Lemon Hero Zipper Compression Socks 15-20 mmHg Open Toe, Medical Zip Up Compression Stockings for Women and Men - Improves Blood Circulation, Relieves Pain & Swelling

I have had excellent luck with these socks. I have a partially fused back so trying to put on standard support socks, i.e. without the zippers, are almost impossible. These have zippers so I have a chance. I am very happy with them and have bought these twice.Please note, I got them medium compression and one size larger than I normally wear. That helps to get them on, even with the zippers.

delivered the next day when a zipper broke, was important to get asap. also notice the material, while just as supportive, is much easier to remove, don't have to break my back like the former pair. not sure why, but hope it was by design

I have edema and we have to wrap my ankles and legs each night with, what looks like, ace bandages. This sock keeps the edema under better control than the wraps and takes about the same effort to put on. They go over my feet and legs about as well as you would expect compression sock to do. There are 2 problems. First, the zipper. The seam inside the zipper channel keeps getting caught in the zipper. We have to be very careful to avoid this but if it happens it is very difficult to get the zipper loose. This has happened twice in 4 attempts to put them on. Second problem is the length. The top sits just under my knees and can get uncomfortable. They are OK to sleep in but I have to take them off right after waking up in the morning. I use another compression sock during the day. They don't work quite as well on the edema but they are much more comfortable to walk in.

FAR SUPERIOR EFFECTIVE PRODUCT FOR PRICE then other brands I bought for relative didn't come close to quality and comfort. Truly graduated compression. The brand that I got in a black seal bag always hurt their legs, and smelled more chemically. This brand didn't have that chemical smell, and it has protection on the zipper so you don't snag skin. Save your self time and aggravation, and money in the long run, and just get this brand.

Good quality high compression, perfect for my mother in law. But the size runs small

I used to love love love this pride think I bought nine pairs of and then in December I thought well I get one second through the older ones away. So I re-ordered one pair and it came in and it was huge. The heel bulged out and it came above my knee so I sent it back. They maybe they sent me the wrong thing so I ordered another one and it came in the same way and I could not understand what is going on so once again, I returned that one and I ordered another one. I’m done at that one didn’t come in the same way as the last two that I ordered. Totally totally totally different material fabric. It didn’t compress as well as the ones, 9-pair of them did, much much much loser. Then I thought to myself maybe I ordered the wrong size so I went back and check my size and they were the identical. I actually ordered the re-order button. So so so so unhappy I ultimately loved the older style the tighter fit. The ones they have out now are looser they hit you above right in the middle of your kneecap so you have to fold it down to make it look presentable. I’m not quite sure why they changed the material. If you don’t get the heel ball right in the right place with the new ones you have a big like titty looking thing on the side of your foot. It’s crazy. I have no idea why they changed not not happy. They used to get four star now I’m giving them one star and now I would not buy them Again. Looking for a new place that had the old ones they used to have.

I’m 83 and I run 30 to 50 miles per week. In 2014 a little too much chemo cured my cancer but left me with severe neuropathy in both hands and legs. My grip strength has disappeared and my balance is not good. I always wear both tights and compression socks because they help to restore my proprioception so that I trip or fall less often. I have tried many compression socks and sleeves, including CWX, Truform, Copper Fit, Kingbridal, SB SOX, Thirty48, Blitzu, Relaxsan, and Hi Clasmix. The Lemon Heros are by far the best for me for these reasons:The open toe design means they don't press painfully on my toenails. All of the closed toe designs eventually start hurting so that I can't wear them for a half-marathon or farther.They are the easiest to put on. They require no grip strength at all and even have a loop of fabric on the pull tab so I can zip them up with one finger. The Kingbridal are second in this category. Of the others, only CWX and Copper Fit come close to being "easy" to put on.The open end on my foot fits firmly but without too much pressure. Other open toe designs leave a ring of soreness around my foot after an hour or so of running. I can wear the Lemon Heros all day long with no discomfort.The Lemon Heros provide excellent ankle support and compression around the entire calf even though the fabric is thin enough that I can wear Thorlo socks over them for more comfort and cushioning. The tights slip on easily over the Heros and Thorlos. I even add Zensah leg warmers for cold weather. The SB SOX and Blitzu sleeves provide good ankle support but don't cover the calf, so don't help as much with proprioception.In short, the Lemon Heros are the answer to my prayers, compression socks built by people who understand human anatomy and the needs of the people who wear them. They even have a "skin guard" strip to prevent the zipper from catching on skin or hair. I finally feel strong again and fully in control of my legs and feet.All that remains is to see how well the zipper/fabric connection holds up with long usage. I've worn them only about a dozen times and so far they look good. I'm careful to put foot powder on my heels and hold the sides of the zipper together (as much as possible) while putting them on so as not put stress on the zipper.Update 7/22/21I've been wearing these socks regularly for 10 months, at least every other day for 1 to 2 hours while I run and a total of 3 to 4 hours per wearing. They have held up far better than expected. The fabric loops on the pull tabs came off, which was more or less expected and not a big deal because they aren't really necessary. I thought that by now, with all the donning and doffing and washing, I'd start to see holes developing in the heels, but from what I can see, I'll get at least another 6 months of wear before I'll have to discard them. That's really good for my running socks. Even my Thorlos don't always last that long.The zipper/fabric connection still looks 100% solid.BTW, I always wear cheap cotton gloves when putting the socks on, because the gloves prevent my fingernails from digging into the fabric and, over time, weakening it.They tell you to wear the zipper on the inside of your leg. I wear it on the outside because I have a sensitive spot on the inside of my leg just where the bottom of the zipper lies. The zipper causes that spot to itch. Wear your socks however you like.

Great socks. Will or again. 👏
