Ames Walker Brand-My Choice Since being diagnosed with venous insufficiency several years ago, I have needed to wear compression hose. After much research, I found that Ames Walker provided the most information and best quality compression hose and socks (I wear both). While the site offers more than one brand, I have found the Ames Walker brand wears best, the variety of styles and colors provided is excellent, and the price is competitive. I don't need to shop anywhere else.

The Lounge Doctor Leg Rest is the Best!! The Lounge Doctor Leg Rest has been a great addition in my life. Working long hours into the night in a restaurant, playing piano standing for various hours three times a week. All these are factors that cause my legs to ache and begin to show minor swelling. Once I used the lounge doctor, I noticed the difference right away. My legs are not aching as much, and no more noticeable swelling.

Ames Walker Coolmax Over-the-Calf Socks Placed orders in Jan and Feb for Ames Walker 15 - 20mmHG Coolmax socks and 8-15 mmHG E-Z Walker Sport Crew Socks. I wash on delicate and hang dry all my socks. Though initially comfortable and effective, they have not worn well in the 2 months since purchase: foot part pilling and the compression aspect (needed to reduce foot inflammation) no longer seems to be doing the job. 8-15 socks lost shape after just a few washings. Sadly, probably better to pay more for longer lasting/more effective compression socks. Not a good value.

Last order of compression socks were … Last order of compression socks were suppose to be XL, but were not as large as previous orders I had gotten from them. They always send me discounts for womens products, when I am definitely not a woman. I have quit ordering from them.

Lounge Doctor Leg Rest with Cooling Gel Memory Foam At first I wasn't sure that someone as young as myself needed such an item. While working at Walmart and standing on my feet for 8-10 hour shifts I found myself with painful, restless legs. I have found that propping my legs up for 15-30 minutes as soon as I get home from work, shopping, a trip to the park, or even long car rides makes such a difference! The memory foam is such a comforting feature as well, it supports my large calves without compressing them and making it an uncomfortable experience. I sometimes even nap on the couch while using this. Love love love it and I've suggested it to every family member and friend. Give it a try!
