It's almost 90 degrees here in Washington DC. I went without my stockings for two days and am paying for it. Any brands you like or tips would be helpful.

Hi,

When I use to wear mine I would wear the ones with no toes so I could wear sandals during the warmer months. It was still warm but cooler than having your feet completely covered.

Hi Lisa. I wish I could recommend a brand. Even though I'm in Scotland I find my stockings difficult to wear once the temperature gets above 70 degrees. And they look horrible with court shoes/similar (during autumn, winter and spring I wear them with trainers or ankle boots).

I have just ordered compression leggings (no feet) and full tights to wear under dresses. I got them online from amazon. I've never been able to wear sandals before so I am thrilled that I can now wear a dress and have more options. Going without them is awful when your legs swell so much, I can totally relate.

I am very happy with Sigvaris, I use open toe. The code I have used for the past six years is 503, but you can talk to them directly, I guess, to find out about the full range.

Not what you're looking for?
