Just a word of advice to those interested in purchasing compression stockings on line. PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS.   This is a product you should definitely go to a local medical supply store to purchase.  These locations have trained and educated fitters to assist you with proper fitting and product selection.  In addition,  if for some reason you are not satisfied with the product it can be brought back to the medical supply store for return.  Look into Jobst-USA.com to find a local supply store.  Jobst has the #1 physician recommended brand and what I feel is the best guarantee on the market.  Here's to healthy legs!
