Doc Miller Open Toe Compression Socks for Men & Women, 30-40 mmHg Knee High Support, Toeless Design for Daily Leg Comfort, Breathable Nylon Spandex, 1 Pair

Good compression, easy to put on, doesn't bind.

Works, but kinda long and binds behind knee

Color is just as pictured, kind of a periwinkle blue/purple. The band at the toes is not tight. My calves are 14 inches and I bought the mediums. Oddly enough, my swelling is mostly along the inside of my shins and not very severe, but where these were uncomfortable was right on the “top” of my ankle. Like where a sandal strap would sit. They fit very well everywhere else: more snug than the 20-30 mmHg I have, but not uncomfortable, except that one area. When I took them off there were multiple creases on both feet there. I’m going to keep wearing them, but found that detail odd. May be my feet.One more thing I like about the open toes is that I can wear socks over these that match my clothes (usually black) without making my feet are too bulky for my shoes. The fabric is very smooth and “silky” and sheer even though it’s super strong.

I *love* the open-toe feature, my feet are much happier wearing these. It's still work to get them on, but these are much more comfortable on than the kind that compress your toes also. My calves are approximately 13" and these are decently snug. They helped a lot on a recent flight; I could feel them feeling tighter by the end of the day, because my lower legs were trying to swell, but when I took them off at home, my legs were normal, not puffy and tight, and my toes had no swelling. Love.

UPDATE: 08/21/20There have been quite a change in these over the last few years. 1st purchase was April 2018. I waf pleased with the quality and amount of compression. They have either changed manufacturers and materials and I'm not pleased with the changes. Unfortunately these changes were not for the better and I believe the quality has suffered. There still good, but NOT the once GREAT SOCK. REAL bummer when companies cut corners be cause the product suffers.First, l want to thank the seller. I requested that l wanted white, but white was not an option.He honored my need and now they have manufactured the white color l wanted. Not many companies respond to such requests, so l was extremely overjoyed that he cared about customer input. So folks, buy white too, so this company is rewarded for being customer satisfaction minded.I love these socks, but l must be honest. I made a recent order to stock up for winter, and it seems that they are now made either by a different manufacturer, or that they have been redesigned. Had they not made that change, l would definitely say that you'd be back for more. However, these last 3 pair cause me pain, and have got spots where it pinches me. On top of that, l don't have big legs or calves at all, and i've got very skinny ankles. So, not sure why they would fix something that wasn't broken. Maybe, to save cost wise, but unfortunately for me the change isn't a good one.That said, they have been a lifesaver up till now for many reasons.I hope they reconsider the change they made, not to be a good one. They are high quality though and well made. I just do not like the changes to they made cuz l could immediately tell l wasn't wearing the same socks.Anyhow, they are still a decent sock. Just cold wash and hang dry. I suggest a trail period for first timers who may feel some discomfort from the band. I found that after some use, that was no longer an issue. During my break in period; what l did, was, place some cotton stripes strategically around where the band is. Once broken in, you won't need the cotton anymore... you literally won't notice or feel the band once you start using them. I wear mine everyday.

I have primary lymphedema, and I do my best to manage it with healthy lifestyle choices. I had given up on compression socks years ago, because the highest compression that I knew of was 20-30 mmhg, and they were not effective enough to justify the discomfort and restriction. Despite my diligent efforts, my ankles and feet were becoming more swollen by the day and staying that way.These higher compression socks with an open toe were a game changer for me. They were the missing puzzle piece to my diet, supplement, and elevation routine. I purchased multiple pairs, and I wear them all day most days. They have drastically decreased the size of my ankles and feet which has even allowed me to branch out to pants and shoes that I would have been too self conscious to wear before. They are also really affordable!Additionally, the open toe style is a good fit for me. I really like to have bare feet, and the open toe gives me the benefits of compression with minimal restrictions. I have tried open toe and open heel compression socks, but the placement of the open heel made my ankles swell, so the open toe is perfect for me.Next I'm trying 40-50 mmhg open toe compression socks because my ankle and foot sizes have gone down so much that I need smaller and tighter socks!A little extra info in case it comes in handy for someone: I also take Lymphatonic (to support the function of my lymph system), Proteolytic enzymes (to break down the fibrin that has developed in my ankles and feet over the years), and dandelion root and leaf tincture (to reduce water retention). I eat mostly raw fruits and veggies with fish that is wild-caught and salt free, and I don't prepare my food with salt or add any to my food. I also dry-skin brush daily.I really hope this helps someone. To your health!
