Tommie Copper, is just all hype and they don't  ware well either.

 If you have real leg issue consult your Doctor or use real  medical grade compression hose

I have one venous leg that swells slightly. That leg does swell even more when I skip a day or two so these days I wear mine most days and it does feel a lot better.

I absolutely love Wellow compression socks.  I have very, very mild swelling and these help me.  Even if I didn't, I will only wear these. The fabric is out of this world comfortable.  I have knee highs for winter and ankle for summer. For me they are just the best!  Good luck!  (I get them through the Wellow website.)


 

I like compression knee high socks also.  Didn't know they made ankle compression, will look for those.

After I retired, I worked partime in customer service for a midwest grocery store chain. My feet and knees were stiff and ached after work. I started wearing compression socks and supportive shoes and it made all the difference.

I wear a compression stocking thigh hi on one leg only. I have the after effects of DVT that did not clear and in order for my leg to not get so tired I do wear them. They are medical grade for severe edema. I purchase mine from a few medical sites. 

I can tell the difference when I have them on and when I do not have it on. 

I purchase them with open toe--I can then wear with sandals.

I too have purchased compression socks from QVC for my husband and myself. I don’t really need them, but when I fly or when I will be standing a lot, I wear them. They keep my legs from getting tired. The ones I got, I think Tommie Copper, are better than the ones my DH already had.
