Sigvaris - 821cxlm32 - Midtown Microfiber, Mens, Calf, Long

I bought the Sigvaris 821 Microfiber Stockings, size LX. Great quality. FYI: I am 6'4", 200#, size 16 feet, ankle 10", calf 16.5", Length 18". By size chart, my choice was MX or LX. I chose LX. I get them on w/o much trouble and they are comfortable. My toes are not cramped. The length is perfect and because of the elasticity, there is ample adjustability. The top band stays put w/o clamping too hard. I never expected them to fit so well. Within a day, the bloating in my feet and ankles was gone. I'm very pleased to find quality like this. The MX would have been tighter, but the LX easily does the job, so I chose well.

I have been purchasing the closed toe, LS 20-30 for years. They are the best fit of all the brands I have tried. They work well. My cardiologist told me to increase the pressure to 30-40. I purchased them and have been using them. Unfortunately, they seem to slip on my ankle creating a tight spot that cuts off my circulation from my foot and lower ankle up. This can be painful, and while pulling up the stockings solves the problem, it returns within a short period of time. This problem primarily happens on my left leg, which is has more edema and more permanent damage from past episodes of cellulitis. If I have help from another person, and really yank hard, I can sometimes overcome the problem for a couple of hours. I expect it has something to do with my leg shape, and the increased compression. I would love to learn a solution.

Sigvaris makes good quality compression socks, which are expensive. The angiologist of my husband recommends this brand. We can only afford to buy these because our health insurance pays part of the cost. This year, 2022, I realize that Sigvaris has a problem with its supply lines due to Covid. Recently, I tried to buy multiple pairs of Sigvaris socks for both my husband and for myself from 2 different websites. The experience of buying these socks from both websites has been a multi-week nightmare. Errors in the sizes and colors sent, followed by multiple returns, has been extremely frustrating. The customer service employees have been very helpful and apologetic. I feel sorry for them to be between the company and the customers. I wish that the websites that sell Sigvaris socks would be (1) up to date on what is available, and (2) send the correct items ordered, including the size and color. PLEASE, do not send a substitute size or color! Frankly, I will NEVER again order socks from Sigvaris online.

I've never been happier than with this product. Due to allergies I should have cotton which has the stretch material in the middle of two cotton layers so that my skin is not in contact with anything but cotton. They have proven to last, are very warm and are effective in dealing with my potential leg swelling. I have bought 3 different colors (white, black and brown) to match various clothing. Throughout the several times I have corresponded with the service people I have been consistently satisfied with their genuine concern for my comfort. They are polite, friendly, informative and very service oriented. this is hard to find in today's world. I sure hope those same or similar individuals are there when I reorder in the future.
