Hi Barney. I checked out the site & as you say, the stockings are so much cheaper. Don't mean to sound negative but the prescription I got from the neuro sets out the tightness, gauge & length I need. The medical supply store where I bought them have trained people who fit you according to the prescription. I'm not sure how good I'd be ordering on my own. BTW, after 3 days of wearing them, I can see the veins on the top of my left foot. Haven't seen them in years. They're working !! Diane

I have to wear them for ankle swelling - they work, but are very hard to get on & off.

The dr wrote me a prescription for them because the pressure sores on my ankles won't heal because my feet are always swollen. Apparently, the water prevents blood from properly circulating to those areas & healing is greatly slowed down. I just can't believe the amount of money I have to spend that is not covered by the Province or by our private insurane - cushions, memory foam for the bed, bandages, incontinence pads (just in case) and on and so on. They do cover my catheters - whoopie ! Diane in Canada
