I bought my first pair yesterday after my doctor said to wear compression stockings at work (am on my feet most of the shift.) After looking at the $40 drug store brand I sought another version. I got these and am ordering four more. I am 5-9 and my show size is 9. The L-XL fit well without squeezing my toes. They were also easy to put on, not too tight. I don't have to worry about sticking my fingernail through the nylon. The moderate compression should be just what i need.
