I used to have trouble putting on my compression socks. I goggled a video that showed me an easier way to put them on. I'll try and describe the method I use. I hold one of them with my thumbs on the inside with both hands and fold about 2/3's of the sock down to the outside. I place my foot in the half sock securely keeping the fold in the doubled position. After I get my foot in all the way I gradually pull up the half of the sock that was doubled over. I only need to use 10 - 15 units of compression. That makes it easier but I can still do it with higher compression. I can't walk well without compression socks and sneakers on but keep them on from the time I get up until the time I go to sleep. Core-spun by Thermafirm have been the most comfortable sock for me. You need to measure very carefully around your calf to get the correct size. Hope this helps.
