I am some what youngish but I suffer from a blood clot disorder. I was diagnosed with this disorder when I was about 26 years old!! So half of my adult life I spent refusing  to wear compression socks because they were hot and ugly and just so  uncomfortable to wear. But these are the best I have ever worn. They are light weight but still have the compression I need. They are just perfect for the hot summer months. And they are so cute I can wear these with a pair of shorts and not feel embarrassed. So nice!!  I will definitely get more of these!!  Thank you!!
