When my husband's doctor recommended he start wearing compression stockings, we picked up a pair of this brand at our local pharmacy, where we get a discount via our health plan.  My husband likes the brand because they are comfortable to wear (although a little more difficult to put on than regular socks), and his legs feel better.  We wanted to get four more pairs, but our pharmacy was out of stock.  We were very pleased to find the same brand on Amazon for a better price than the pharmacy discount!
