I wear support knee highs for flying, especially on long flights because my legs feel don't get that fatigued feeling. For a recent trip I could not find my opaque Oroblu support knee-highs so I bought these more sheer ones because that is all I could find online. They feel good and look good. Despite being sheer, the knit is sturdy and did not snag or run. The wide band at the top is comfortable and not binding. The level of support is not too tight for sitting, but tight enough that they provide support while walking. I have been buying Oroblu since the early 1990s and it is still one of my go-to brands. The quality to price ratio makes the products a very good value.
