stick your foot in, and pull, easing the scrunching out as you go. And if you think it's tough putting them on yoursel, try putting them on other people.

I lived in compression stockings when I was still working, they helped a great deal during 12 hour shifts on cement floors.

My only complaint was that they were hot in summer.

You get to complain. You still need to wear them, they reduce swelling in the area and that's a good thing.
