Copper Fit Unisex Compression Socks for Men & Women - Improve Circulation & Reduce Swelling - Perfect for Running, Travel & Recovery (Select Your Size & Quantity)

I am 6ft (183cm) tall and 17.5in (44.5cm) from floor to lower back of my knee when seated. I bought the L/XL size and they fit me well. A sock measurers 9in (22.9cm) toe to heel and 17in (43cm) floor to knee.Pay attention to the instructions for ease of getting them on. Trying to pull them on like a regular sock would be frustrating.My slightly modified method is: 1) slide my arm into the sock with the top of the sock facing up, 2) slide in till I can grasp the heel at the rear, 3) slide the sock inside out over my arm as I pull the heel toward me, 4) the inside out sock will extend beyond the tip of the toe so I slide it back toward the heel so that I have the toe sticking out.Then grasping with both hands from heel to about half way to toe, 1) pull onto foot leaving a little room for toes, 2) pull back from just in front of heel until is set in sock, 3) then slowly pull the rest of the sock up from the ankle and over the calf.My preference is not to pull them very tight, I leave the top of the sock just below the fold of my knee, and the toe of the sock off my toes far enough the toes don't touch. My toes do NOT like being compressed!Taking a sock off: 1) pull down from the knee toward the heel and over toward the toe, 2) stop with top of the sock just behind the toe, 3) slide a couple fingers into the sock at the ankle and push down into the heel of the sock, 4) slide the sock forward off the heel to the front, 5) grasp the toe of the sock and pull away from the foot sliding off completely.Using the method above I wear these socks for work for 4 to 6 hours a day. I work doing morning stocking in a home improvement store, so it's 8-10,000 steps a day and an hour or so of that going up and down ladders. My legs weren't sore before, but now that I've tried these, I wear them every day, sometimes for several more hours depending on what I'm doing after work.Excellent value and a great product for me.
