Yes, always keep the previous pair (or two) as a fall-back. I've known a lady to keep her previous stocking for use when swimming (so she always had something on her leg). Xo

Try phoning them... If you haven't already.They ate usually quite helpful. I always keep my older tights for emergencies. Hope all goes to plan.

I'd ring them. They sent my replacement sleeve( developed a hole after 3 weeks) to Boots. Boots were baffled as to why it had arrived.

Oh good. They are very nice on the phone. I was so confused that they couldn't send it to my address. Had to be to the chemist I used.

Never get rid of the old ones before you get a replacement.

I had replacements but after I had thrown old ones out I realised my new ones were short footed.
