Juzo, Jobst are good brands. Mediven uses a layered approach. A pair of 15 mm on top of another pair of 15 mm gives higher compression, but is not so difficult to put on. There are assistive devices for this, Doff'n'donner, which is really the cat's ass for this sort of thing, or various frames you stretch it over and slide your foot into.
Oh yeah, take the stairs, you fat, fish belly white MFers |
Jobst in black, blue, khaki and white available on Amazon (Prime) for $11-16.

Tobra, do you use something like the Doff n Donner to get your socks on? It's it that hard with the 15mmHg or is that for stuff that's tighter?
