You probably would benefit more from thigh high compression stockings or pantyhose because the compression doesn't stop below the knee like it does with compression socks. At the lower end we have found Hanes Alive Support PH, L'eggs Active Support and Sheer Energy to be good options. Nononsense Smart Support PH also features graduated compression. If you prefer compression stockings Ames Walker or Shop National have some good and reasonable options both with toes and open toe versions. Open toe style can prevent pressure or pinching on the toes especially if you are on your feet all day like in your case. If you spend a little time searching the web there is a wide variety of fashionable compression stocking products and price ranges to be found. It is well worth it to try different styles and brands to find out what works best for you. We are also planning on adding a product review section to our site Compression Stockings & More Compression stockings, support hosiery, compression apparel soon so keep checking there sometimes for the latest news or sign up for our feed. I hope this helps some. Best regards, Gregory

Most compression stockings and graduated support hosiery can be worn unisex you just have to figure out the sizing. You also may have to try some different styles and brands to find your best fit. You can find a lot of information on the topic here... http://www.compressionstockingssite.com

No need to be embarrassed at all. Guy’s legs need the support just as much as the ladies. If you don’t have any issues going on with your legs that require medical attention a good support hose might give you some good protection and support. Good ones I know of are Leggs Active Support or Sheer Energy, Nonsense also has some called Support and Smart Support. These all provide excellent support and last for quite a long time from my experience. For additional info on the subject please also visit out site http://www.compressionstockingssite.com/

You may want to experiment a little with different types and sizes of support hosiery. If you don't like pantyhose styles you can also try knee highs and thigh highs depending on where you need the support. Footless support pantyhose, tights or legging are another option. Bottom line you just have to figure out what is most comfortable and most suitable for your situation. Proper sizing is also a very important factor - you'll find that different brands and styles can feel quite different and often it takes some trial and error experience to find the best fit.
