You don’t know you have them on!
I drive for a living and I also take BP meds. That being said, the both are the cause of my Edema.I can’t wear compression socks because my feet get too hot.These sleeves were the answer to my prayers!Not only do they fit well, they are so light I can’t tell I have them on.They have just the right amount of compression. They do not itch at all.I don’t get too hot in them and my feet barley swell. Because they are not a full sock I expect some swelling in my feet. I also sit right behind the motor while driving and all the heat just sits at my feet. I liked these so much , I ordered two more pairs. I have not washed them yet so I couldn’t say what the outcome of that would be , however I have faith they would be just fine.

The right fit!
The first compression sleeve that I tried was a different brand. They didn’t work for me because the ankle portion fit was loose while the calf portion was acceptable. My calf fits the usual Medium size measurement, but my ankles are skinny and fit the Small size measurement. The Doc Miller taper design is perfect for my lower leg profile, there is compression from the top to the bottom of the sleeve. The typical sleeve measurement table takes only the calf circumference measurement into account and not the ankle circumference. You need to consider this as you shop the various choices, but if you are buying for the first time this will be a challenge to get the right fit.As for results, the Doc Miller is doing the job for which I purchased them. I am a teacher on my feet all day and also starting to have circulation issues in my legs. My feet and legs aren’t as tired at the end of the day anymore. (Note: I am a fit and slim individual but I am 62 years old. Shrug) And the minor lower leg swelling issues I was starting to experience during a 3 hour car drive, for example, have been circumvented by wearing the sleeves. I am going to start having regular leg massages to help increase blood flow in my legs. This combined with using the Doc Miller compression sleeves should be a highly effective preventative strategy for future circulation issues.**Update Dec 2016-super pleased with the compression sleeve so I ordered another pair. I used them for everyday wear now. My legs are not as tired when I go out and bird hunt for 3 – 4 hours walking, or climbing depending on the bird species I am after. I’ve now used them for the first time skiing. After 4 hours of hard skiing my legs aren’t spent like they used to be. I’ll be buying more as time goes on and the original purchase starts to show wear. I super recommend them!

Too tight at the top
I really, really wanted to like these. I’m no stranger to compression socks, and these are one of the few calf sleeves with medical grade compression. I love the compression up my calf, and it fits well at the ankle. So I can’t take a larger size. But it is too tight at the top of the calf. The socks squeeze, roll, and/or bunch–and I don’t have big legs. I just needed a little more room up there. I’ve been wearing them for a couple of weeks in the hopes that the top would relax just a smidge, but no. Which, under normal circumstances is ideal! Unfortunately, I think I have to retire this brand.

Don’t trust the size chart!
Pretty. But I ordered a size up and they were still way TOO tight. The fit is way wrong. The length is good. But they are not a good value for money when they are unusable.

Very comfortable

Hallo zusammen,ich teste gerade verschiedene Kompressionsstrümpfe. Aus allen Preisklassen. Und der Doc Miller ist sehr angenehm zu tragen. Ob er jetzt wirklich die angegebenen Werte zur Kompression dauerhaft hat weiß ich nicht. Aber das Material hält Spannung und ist eins der angenehmsten was bis jetzt auf der Haut bei den Strümpfen hatte. Also für das Geld OK. Grüße euer Michael.
