I ordered these in 2011 and they worked GREAT. They were supportive and felt great once they went on. At the end of the day, when I took them off, the feet would look like they could walk away on their own b/c they were so stiff. However, I re-ordered these in Winter 2014 and they're terrible. I think they changed their formula b/c they don't support that much AND they get runs in them too easily. I went through 4 pairs, thinking they were my fault, before I realized that at the end of the day, the feet don't look they could walk away on their own. So, I purchased a different brand at my local Walgreen's and I won't be going back to these unless they bring back their old formula.
