MUK LUKS Women's Wide Width Compression Cotton Knee-High Socks, 2-Pack, Shoe Size 6-10

Usually, on most any compression sock the band is too tight, and usually the material is rough on skin - but these wide width Muk Luks are very nice and stretchy, non-binding, plus soft on skin. The more I build muscle, and sometimes legs swell, I do actually have to stretch the band on these using a wooden clamp from Harbour Freight (Pittsburgh hand screw clamp-12" and be sure to PINCH the very tight band while on the vice!) -just widen it with socks over it, ie use it the opposite way). If they crease your ankles you can use the vice for that as well. I do love these Muk Luk socks! They also come in some nice colors. Kuddos for making a better compression sock! Kuddos to Walmart for selling these!

Some of us seek quality and affordable compression stockings because we absolutely Must wear them, per doctors' orders! MukLuk produces this very reasonably priced product that meets my needs and often they're cute, too! Usually in the $20 price range for a pair, MukLuk's stockings launder well and seem to last for a long time. When I order them I personally make sure that it is a pair marked/noted for wider calves. I wear them because I've suffered blood clots in each leg (separate events) following international flights when I wasn't using compression stockings and before I began using anticoagulation medication (Eliquis 5 mg, twice daily). Those two steps have saved my life and that of countless others. Now Mukluks is a brand name that sounds kind of funny, but what they can do with their Compression Sox/stockings is deadly serious stuff. Even if you have never been officially diagnosed with having blood clots in one or both legs following a long flight, but say, your leg(s) afterwards hurt tremendously and may have been swollen, as well, definitely contact your medical professional and add a note to your shopping list: “buy some Mukluk Compression Stockings” and carry aspirin (not tylenol) which helps thin the blood and take it prior to your next flight because you just might be helping save your own life! Of course, check your situation out with your own medical professional assuming you're fortunate enough to have one serving in that capacity.
