Hi Diane - you might want to try Dr. Leonard's (drleonards.com) that's where I get mine for about 9 dollars per pair. I have to wear them for ankle swelling - they work, but are very hard to get on & off.

The dr wrote me a prescription for them because the pressure sores on my ankles won't heal because my feet are always swollen. Apparently, the water prevents blood from properly circulating to those areas & healing is greatly slowed down. I just can't believe the amount of money I have to spend that is not covered by the Province or by our private insurane - cushions, memory foam for the bed, bandages, incontinence pads (just in case) and on and so on. They do cover my catheters - whoopie ! Diane in Canada
