I had leg ulcers and the nurse measured my legs ...calfs and ankles,,,and ordered them for me ...If I had tried till doomsday, I'd never have managed. I bought a gadget , you put the stocking over it and slip your foot in then pull it up to the knee.
even then I had to have a couple of tries before I got the hang of it , and by the end of the day I was glad to get them off, there was always a red mark just below my knee. If you google them, and measure the width of your leg it lets you know what size you should order...

I bought zip-up compression socks for Dad from Amazon.
They're much easier to put on than the standard socks.
Several size options and colours available, not just these particular ones.

Have a look, if you order some and they don't suit you can easily send them back.

I keep getting adverts for compression socks that are supposed to be easy to put on and wear. The main one is Eversocks which seems to be an Australian company so sometimes they can take a while to arrive. They’ve had good reviews on Trustpilot. As I have varicose veins etc I’d like to try them. I can’t face trying to put on the usual compression socks. Wondered if anyone had tried them.
