The last pair of compression socks I purchased were so hard to put on, and it felt like I was wearing a girdle on each of my thighs. Needless to say, with this pair it was pretty much one and done, so I was eager to try the LEVSOX Cotton Compression Socks for Women Men 20-30 mmHg Knee High Cute Support Sock for Nurses Flying Pregnancy Pros Made out of cotton, nylon, spandex, soft and breathable Easy to put on Stay up Range of colors offered - don’t look like traditional compressions stockings Comfortable all day long I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by these compression socks. I have had some bad experiences trying to put them on, but their directions (with photos) made it a breeze! Step 1: Reach inside and grab the heel. Pull the sock inside out to the heel Step 2: Pull the sock up to your heel. Step 3: Grab the cuff and pull the sock up. Straighten out the sock and smooth out the wrinkles to your comfort. Voila! You’re done! When I put my hand inside the sock to grab the heel, it was such a tight fit, I had my doubts. But the process worked brilliantly. It must have something to do with their 5-zones graduated pressure from foot to knee. All I know is the socks were comfortable and stayed up all day without slipping down or binding. The cotton fabric makes them soft and breathable. They are nice looking socks that come in a variety of colors. I like the mix that comes in shades of beige and brown. And even though I wear a size 6 women’s shoe, I sized up to the Medium-Large because I wanted to give myself a little extra room. They were a tiny bit long in the foot and length, but adjusted beautifully. At the time of this review there was a coupon that made this set of 4 stockings $24.99, which I find to be a very good value. Highly recommend! Read more
These are very nice socks, appear to be of good quality--I do like the cotton---but unfortunately they are too long for me, wish they make them for ladies with short legs. Read more
The misses likes these as they are tight and dont fall down. She says they are comfortable and compress her legs well. Good quality and variety of colors. They are a little pricey, but if she is happy, then I am happy. I tried a pair and they are ok on me too. I wouldn't call these pain relief so much as pain prevention. IF your legs are already hurting, I don't think that is going to go away. But if you put these on before your legs hurt, I think they will help prevent the pain from starting. Read more
My friend swears by her compression socks and has been on me to try them for ages. After one night of sleeping in a pair of these I have to admit she was right. They apply a comfortable amount of compression, they are a soft breathable cotton and my legs felt really good in the morning- I hadn’t been flexing and moving as much throughout the night. Read more
I have tried a LOT of compression socks, as a menopausal woman with occasional edema. I wear a size 7.5-8 shoe in general, and about a size 14-16 in pants. These socks had good and not-so-good points. Let's have the not-so-good first. I could not get these socks past my ankles. Way too much compression for anyone with heavier calves, and mine aren't even that large. Now the good points....they are nice colors and designs, and they feel nice. My mother, who wears a size 10-12 pants and size 8-8.5 shoes could get them on comfortably, but stated that after a while, they were too tight for her comfort. These would be really nice socks with less compression. Read more
I have big calves so I purchased them figuring they would have been a right fit, but my calves not as big as I thought so I had to return them wished they had them in regular size but when I looked for them, couldn’t find them so I had to return them. Read more
These are a breeze to wash and very comfortable to wear. I sit most of the day for work at a desk or other type of chair, and the compression of these socks helps reduce any swelling or water retention in my feet and ankles after a long day. The fit is perfect and quality is soft enough that the material does not bother my sensitive skin. I try not to rely on clothes or garments as a first line defense against swelling and water retention during long work days, and for the most part regular movement, stretching, and exercise throughout the work day will suffice. However, on the couple of days a month where I'm stuck in meetings and zoom calls back to back, these are an excellent help. Read more
I wear size 6 shoes, and the medium-large socks fit me perfectly. I’m on my feet for 12-hour shifts, and these compression socks works really well. They’re easy to put on, and they keep my legs and feet from feeling tired or swollen. The cotton material is soft and comfortable, and the knee-high design stays in place all day without slipping. Even after several washes, the quality holds up great. Definitely a must-have if you spend long hours standing or walking! Read more
