I'm supposed to wear 20/30 compression thigh-high hose. I wear a size Large in everything, even in the hose. But they're always too long and/or don't stay up. Very frustrating. And when I order traditional leggings, I have the same problem - they extend to the balls of my feet. The 7/8 CompressionZ leggings are the solution. They fit perfectly, give great compression, and are very comfortable. Now if they'd just make them with pockets.......
