    I can tell you being stuck with compression socks that only come in black and white. It wears on you after a while especially for the tartan kilts. Black rarely goes with a tartan and to me white looks like underwear socks.
    This is what spawned my dyeing and my Juzo sock string. Some variety to liven it up.

    I know there are a lot of diabetic kilt wearers out there that should be in compression socks - at the same level as my Juzos. But are risking their health in order to wear colored socks. Most orthotics look - well - orthotic.

    Pants is only a present tense verb here. I once panted, but it's all cool now.

    Can you not wear regular kilt hose over the compression socks? Basically, treat the compression socks like a sock liner?
