I got these to help with circulation problems. I was delighted to find something that didn't look like "old person support hose." So far, so good. They washed well and seem to be well made. I was a little worried about ordering the S/M size since I'm in the upper limits of the sizing, but they fit fine. One nice thing: The foot area doesn't have much compression so ones toes don't get mashed. Only down side: The blue pair seems to be quite a bit smaller than the rest, but they still work for me. Good product, great value.
