Lemon Hero Zipper Compression Socks 15-20 mmHg Open Toe, Medical Zip Up Compression Stockings for Women and Men - Improves Blood Circulation, Relieves Pain & Swelling

I’m 83 and I run 30 to 50 miles per week. In 2014 a little too much chemo cured my cancer but left me with severe neuropathy in both hands and legs. My grip strength has disappeared and my balance is not good. I always wear both tights and compression socks because they help to restore my proprioception so that I trip or fall less often. I have tried many compression socks and sleeves, including CWX, Truform, Copper Fit, Kingbridal, SB SOX, Thirty48, Blitzu, Relaxsan, and Hi Clasmix. The Lemon Heros are by far the best for me for these reasons:The open toe design means they don't press painfully on my toenails. All of the closed toe designs eventually start hurting so that I can't wear them for a half-marathon or farther.They are the easiest to put on. They require no grip strength at all and even have a loop of fabric on the pull tab so I can zip them up with one finger. The Kingbridal are second in this category. Of the others, only CWX and Copper Fit come close to being "easy" to put on.The open end on my foot fits firmly but without too much pressure. Other open toe designs leave a ring of soreness around my foot after an hour or so of running. I can wear the Lemon Heros all day long with no discomfort.The Lemon Heros provide excellent ankle support and compression around the entire calf even though the fabric is thin enough that I can wear Thorlo socks over them for more comfort and cushioning. The tights slip on easily over the Heros and Thorlos. I even add Zensah leg warmers for cold weather. The SB SOX and Blitzu sleeves provide good ankle support but don't cover the calf, so don't help as much with proprioception.In short, the Lemon Heros are the answer to my prayers, compression socks built by people who understand human anatomy and the needs of the people who wear them. They even have a "skin guard" strip to prevent the zipper from catching on skin or hair. I finally feel strong again and fully in control of my legs and feet.All that remains is to see how well the zipper/fabric connection holds up with long usage. I've worn them only about a dozen times and so far they look good. I'm careful to put foot powder on my heels and hold the sides of the zipper together (as much as possible) while putting them on so as not put stress on the zipper.Update 7/22/21I've been wearing these socks regularly for 10 months, at least every other day for 1 to 2 hours while I run and a total of 3 to 4 hours per wearing. They have held up far better than expected. The fabric loops on the pull tabs came off, which was more or less expected and not a big deal because they aren't really necessary. I thought that by now, with all the donning and doffing and washing, I'd start to see holes developing in the heels, but from what I can see, I'll get at least another 6 months of wear before I'll have to discard them. That's really good for my running socks. Even my Thorlos don't always last that long.The zipper/fabric connection still looks 100% solid.BTW, I always wear cheap cotton gloves when putting the socks on, because the gloves prevent my fingernails from digging into the fabric and, over time, weakening it.They tell you to wear the zipper on the inside of your leg. I wear it on the outside because I have a sensitive spot on the inside of my leg just where the bottom of the zipper lies. The zipper causes that spot to itch. Wear your socks however you like.

i love this socks, i am female and 5'11 and it is usually difficult to find anything that fits properly in lenghth, but this socks did, the compression is just enough that i can wear them all day without any problem and the zipper on the outside makes it very easy to get them on and off. i remember having to help my mother years ago to get compression socks on and it was a real struggle and almost impossible without help for an elderly person and at 75 i would think i am in that category - but back to the zipper, who ever though about it needs an award - the zipper made getting this socks pn so easy, no struggle to get the sock just over the foot, it was amazingly easy to pull it up in the right position on the leg and all that was left was to pull the little handle, ingineous, i loved it so much, i ordered them with toes, without toes and different colors. thank you for having such a wonderful medical needed item. oh, and i almost forgot, they feel silky on the skin and look very good when i wear them. in sandals, with my lackered toes out, you can barely see that i wear compression socks. wonderful product and i highly recommend if you need them to try this brand

Zipper Compression Socks are easy to put on with zippers, comfortable to wear on long flights, walking and sleeping if needed.However, the vendor's website link to receive support with my order comes up as invalid:I ordered two pairs of "Zipper Compression Socks Pair with Zip", one flesh tone and one in black to use during a trip where we planned to do a lot of walking. What I received on Sept 3, 2024 was two flesh tone compressive socks and no black pair. I had no time to return and wait for a replacement pair in black before I traveled, so I would like to receive the black pair that were not shipped to me.

I've bought my senior mother several different pairs of compression socks. They are very helpful in reducing swelling and pain but so hard to get on! Then I saw these with the zipper. Such a big difference! Instructions say to use some powder first and that is an additional help. These are great socks!! Our only issue is that they're a little long and zip up right under her knees, causing them to swell some. Be sure to measure and get the right size.

I’ve been wearing these for a month and unfortunately I cannot really recommend them. Yes, they are much easier to put on than other compression socks. TIP: To help get the zipper up, hold down the metal zipper stop with the thumbnail of one hand while zipping it up with the other hand. Worked for meHowever, there are other issues:1. They are too short and therefore cause a deep indentation on your leg at the top of the sock (I’m only 5’4”). I found myself unzipping the sock slightly to prevent this which of course affected the compression ability.2. The zipper itself will leave an indentation as well but that’s to be expected. Not terrible. Does not cause discomfort.3. Overall the sock’s ability to control swelling was minimal. If you only need mild compression this sock may work for you.

Excellent product when on your feet all day. They are not binding but comfy, easy to put on, legs don't get a heavy tired feeling when doing a lot of walking or standing. The zipper is a wonderful idea and the little white tab that keeps the leg hairs from getting caught in the zipper is a great idea. Very pleased with this product.

Very comfortable and easier to put on than regular compression socks.

Good quality product; the person I gifted them to is very pleased saying they are a well fit and feel very comfortable. -

No me funcionan. Aprietan demasiado y no las puedo usar. Las tallas mostradas no son correctas.

It's not the right size. My size is large normally. There's no size tag on the product. Only the packet has a sticker with L on it. How can I be sure it's L size?

I found that I found it very easy to put on legs. My mum who is 90 managed to put it on.
