text: I absolutely love these! They are exactly what I have been looking for. Up to now the only hose I could find with this level of compression were heavy and thick, they looked more like tights than hose. These are silky, feel great and look good. After reading some of the reviews I was concerned about fit - but these fit perfect. If you are used to pulling on compression hose these go on similar to other hose with this level of compression (they will be tough to get on at the foot and ankle, etc.) They take some work but any high end compression hose takes some effort to put on.
