the packaging I will not be returning them and will not be purchasing any more, in addition there was no receipt found in the packaging nor any return instructions."
Status unknown.
"I have not yet tried to put these hose on. I venture they will be as the beige ones purchased."
The right amount of compression
"The right amount of compression with the great look of sheerness."
