JOBST® Relief Knee High 15-20 mmHg, Open Toe

Nice stocking

The JOBST Relief Knee High stocking is light in weight (15-20 mg), color not noticeable if worn under trousers, and most importantly, does the job. One note, check if you need the long version vs. the regular lenght.

Uncomfortably tight around upper calf after prolonged wearing

I had this sock on my left leg, which has significantly worse venous insufficiency than my right leg, for about nine hours. It felt fairly comfortable for most of that time, although I would have preferred an open-toed anklet style (which I couldn't find in your listings) to the open-toed knee-highs that I wound up ordering. Since I apparently have thicker than average calves, the upper calf portion of the size large sock began to feel constrictingly tight after eight or nine hours. This has also happened in the past when I tried wearing other types of knee-high compression socks, which is why I prefer anklets. The lower portion of the sock still felt reasonably okay even after the top section began to feel uncomfortably tight. For what it's worth, I didn't notice the apparent increased tightness of the sock while I was sitting. It only became painfully obvious when I got up at the end of the work shift and walked around. And the lower portion of the sock still felt reasonably okay even after the top section started to feel uncomfortably tight. However, due to the discomfort I experienced in my upper calf after wearing the sock for a fairly prolonged period, if I could, I would actually be more inclined to give it three and a half stars rather than four, since it's not exactly ideal to feel a sudden urgent need to remove the sock after nine hours.

I like the seam at the open toe. It's perfectly flat as if no stitching at all so I can't feel it. The 15-20 compression is easy to put on but can slide down sometimes and bunch up so I started folding over the top seam to hold them up a little better. Maybe going down one size might help. Definitely quality made.
