I ordered these after they went on sale, and so far, I am happy with my purchase.  For me, they did not take any getting used to at all, and I wore them the day I received them.  I spend all day walking around my house and doing "things", so I like that these almost "propel" you when you walk.  I don't expect much toning results, but that's not why I purchased them.  I have varicose veins post babies, and I really thing that these keep the pain from that to a minimum.  I only wish that they were the slip on type that I could take off easily when going upstairs, etc.  They are very comfortable, and my 5 year old things that they are super cute!
