Sigvaris - 822Cssm99 - 822C Style Microfiber Calf, 20 - 30Mmhg, Men'S, Small, Short, Black - Package/2

These are good quality compression socks that were recommended by my husband's doctor. The socks are expensive. I had an extremely frustrating experience buying multiple pairs from two online websites. Multiple errors in size and color were made, followed by multiple returns. I will never again buy Sigvaris socks online, from any site.

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.

Most compression socks I've found have been too long for me and I also have wide calfs. These are by far the best fit I've found. They're comfortable, breathable, and the silicone beads at the top help keep them up. Highly recommend.
