Celeste Stein Therapeutic Compression Socks, Rainbow 60's, 8-15 mmhg.6 Ounce

I initially ordered them because I needed plaid socks for a specific occasion. I was pleasantly surprised how comfortable they are. I wish they were less expensive as I would have liked to order some in another color.

Good product and useful

Good fit and nice colours great support

These socks are great. The fabric is soft, smooth, lovely; feels really nice next to my skin. I love how colorful & fun these compression socks are because all I've found up until now were just drab tan, black or white stockings that looked hideous. Just because I have peripheral vascular return issues with my lower extremities (feet, calves) doesn't mean I want to look so frumpy wearing the traditional compression hose. These are so cute, bright & colorful. The only downside is that I am wearing these due to leg swelling & when my calves are real swollen (which is often unfortunately), the design on some of these socks gets stretched out, causing you to lose the very thing that makes these so pretty. The design stretches enough to where it looks blurry to completely lost on some designs & not so colorful. This hasn't happened on all the socks I've purchased from this maker, (I have about 6 pairs), but definitely on some. If you're on the thin side or don't experience much swelling, this probably won't be a problem at all. A solution to this would be if the company made them in a couple of sizes, like small & large.

These are very pretty in the package, BUT they are extremely thin, have an odd mismatch "seam" down each side, AND CANNOT BE RETURNED. I wear a 9 1/2 shoe and they were too small. Even though it says they are returnable, they give you a runaround with you explaining the reason, etc., etc., then loop you back to saying they are not returnable and contact customer service (where you start the futile process all over again). The price is ridiculous for patterned knee high stockings.
