"Nurse here. They stay up all shift, nothing pinches behind the knee, and my legs feel lighter when I clock out than in my old leggings."

"I'm on my feet all day. In these my legs still feel light when I get home and put my feet up. Soft, not tight, I forget they're on."
Joanne, 52

"At my desk the waistband doesn't fold or dig in. Wide and smooth under a fitted tee. That was my biggest worry in a 2XL."
Pam, 45

"Size charts usually let me down. These fit my hips and thighs and still sit flat at my waist."
Shonda, 40

"At 65 I check everything in the mirror. Bent over, sat down, nothing shows through. Long sweater, boots, and I'm out the door."

Compression only works while it's on.
of venous disease patients never wore compression stockings or quit them.
Reasons included "too hot" and "cutting off" circulation.

Lipedema legs get heavier by the hour. Lightstep's graduated compression stays with you from drop-off to the couch, or through a 12-hour shift on your feet, so that end-of-day weight stops piling up.

Shading shows where the hold is firmest.
Thousands of tiny raised points in the 3D knit press in and ease off with each stride, like a light massage.
The 15-21 mmHg compression sits firmest at the ankle and relaxes as it climbs the thigh, and each step helps reduce swelling, heaviness and pain.
No massage appointment needed: you just get dressed.

Stockings end up folded away because they're hot, stiff and a struggle to pull on.
Lightstep feels soft, lets your skin breathe and goes on in ten seconds, so you'll reach for it again tomorrow.
Wearing it every day is what gets you the result.

To everyone else, it's a regular pair of leggings. Wear them to the office, the store or out to dinner. Nobody will ask.
Keep your prescribed garment for flare days, and your specialist's advice. Three pairs of Lightstep come to less than that one garment, and they cover all the days in between.
Legs feel lighter and less sore when evening comes.
Evenings stop feeling so heavy. One pair on, one in the wash.
Less swelling, and moving gets easier. Or your full refund.
By now, it's just what you wear. Daily wear did the work.
Try them risk-free for 30 days
That can be lipedema. It was never about how hard you tried.
Compression only helps if it's comfortable enough to keep on. Lightstep's raised 3D knit is made to stay on tender legs all day.

Finally stays up
I'm a size 22 and every legging I own rolls down when I sit. These stayed flat at my waist all day: errands, car, couch.

Desk to dinner
Comfy at my desk all day and dressed up enough with a cardigan for dinner out. They look like real pants, not gym wear.

Not too warm
I worried they'd be hot. Wore them on a six-hour drive with the heater on and was fine, they breathe. Wish they had a pocket.

Stretch without slipping
I do my morning stretches in them and keep them on all day. Nothing slides down and I never feel sweaty.

Doesn't roll on the stairs
Up and down the stairs with laundry all day. The waistband stays put and they don't sag at the knees.

Like new after washes
Washed cold and hung to dry about ten times now. The texture and the waistband look like day one. Baking in them right now.

Wore them out, at 64
I hadn't worn leggings outside the house in years. Burgundy with my vest and I felt put together at the market. Nothing see-through.

The knit is dense and stays opaque where regular leggings go thin and shiny. Pick up the laundry basket, tie a shoe, play on the floor with the grandkids: no checking behind you.

About four inches tall and knitted flat, with no folded elastic inside. It stays smooth on your tummy when you sit down, so there is nothing to roll, fold or hitch up all day.

S to 5XL, with room through the thigh and calf and a waist that stays snug. Five colors, the same soft 3D knit in every size, and with a bundle you pick the color and size of each pair.
Grab a tape measure: around your waistline, then around the widest point of your hips. Find the row that fits both.
Between two sizes? Take the larger one for an easier pull-on. Wrong size? We ship the right one at no cost.
Wear them for 30 days and judge on your own legs. If they do nothing for you, send them back for a full refund. No questions asked.
Graduated compression, a rhythmic micro-massage as you walk, and less swelling, heaviness and pain through the day.
They don't cure lipedema, no legging can, and they don't replace your care plan. They're the compression you'll actually keep on.
Yes. This is exactly who we make them for. The weight came off, the legs stayed, and that can be lipedema. A specialist can tell you for sure.
Lightstep won't change the shape of your legs, no legging can. It makes them feel lighter by dinner, in a pair you can stand to keep on.
Socks end at the knee, so your thighs get nothing, and the top band bites into your calf by evening.
Lightstep keeps going to the waist, firmest at the ankle, with no band at the knee to cut in.
That's the shape they're made for: a waist that stays snug, with room through the thigh and calf, S to 5XL.
Measure your waist and the widest part of your hips. If you land between two sizes, take the larger one.
They go up to 5XL, with room through the thigh and calf.
If your doctor has limited compression for you, ask them before you order.
Write to us and we'll ship the right one at no cost.
No. Prescribed garments are medical garments, chosen for you by a specialist. Keep yours for flare days and keep following that advice.
Lightstep is everyday clothing, the soft pair for all the other days.
No. You get a rhythmic micro-massage as you walk, but Lightstep is everyday clothing, not a treatment. Keep your appointments and your plan.
No. There's no cure for lipedema and leggings won't remove fat, so be wary of anyone who says otherwise.
What you get is less swelling, heaviness and pain, and all-day comfort. Keep following your plan and what your specialist tells you.
That's what they're for. They're soft and they breathe, so if you stand for a living, they can go on before work and still feel good at the end of the shift.
They're down and up again in seconds. The knit stretches back, so there's no tugging, even on a busy day.
No. Ten seconds and they're on, no gloves, no gadgets. They pull on like a regular legging, even on a morning when your legs are sore.
The wide, high waistband lies flat on your stomach and stays put, whether you're at a desk, on your feet or in the car.
Yes. Pick a color and a size for every pair in the offer, right above the button.
No. It's a dense seamless knit, 90% polyamide and 10% elastane, and it stays opaque in a deep squat, so they pass for regular leggings.
Full length, to the ankle. The inseam goes from 31.5 in (S) to 36.5 in (5XL). If you are petite, they scrunch nicely at the ankle.
Noticeably firmer than a fashion legging, gentler than prescribed flat-knit stockings.
It's firmest at the ankle and eases up the thigh, so your legs feel supported without hurting tender skin. They're everyday clothing, not a medical garment.
Every pregnancy is different, so please ask your doctor first.
Yes. Machine wash cold, hang to dry, and the knit and the waistband hold up, so they're ready again tomorrow.
Wear them for 30 days and judge on your own legs. If they do nothing for you, send them back and you get a full refund.
Orders ship the next business day with tracking. Delivery takes 2 to 3 business days in the US and 7 to 14 business days elsewhere.
Shipping is free on 2 or 3 pairs.
The compression, the moment you pull them on. Lighter, less achy legs from the first day, and it builds as you keep wearing them. You have 30 days to decide.
