When I saw these on the Amazon Vine selection I immediately thought of my father.  He is 87 years old and has a lot of issues with his legs.  I really didn't think they would make that much difference with his poor swollen ankles and varicose vein legs but was I ever wrong.  Dad said they were amazing!  He didn't want to take them off and even slept in them.  He said his ankles didn't swell as much and they felt like they messaged his legs.  We finally got him to take them off to be washed, but we put them back on as soon as they were dry.  I certainly know one thing he will get for Christmas....more of these socks!  There is only one little problem we ran into....getting them on his feet and legs!  It took my mother and my sister both to get them on while I was watching and laughing......we almost gave up, but it was worth the effort to know how much they helped Dad.  Definitely 5 huge stars.
