Allegro 20-30 mmHg Essential 8 Sheer Thigh High Support Hose for Women – Closed Toe Compression Stockings, Firm Graduated Legwear for Daily Comfort

The box that the stockings came in said, "Unisex. " When I went to put to put them on for the first time, I found two different features. First, unlike other compression stockings, the is actually a toe pocket on the bottom end of the stocking which makes makes my toes feel more comfortable like the heel pocket. Many compression stockings just have seam at the bottom where my toes are enclosed and that a seam can be uncomfortable. They have been three times now and after washing and line dried, the tops of the stocking seem to fit higher up on my thighs like my other compression stockings. When I tried them on for the first time, the top of the stockings were just above my knees, but the more I wear them the more they feel comfortable wearing them. My only other issue is the style. I was really surprised when I saw that the tops of the stockings had lace designs on the top two inches of the stockings. Two or three days a week I go to a health complex to work out. Initially, I told my trainer that I wear thigh high compression stockings and I felt a little embarrassed about putting them on and off in an open locker room. He said that his experience has been that no one pays attention to what guy is wearing. So I have been wearing my thigh high stockings, and so far only one younger man stopped, when he saw me putting on the stockings. However, I am 6'6"tall. I do not plan to wear my new sheer compression stockings with the lace tops to an open locker room. Despite how good my legs look in my new sheer stockings, in the locker room, . . . . . . . . . . I prefer to be inconspicuous.
