Could not be easier to don these! They do add some compression and have reduced the swelling in my ankles and calves. I have already purchased another set.

I purchased these because I was afraid of how hard it is to pull on regular compression socks. I measured my calves and purchased the size recommended, but they seem too large.. Also, do to a deformity I have to buy 2 different sizes, due to large size difference in my calves. I am just not sure they are doing the 'compression' you want them to. They do wash and dry (I hung dry them) ok. Time is tell?  Having said all of this, I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful. All of my reviews reflect my honest, personal experience with the reviewed item - your experience may be different. I am not influenced by any outside source. I receive/accept NO free products or discounts that are not available to all shoppers- ever. For some reason our shopper ranks are no longer visible - so, to give you a little more info about me, I am a top 50 reviewer (#30 the highest rank achieved). Those numbers used to fluctuate over time - up and down but I noticed that they stopped updating regularly - perhaps to phase them out. It's a shame because it did help you see who has been around the longest and who is a trustworthy reviewer.  I've been doing reviews for over 25 years with Amazon - over 6,000 reviews posted, those reviews have been viewed well over 50,000 times, including well over 24,000 likes. Bottom line, I pay for all my stuff, just like you do.

Putting on the compression Socks are a breeze, Very easy. I have tried several of them without the zipper is futile. They wear well. But I just don't understand why just because they are Medical, they have to be such a dark miserable color. It certainly doesn't make your apparel especially for dress to look nice, or for casual . Also when I wear my sandals, the open toed bunches under the straps! Very comfortable ,

It is a quality product with a good zipper. Goes on smoothly and compresses just the right amount. I rodered an xxl for a 16 1/2 calf. Just one size down would be better but I'll wear these at night and will be comfortable.

These stockings worked well for my husband's swelling. He is still unable to zip them up himself, but they are easier for me to put them on him. Swelling was greatly improved.

Compression stockings are a difficult thing to put on. I was frustrated, unable to follow my doctor's advise until a friend suggested stockings with a zipper and room for my hurting toes. AILAKA was my choice for value and features. I am back for another pair!

They were very easy for me to put on and are working on reducing the swelling in my legs. Thanks.

So comfortable and easy to put on!

The socks were excellent quality, the zips have a proper seam inside to prevent hurting of legs and chafing. I bought these for my sister however they were slightly too big for her and I will have to buy them again. As I missed the return date with no printer in the house for the label. Otherwise good product, good quality.

Not uncomfortable, so hope they have enough tension to be doing some good. Very well made but I suspect when you put them on you have to be careful to avoid too much tension where the bottom of the zip is stitch in. Otherwise, in time, there might be some danger of it ripping. Better to play safe.I had an infection on same leg twice since February, so realised that skin is damaged and bacteria getting in. I have very dry skin on my lower kegs and feet and poor circulation, checked by my surgery using ultrasound. The second time, just a few weeks ago I needed two weeks of antibiotics. So I realised I have to use ointment on my legs and feet regularly, also wear compression stockings.Those I got from the surgery under the NHS impossible to put on. However chatting to a neighbour first made me aware you can get them with zips down the side. I found plenty of zipped compression stockings here on Amazon and chose these from Ailaka with fabric under the zip. Some customers commenting on various brands made me see the need for that, saying that without it zips dig in and hurt. These are the only ones at a reasonable price where all the reviews are favourable.Being 78 years old and having lost my flexibility, still difficult to get the part on below the zip which goes over the foot in place, but with a bit of a struggle I do manage. With them just over my toes, I put my foot on a stool, lean forwards and my body weight helps me bend forward enough to do the job. Also, you have to hold the sides that zip together taut in the other hand so that they are close enough together to get the zip started, so that is difficult too. But I do manage.Also, having put Nivea cream on mid afternoon, that sank in and skin was not greasy. So much better than paraffin wax and glad surgery said that is OK instead. Everywhere on the web says to use paraffin wax if you have dry skin, but that just stays on the surface and stops moisture evaporating, does nothing itself to the skin. It is terribly greasy and I have a stain on my sofa I cannot completely remove.Worth knowing, so I also want to tell you this. After some research on the internet for skin creams, I found a few good articles. Good Housekeeping did a survey with 400 people involved, including medical people to assess the results. They said the best for nourishing skin is Nivea Q10 60+ Firming Body Lotion. The price is reasonable, whereas a lot is sold at prices for people with more money than sense. Unlike paraffin wax, it sinks in, is pleasant to use, so hopefully is helping improve the skin condition. A nurse at my surgery thought it was a good choice instead of paraffin wax. In the UK, the cheapest at the moment appears to be Superdrug at £4.99. I only discovered that literally just now, so bought mine at £5.50 in Tesco on a special with their card, so stocked up with enough probably for the rest of my life!

Like it very much.

Die Kompressionsstrümfe sind pünktlich und gut verpackt angekommen.Sie lassen sich aufgrund der Reißverschlüsse problemlos anziehen. Mit den Reißverschlüssen und in der Farbe schwarz sehen sie richtig gut aus.Die Größentabelle war eine willkommene Hilfe bei der Auswahl der Größe. Die Kompressionsstrümfe sind passgenau.Ich bin rundum zufrieden. Das gilt übrigens auch für die Kommunikation durch den Verkäufer.

Bei der ersten Bestellung hat die Größe nicht gestimmt. Qualität ist gut ! Bei den Maßeinheiten müsste man nochmal schauen ..
