Run ForeverSports Compression Socks for Women & Men | 20-30 mmHg Knee High Medical Grade Compression Stockings

Strong compression, stay up well, large blue ok color, but wish had white also. Great price/value. Also prefer cotton/copper blend.... not sure what these are? UPDATE 2 weeks into wearing I realized as good as they are, they unfortunately are too tight at the top (to prevent slipping down) and tend to cut off return circulation from veins. Have to switch to graduated to help with better circulation upwards.

I've tried several different brands, these fit better (size large) than the others. Only complaint is the heels are getting thin, but that's after several years of wear so probably to be expected.

I wish it were the pink that the pic shows. Neon pink is a bit bold for my taste. Nice fabric though. Comfy. So far so good. (One star reduced for color not well represented. The difference for me between the pic's pink and neon pink is the difference between me liking the color and not liking the color. A lighter, softer pink would complement the grey so much better too.) They will work but won't be ordering another due to the color. Note to company: make the pink match the medium pink of the sock pic, and I'll order multiple pairs. I love THAT pink. I also bought a blue pair. Returning for a replacement pair or at least a replacement sock. One sock was great. The other blue sock had poor stitching where the blue and grey colors meet. The stitching wasn't weak, it just looked bad due to many grey stitches bleeding into the blue area. I want a nice clean boundary line of stitching, esp. in areas where my eyes can easily glance down and see. With a nice replacement pair with good stitching, I'd give that pair a higher score. I'm trying one large pair and one medium to see how I like the different sizes as my sizing fit in both. I appreciate that this company doesn't try to make each sock fit 4 a range of four sizes. The sizing chart really appealed to me. Fix the pink color and the stitching and 5 stars will be given. Final notes: They do provide compression although it doesn't feel like the amount provided by my other 20-30mmHg socks. (And I'm judging this while wearing the smaller of my 2 pairs.) They do help keep my legs from aching though so perhaps consider them on the light side of their range with the bonus of lovely fabric next to the skin.

I ordered my first pair of Run Forever Socks early January 2017 (Black, size Large). I was very impressed with these socks! I have been on the "hunt" for the perfect compression socks for me since 12/2015. I have literally tried over a dozen different brands. Sometimes the foot area is too large, despite what is indicated on the size chart, or sometimes the foot fits, but the calf is just too tight, likely designed for people with slimmer calves. Often the fits is fine, but the fabric isn't very soft or moisture wicking. I really love wearing Run Forever socks! I wanted to wear and wash them a few times to get a complete opinion before reviewing. Here are some reasons these socks are my favorite and work so well:-- Soft and comfortable cotton blend feel - not too thick and bulky, not too thin either. So many compression socks have a synthetic, nylon feel - I often have to wear low-cut socks OVER the compression socks to be cool and comfortable in my shoes all day.-- The foot area of the sock fits my foot perfectly (I wear women's US size 11 1/2 athletic shoe/ EU 44 - 17" calf) - no extra heel area showing or heel pulled up to ankle area to fit comfortably in shoes.-- The sock comes right up to my knee where it should; no shortage in length, and more importantly, no excess to roll or fold over which causes excessive, uncomfortable tightness around top of calf.-- The socks remain right where I place them in the morning with no slipping or adjustments needed all day and evening until ready to remove for showering.-- I appreciate the fact that there are not any designs or logos woven into the calf area, just a clean, sleek, smooth appearance.The only thing I would like to see change, would be the added option to purchase a sock with firmer compression in the 30-40 mmHg range. I often want to wear maximum compression socks several times a week, so I am still on the lookout for a brand that works for me with an increased level of firmness.

These run small, be wary if you calf is big.

Good Quality

These are hard to get on and off, but my doctor approved of them. That's all I needed to know. Used for venous insufficiency.

I very rarely post a review but I can say that buying this compression sock "saved me" on a recent trip to Europe. I googled and found this sock and decided to buy a pair to carry on a trip to Europe. I am 68 years old and healthy with no real issues but just decided to buy a pair. I wore them on the flight over and they felt wonderful and kept my feet from swelling. We had a wonderful trip until I decided to wear sandals when visiting a museum with marble stairs - bad idea. I ended up falling the last 3 stairs and when I landed I was sure that I had broken my foot. I did not break it fortunately but I had to travel the next day with a 9 hour jet trip and there is no way that I could have managed without the wonderful compression socks. I went to a doctor when I got home and he said to continue wearing the compression sock and to keep my foot elevated as much as possible. Well it is 3 weeks later and yesterday was the first day that I went without my wonderful compression sock. I wear a size 13 shoe and the sock was just so comforting to my swollen and purple foot. I did fold down the sock about 4 inches from my knee because I have a large calf size. The sock NEVER lost its snugness!!! I wore it with some open sandals to work. I can never thank the company enough for creating such a wonderful sock. If anyone is traveling, I would never go without taking compression socks.
