You'll need the strength of Hercules.
I bought these for my elderly (93 yrs old) father to prevent swelling in his lower legs. Sounded like just what the doctor ordered. Despite prolonged struggling, he couldn't pull them on; neither could I. It would take terrifically strong hands to get these on, strength that people with edema in their legs typically don't have.  I returned them; to their credit, the seller did agree to refund my money.
