I am neither pregnant or a serious athlete, but as some of you may recall from previous posts or my About Me section, I am the survivor of a major auto accident. Although I have hardware in my legs and the bones have healed, the trauma of having both legs crushed still leaves my legs and feet tired if I am on them for long periods of time.At first I wore these around the house and maybe for an errand or two, but the real test was last weekend when I was visiting family in Indiana. Since we had such a short time together we decided to have some fun at the Indiana State Fair, but my legs were definitely a concern. After all, they often tire, ache or get sore after running errands with the kids for a couple of hours, so I was a little nervous to be on my feet for an entire day. Of course we took frequent breaks, but it was my first all-day excursion in a long time.
I was relieved that evening when my legs had some soreness, but no more than they did on my shorter jaunts around town. I also like the seamless design, so you don’t end up with any uncomfortable pressure or lines from seams and the orange pair I chose were vibrant and cheerful. These will also be useful when we travel overseas this fall, to reduce discomfort when I exercise and are perfect for air travel, athletes, varicose veins, or anyone who is one their feet for long periods of time. They are also appropriate for maternity compression, and I would recommend the sock version since we all know that our feet get just as swollen as the rest of our legs when we are expecting.
