GBLounge 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!

GBNot helpful with my certain condition The product I received was great recommended by my vascular surgeon in treatment for DVT for treatment in swelling in the legs. However upon receiving the socks and wearing them for several days, all throughout the day and off during night, I didn't notice an improvement with my condition of DVT in the leg. While some people may benefit in my case that doesn't seem to workout. Well I'll have to look into other alternative methods to treat DVT. 3 months on blood thinners and I still have it.

GBAmes 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.

GBPleased with the quality and customer service. I have used Ames Walker to purchase compression stockings for several years and have been pleased, both with the customer service and the quality of their products (the Ames Walker Brand). I would have given a 5 star rating, except that recently, I'm having trouble finding a selection of regular knee high compression garments that are not primarily making a new fashion statement. I'm not looking for diamonds and polka dots. I'm looking for knee high compression stockings that don't draw much attention to themselves. The new stockings are fine, just don't make it hard for me to find the old sheer knee-high style I'm looking for. Thanks.

GBAmes 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.
