Compression hose-open or closed toe?

<p>Lucky, lucky me!!! I just got a prescription for some thigh high compression stockings. My options are open or closed toe. Any thoughts or experiences? </p>

<p>The brand they wrote the prescription for is Juzo and online they show every color in the rainbow. Fun! I am going to find out if they take prescriptions online or if I have to go with beige or black from the pharmacy.</p>

<p>You may find that just because you have a prescription doesn’t mean they’ll be covered by insurance. I would go with open toe – just more comfortable. It was very helpful, as in <em>extremely</em> helpful to have the hosiery consultant demonstrate exactly how to put them on and take them off. She even had me practice with her critiquing.</p>

<p>Once you’ve had the demo and bought your first pair, you could buy them online.</p>

<p>I had beige, eh, they were no biggie…Mine were after varicose vein work…husband loved them…who would have guessed…</p>
