Our Review

We just love the fact that Knittex size their stockings by shoe size and leg length rather than using tights sizing based on weight and hip size like so many other manufacturers. These stockings are made in sizes 2 (M) to 4 (XL) to cover leg lengths from 70 to 78 cm and foot lengths 23 to 26 cm.

Knittex Hazard Gamble Hold Ups

The sizing we love, but the style name... hazard gamble seems pretty risky rather than risqué.

The packet says “lace top” but the stockings, as you can see in the picture, are not lace topped. The sheer 15 denier legs are topped with four parallel elasticated bands the top two of which have silicone band on the inside to grip the leg.

The legs are unshaped and finished with a lightly reinforced toe.

Sizing is accurate, with plenty of stretch to get a good fit.  The tops feel rather hard in the hand but once on your leg they feel much better.  The legs are smooth and soft too.   The look is quite flattering and as suitable for wear to the office or a party.

Our one reservation was the silicone bands which seem less grippy than many we have tried.  They never actually slid down but there was a constant temptation to keep pulling them up!
