Futuro Open Toe Knee Length for Men and Women, Beige

I love compression socks - I have worn them since my early 20's. I have a ton of various types and brands. I run my 5ks in compression socks, as well. This pack comes with two socks. I wear them at night because they are open toe and they help with restless leg. The top band is fairly tight on this set, so I stretch them out during the day by stretching them over something larger. The tops are gradually stretching out. These socks are a good value for the money - and are medical grade.

I have been wearing these firm compression knee highs for almost 20 years now. Usually don't leave home without them. The only time I may consider NOT wearing them is when the dewpoint is over 65 as I find that the severely elevated humidity makes my legs so very swollen that the stockings become very uncomfortable. Although, at that Dewpoint, I usually want to strip off my regular clothes the moment I get into my house. Often times, I will just put them on and take them off as the day goes on (I carry a pair of foot socks so that I don't have bare feet in my shoes).Dewpoint issues not withstanding, I really appreciate these stockings as they do prevent my legs from aching, especially during a long day of standing on my feet.

I like the FUTURO Knee Length Stocking Open Toe/Heel Firm. I thought I would try this pair, because I really need a closed heel. The primary point where my feet swell is beside the open heel, so my feet puff out where the heel is open. I wear a size Large in the Futuro open heel, so I bought a Large in this pair, the closed heel. These were thinner and harder to put on, but you want the socks to be tight or they won't work. I would rate them as 20-30 compression. The L are long, coming above my knee. I roll the top over about 2-3 inches. The foot part is also plenty long covering by little toe I am 5'11" and wear size 11 shoe. Expect to take several minutes to put these on. If you get them on and adjust the gathering, they are comfortable.

I love the Futuro 15-20 Women's moderate compression knee-high socks. However, I live in a hot, humid area and would really like to be able to wear sandals, so I ordered these open-toed socks. These are really sized for men. Especially for men for whom foot of the men's socks are too small. So on a woman with a size 7-8 foot, the open-toed foot covers my toes. They are too long as well. In a firm compression sock, this means I have wrinkles cutting into my ankles and the top of the stocking cutting into the backs of my knees - neither comfortable nor very good for you. I'd love to see Futuro make a women's sized open-toe version because I really like their compression socks.

I have worn Jobst opaque knee high stockings for years but as I'm getting older my toes are getting more and more squashed by them. I wear size large petite. I am 15" between floor and crook of knee and 18" round calf. I bought size large in these to try the open toe - the great price compared to Jobst attracted me to try! I love the open toe aspect. The stocking feels like a Jobst relief stocking, thicker and more matt than the shiny opaque. This stocking was about an inch too long and bunched up around the back of my knee, if I put the heel on my heel, this of course made the foot part longer so only my 3 longest toes stuck out. If only they had a petite version I'd be happy to wear these, especially in winter.
