    Like Mikey said. Knee highs should be fine with proper kilt hose. If you need longer compression hose go for skin tone and don't worry about hiding your knees-----wear teh kilt and hose anyway. your health far outweighs a little bit of spandex showing between the top of your hose and the bottom of your kilt, and your mental health will definitely be aided also by the freedom of wearing the kilt.

    I have no experience with compression hose, but would well-fitting hand-knit hose work? They can be made to exactly fit your leg, unlike most machine-made hose. There are several of us here who make kilt hose and other socks, if you want to explore that option.

    When given a choice, most people will choose.
