I got some knee high socks at Target the other day--2 pair for $8. I got
grey, they also had other colors. They were in women's hosiery, in 2
different places.

I would never have thought to look in Target. While one of the actors got
them from his wife (a nurse), the other went to a medical supply house. I
have no idea how expensive they are. But they seem to be able to fit various
sizes - from short and quite stocky to tall.

They are hideously expensive, but are almost indestructible. I think they
are called compression socks, or some such, and they can be found in the
travel section of places like Target and various pharmacies, or with the
footcare section.
