Dr Scholls womens Graduated Compression Knee High Socks - Comfort and Fatigue Relief - Mild 8-15 Mmhg

I love these compression socks. I wear them every day. They have been the best ones that I have found. I have bought several pairs over the time that I’ve needed them to help manage my leg swelling. They are tight but not so tight they cut off circulation, which is nice. They tend to be comfortable enough that I can easily wear them all day and not notice them or them causing me pain or discomfort. I wear my regular socks over them (I love to wear coordinated socks with my outfits or for a holiday.). Because of this I have learned to cut the toes of the compression socks off so that I won’t get a toe fungus or anything. I learned that the hard way and had a toe nail get infected and fall off. They are very stretchy and glide on easily. This nude color actually match’s my skin tone, so they blend in with my skin. I love the pattern on them it makes me feel very fancy. I have received many compliments on them from people thinking they were hose or stockings instead of compression socks. They are very supportive and keep my legs from swelling as much as they will without them. Read more

These fit well. Not too much compression and breathable cotton. Read more

These are good compression socks. They definitely run a little bit small so maybe order a size up if you're close to the top end of the size range. I like that they're thin-ish and relatively soft. They're not too hard to put on. The compression is good for my feet and legs. Firm, but not super squeezy. Will probably order again at some point, just in a larger size. I have to say that Dr. Scholls seems to be the best fit and most comfortable compression socks me out of all the brands I've tried. Read more

Comfortable for travel. I’ve used expensive ones that feel tight and uncomfortable. These hold well through use and washing. Comfy for everyday use. Read more

My ankles and legs swell when I fly or drive, so I got these to try, and they work great! I had no pain or discomfort Read more

In general, I think these are pretty good compression socks. But I found the length, as a kneesock, to be too long. The top edges rolled up around the top of my calf and cut in to the calf, making it uncomfortable after an eight hour flight. I also found the foot twisting around and hard to re-center flat on my foot. Decent price, I’ll probably wear for short shopping trips etc. but not for several hours all day. Read more

I am changing my opinion of these compression socks. The lightweight fabric surprised me into thinking the compression wasn't strong enough--but it's actually perfect for daily wear. The fabric smooth, so pants and leggings ride easily over the top without bunching, and the compression is comfortable and strong enough to give my feet and legs a little boost with each step. Especially with the price, they are worth a try if you are thinking about using compression socks. Read more

I have lymphedema. For decades I've had prescription, 'custom made' support hose. I've endured tremendous discomfort with them. Some cost $189 a pair, and still didn't fit right. Binding around the ankle, too tight under the knee, causing 'balooning' of my lower legs and feet. I'm retired now, so I don't get them anymore, but have been buying stockings online. I decided to try these, and a few different brands. At first, they seemed a little difficult to put on, then, I remembered that I used surgical gloves to put the prescription ones on. Great idea, because I was able to smooth them up. Checking frequently throughout the day, I noticed no swelling around my ankle. The tops seemed a little tight, but I adjusted the bands a little, every once in a while. I must have worn them for a total of 12 hours the first day. When I took them off, there were virtually zero marks on my legs from them, and my ankles were not swollen! Ordinarily, I would have deep marks up and down my legs, of the stocking knit pattern and any seams. I'm quite surprised and impressed with these. They look and feel like socks, not stockings. The elastic appears to be functionally and properly graduated. They don't seem to be as tight knit as nylon stockings, allowing my legs to breathe. So far, they seem to be quite durable. They come in cute colors, and don't ride down. I bought other ones of the same brand that appear to be for winter. I'm happy I decided to try them. Part of the reason was that they were not very expensive at all. Loving them so far! (The picture was taken after I took them off, and noticed virtually zero swelling). 😀 Read more
