JOBST Relief 20-30 mmHg Knee High Graduated Compression Stockings - Regular Band, Open Toe

No at is the best.

These toeless knee high socks are excellent. I wear a pair of short ankle socks over them to protect my toes from getting chafed by my shoes. The toeless design makes sure my toes aren’t constricted. I like that the top elastic of the sock isn’t too tight - other compression socks I’ve tried have been too tight at the top, even on my thin to average legs. I’ve had them a few months now, and so far they are holding up well / no runs or holes. If you find they are not staying up well, a very sparse smear of body lotion on the skin, in the location where the top band goes around the leg, will help keep them up.

very useful and high quality

I have been using Jobst relief knee high stockings for years. However, this particular product does not have the silicon top which I missed in my reading. I went to return them through Kohls for Amazon but it would cost me another $7.50 so I kept them. The stocking itself is great support except the top are too tight after a couple hours and so I had to put rolled up kleenex in areas to keep them from the pinching pain. It is the same size I have been using. So, I am disappointed. I will still use them but only for a couple hours at a time.

Much better than the other ones I bought.

Be sure you order the correct size,and try to get them on. I ordered the 15/20 and the 20/30. for my husband the 15/20 worked OK for him. We lost track of time and he did not try on the stronger compression till it was a day to late to return them .He can't even get the 20/30 on his feet. That is what happens to busy people. Our fault.

Most compression socks, including Jobst’s, tend to be too short in the foot for me, giving me ingrown toenails; so I gave these open-toed socks a try. This was the size measured for me by both my vascular clinic and DME supplier. I wore this sock on only one leg, as its firm fabric was difficult to get on the leg that has an artificial hip. I assume they will soften after a few washings, as most compression socks do, so wasn’t necessarily concerned about that. The open-toed sock started out long in the foot but was comfortable (almost reached the end of my toes) and was about right lengthwise. Within minutes, however, everything started to creep up. I repositioned the sock several times throughout the day, but it continued to bunch around my ankle and knee (because it crept up that high!). By day’s end, my ankle was swollen and I had painful ridges around it and under my knee. I wore one sock for one day. Won’t be wearing it again. “Expensive” is subjective—I think it’s worth it if you can find a style that fits and does its job. This pair isn’t worth it to me. Some people obviously have better success, because these have a high rating and the brand has a good reputation. This company makes some “Sport” socks that have a little more toe room and fit me very well, so if you need a bit more toe room, try those.

Measurements are important.

Perfect medical grade compression socks. Used on a recent trip to Europe and they did a great job.
