CompressionZ Compression Socks 20-30 mmHG for Men & Women - Nurses, Runners

You read my header. For some people these will be tricky to put on, but understand real compression anything is. Once on, they feel so utterly amazing! I am a mans size 11. I ordered the mediums and they fit very well. The padding in the foot area is totally welcomed. They come up to my knees which is awesome! I need calf support as I am an avid walker and just for a work out log at least 5-9 miles a day (this is not including my daily miles walked for life in general).If you are on your feet often, try to wear a pair either while your at work etc or when you get home. You'll love how they just ease your muscle fatigue.If you are wanting to start running or walking, I strongly recommend these to be worn as you do your run/walk. At the end of my 9 miles my calves and feet are feeling like a million bucks! I actually find myself wanting to keep going.I gave a pair to a friend who does a lot of long road driving and other traveling to wear on his travels. He says they help out so much by preventing his legs from getting numb from just sitting so much.The quality of the material is top notch and you can feel how soft they are and you can tell these socks will last a long time. For any of my compression stuff I like to hand wash them. If I had a long day of wearing them doing trail runs or just a long walk or a long day of work, I immediately wash them out as soon as I can as the natural salts in your sweat can damage compression gear. I then hang em to dry. Lots of companies say you can machine wash and dry, but I'm just in the habit already, it doesn't matter much to me to skip out on the machine wash.Bottom line: these are great and actually do have compression to them and are over all just awesome.I know I sound like I was paid to say all of this but I was not. I am just overly excited to finally have found a pair of compression socks that are exactly what the manufacturer says they are and live up to the Amazon reviews (which we all know like 90% of the reviews are horrible and totally not helpful at all)Hope my review helps you out!

CompressionZ StockingsIf you are in the market for some effective leg support, CompressionZ socks are worth a second look-feel. Whether as a nurse and on my feet for 15 or more fast-paced hours a day, sitting in front of the computer ad nauseam, or simply because of circulation changes that happen with aging, I have come to find compression stockings an indispensable asset to my wardrobe. Not only do they help with circulation, but swelling is lessened and my legs actually feel more energetic while wearing them.Over the years, I have tried support hose and stockings of many types, whether by prescription, or otherwise. Compression stocking technology has come a long way and CompressionZ Socks are now my official go-to brand. The fabric is soft and has a smooth stretch, making them easier to don, whether in reverse (inside out) or in standard fashion. The 20-30 mmHg of graduated support is just enough to get me through the day. I have found that those socks made in a solid color seem to fit this description perfectly. Though the funky print styles really caught my attention, I have found that they are not as soft and pliable, they are shorter in length and shrink further still with laundering. Overall, at about 20, or so, dollars per pair, CompressionZ Socks are both a bargain and are solidly made, so I know they will last me a good, long while. I strongly recommend these socks, whether you are an athlete, for medical purposes or if you are a busy “sole” like me!

I've had these socks for only a week, so I can't comment about their durability. In all other respects -- fit, comfort, softness, ease of putting them on and taking them off, gradation of pressure -- they are almost excellent. They do a great job at reducing the edema in my legs. They almost deserve five stars. But I can't give five stars because there is one flaw, and it's a big one. The toe box is too small and too tapered. It puts pressure on my toes from side to side, squishing them together, and also from front to back, as if the sock is trying to push my toes toward my heels. The toe box should be about a centimeter longer and cut wider across at the front of the foot, so that looking down on it from above, it looks more square. In other words, it should give the toes more room to spread out and leave them free from pressure on both the sides and the front. Pressure on the toes serves no beneficial purpose and in fact is probably detrimental since it holds them in an unnatural position, as if the socks are trying to make my feet deformed. The manufacturer may think, "Everybody has different size toes, and we can't cut our socks so they are perfect for everybody." However the toe box is the one part of a compression sock where there is no downside to making it larger. I wish I could give five stars but I can't. Fix this one flaw -- the size of the toe box -- and I'll give six stars. My shoe size is US 12 (mens) and I bought large socks.

Excellent compression throughout a long 12h shift. As tight as they are, they're still comfortable at the top, no cutting into your skin. In some other reviews the mentioned that they are too tight making them hard to get on and off. You definitely have to put them on the right way as with any compression sock, but I'm 8 months pregnant currently and am still able to get them on and off myself not very gracefully of course, but still. If if don't wear compression socks, my feet/legs start to swell at this point after being on my feet for only and hour or two, but with these socks I have zero swelling after being on my feet for 12+ hours as a nurse. I love the fun colors and they material is nice too. I have some other nursing brand compression socks that are almost like thick nylons and my feet just feel sweaty all day which I HATE. These don't really cause that for me. I bought a couple different brands on Amazon after becoming pregnant and these are my favorite. I bought a small with my shoe size being a 6 and they fit nice a snug including in the toe area. with other brands I always have to pull them up higher than they are supposed to go in order for there not to be extra fabric at the toe end of the sock. Not with these though!

My husband loves these socks they provide the right amount of compression for his condition.

Comfortable great socks!

These are superb. Foot length and leg length just right. Lovely and comfortable to wear. Love the funky colours. Will order more of the same.

Sehr gute Kompressionswirkung. Hübsches Design. Auch nach vielen Kilometern (Marathontraining) und nach mehrmaligem Waschen keine Abnutzungserscheinungen. Die Strümpfe halten die Kompression auch nach mehrstündigem Tragen (bei preiswerteren Modellen ist das teilweise nicht der Fall. Die Nähte sind flach, nichts schneidet ein. Das Bündchen trägt sich angenehm.

Excellent product. Fixed e the job
