These were a very good pair for me, and after having a bad experience with the comparable Mediven version (better looking but very painful), I will be buying another Jobst. It is true, they are not that sheer as I was hoping for. They're pretty opaque actually, which may be because the compression is so high. I also tried the other brand because I have very pale skin and the lightest of these looks ridiculous on me - they are way too dark, and it makes it too obvious I am wearing them. They do run, but I am not well and so it may be that I am a bit hard on them because I fall sometimes, I couldn't say if they are weaker than other brands.
At this point I need another pair and we are in the midst of colder months so they will be hidden under clothing. The thing that really sells me on getting another pair is that they are so comfortable I put them on first thing in the morning and hardly want to take them off before bed, and they do help my heart out a lot. I had no problem with them moving or falling, they fit right and do what they are supposed to. Sexy? Definitely not. But practical, yes. I do sometimes have to arrange the band around the open foot, it sometimes squeezes too tight (my feet are not swollen at all so I find open toes to be more comfortable and practical), but that may be an issue with all open-toe stockings, I am not sure. I could probably cut a slit in the bottom of the foot to relieve some of the pressure in the next pair if necessary..
