2 Pairs Open Toe Thigh High Zipper Compression Socks 20-30 Mmhg Zipper Compression Stockings Thigh High for Women Men

Finally found the best compression thigh high socks. The zipper makes these easier to put on. They don't slip either.

Leg and toe area too long..... As a result, leg area wrinkled and toe area required fold over.

Pros:They are very pretty. The fabric is really soft, comfortable, and very stretchy.Cons:WAY TOO LONG, bad fit, no compression at all on foot, almost nothing on calfs, and only slight compression on the thighs.Tip 1:If the zippers bother your skin, wear a thin pair of soft, stretchy leggings under the zippered compression stockings. If there’s a fabric flap for under the zipper, run your hand down the inside of the zipper and put the flap over it.Tip 2:Wear the zippers on the inside of your leg. This makes pulling the sides together to zip them up MUCH EASIER!Review:I am 5’1”, and weigh 138 pounds…ankle 9”, calf 13.5”. Going by their measurement chart, I ordered the Large…HUGE mistake!I have knee high zippered ones that are only 18”. They are mid-knee on me, so I wanted thigh high ones. The large is roughly 25” long. I figured that the length should be perfect…NOPE! I didn’t know that these would be THIS stretchy.I would have needed to zip these up to my WAISTLINE to zip them up all the way. Female anatomy doesn’t work that way.The arch/toe area was so loose that it hung off of my foot with about 1/2” of space between the stocking and my arch/toe area. I would need to fold the toe area 4 times (where it reached my heel) for it to to give any compression at all, and I couldn’t imagine trying to walk like that.I don’t understand any of the reviews that say that these are too short. They are super stretchy…you pull the sides up as you pull them together.I RETURNED mine and asked for a refund because these are way too long. I thought about getting the smaller size, but they are only an inch shorter. I easily had an extra 4” (unstretched) folded over when the zipper couldn’t go any higher, so I knew that the small/medium size would also be way too long. It’s a shame because they are really comfortable.Instead of refunding my money for these as I requested, the seller sent me a replacement set…also in Large! I haven’t grown a foot in height within the past week, so I STILL cannot use them.So I now have to go even more out of my way to return these! My first return was at Kohl’s and was very easy…because the seller sent me a replacement instead of giving me a refund, I now have bring these to a UPS Store, and I don’t have one close by.Very disappointed on several levels.

The stockings fit well. But after two wearings, the zipper caught in the fabric and is impossible to get loose!

So I am unwillingly becoming a "specialist" for compression stockings these days because of my vein issues. I thought I give these ones a try because it always takes quite long and is stressful to put on compression stockings!Summary: The zippers are an interesting idea but don't help to pull compression stockings on faster. They could be interesting as a fashion design item to make compression stockings look cuter though, but in this case more quality must be put into the manufacturing.Below the merits and demerits of these zipper stockings:1. Although the idea of zippers is great, when pulling them on with open zipper it was way too hard to close it! Not practical at all, I would say. However, when pulling them off, the process goes a little bit faster.2. Another big issue is sizing. They run pretty short (so I would argue they are petite size) and the zipper doesn't stretch of course, I'm 5'9 tall so in my case they become over-knee socks.3. The material is a bit different from other brands, although for me they do not feel itchy which is good, they feel cheaply made and the compression medically not very precise at all.4. I would say the actual merit of the zipper is only the design, they would look a kind of cute if the materials would be more luxurious. I have not seen other brands having these yet. There is some potential if they would be further developed, like greater size variety, better fabrication, different colors (the zippers could even have different colors from the stockings) etc.

Yes they were just as they described.

We purchased this for my father who just had a knee replacement surgery. He didn’t want to wear compression stockings because of the difficulty of putting them on. When he saw that these had a zipper and were toeless, he agreed to try them. They were delivered the next day. He is still wearing them 24 hours later!

i don't know why these are called compression socks when you can't even zip them up without the help of another person because they are meant to be super snug to be affective but it is impossible to safely zip up something so tight on your legs. just doesn't work. terrible idea.
