Have Worn These Hose for 30 years

When I was 27 years old, I mentioned to my personal physician that varicose veins - horrible ones - ran in my mother's family. My grandfather had them, and my mother had them bad enough to have vein surgery twice. The doctor mentioned to me that I really should be wearing support hose every single day.Well, I bought these ones - and 30 years later at age 57, my legs are gorgeous. I have worn them everyday and I even wore them through my pregnancy. (I cut a hole in the stomach panel and wore them until my 8th month - at which point I started wrapping my legs). My sister, who did not wear support hose and is 10 years younger than me - is now facing vein injections/surgery, as my mother.I can't say more than that. Yes, they are a little expensive, but VERY hard to run, and they definitely do the job. My legs look like a 25 year old and what more can you ask for?
