Hi bluesman--What brand/compression level do you wear? I started to wear in public with shorts,and don't care what people think or say. I haven't heard one comment,just a few looks. My family and neighbors know why I wear them. The only comments were from the guys at work. [ I expected that.] I refuse to stop living my life, and am not going to hide my legs, and suffer in the heat of summer by wearing long pants over my pantyhose--life is too short.for that. They are a medical garment--that's it. They are skin tone, not some wild colour that would be obvious to see. I don't wear for fashion-I wear out of health and necessity. If you don't already wear in public, I hope these words of encouragement help. Take care.

Hi Bluesman-do you have leg health issues as well? Is that why you wear support hose? Now that I have to wear them daily, I forget I have them on sometimes.
