IMPRESA Wide Calf Socks - Super Stretch Fit for Lymphedema & Hospital Socks - Skid-Resistant Comfort for Extra Wide Fit - Unisex Design for Cast Cover - Pack of 2, Black

Due to an accident, I had six titanium pins inserted into the bones of my left foot. Afterwards, I was fitted with a walking cast. I thought things would be okay once the cast came off, but such was not the case. My foot, ankle, and lower leg, up to the calf, still swell if I sit or stand for long periods of time, and my surgeon told me they would swell for some time to come. Bummer. I tried compression socks, many brands, but I couldn't begin to get them on. I don't know how anyone does. They seemed like dolls' socks to me. So, when I ran across these socks, I decided to give them a try. I have no bariatric problems, just the swelling from surgery. I really got tired of having to lie down and put my feet up during the day. I would take the opportunity to try to get some reading done, but would always fall asleep instead. So, time wasted. Sometimes, the swelling didn't even go down. These socks pretty much fixed the problem. I've been sitting for hours now, have only gotten up and walked around a few times, and I have only very minimal swelling in my foot. Unlike compression socks, these socks were so easy to get on. They just glide right on. Whereas I struggled with compression socks for an hour or more, and then couldn't get them on, these socks were on in about thirty seconds. They feel wonderful, too. They're fairly warm, with no seams to bind and hurt. And the non-slip bottoms are great. My only complaint is that they seem slightly too big! I would like a sock that is just a little smaller in fit because I'm a very petite person. (After my nightmare with compression socks, I can hardly believe I'm wishing for anything smaller.) Knee socks would also be comfortable for under slacks during cooler weather. (Yes, winter gets quite cool even in Southern California.) I will keep these socks, though, and I will definitely use them. They are comfy and warm, and as soon as my left foot is healed, I have to have the same surgery performed on my right foot. So, I'll be getting a lot of use out of them. I think I'll even be able to get these over the walking cast, if need be. After the accident and the trauma of the surgery, the circulation in my feet and ankles hasn't been the best. These socks seem to help with that problem as well. My feet feel warm, not cold. I needed something to help with circulation until I can get back to my afternoon walks and hikes and my bike riding, hopefully next year. Don't think your feet, ankles, or legs are too swollen to get these on. They aren't. These socks are very stretchy, and yet, somehow, they stay up. As I said, I've been wearing them for hours, and I haven't had to pull them up once. And, you can throw them in the washer and dryer. They do not shrink. All-in-all, I'm very happy with these socks. I recommend them highly.

Finally! Socks that fit my poor husband's severely swollen feet caused by his lymphedema. Weave is very stretchy and the size is true to what is stated. Non-slip soles are a welcome bonus so he doesn't need to wear shoes which are uncomfortable. Highly recommended!

Better then hospital one

Bought these 2 times for my mom w its neuropathy. They give her stability while giving her the loose feel that doesn’t hurt her feet. Wash well…. Only wish they came in colors other than black.

This sock is very loose with absolutely no constriction at all. The grips on the bottom are very adequate to prevent slips and falls and the sock is stretchy without being binding. They do tend to run on the large size, but definitely help with lymphedema.

These socks are perfect for use over lymphodema wraps. They go on easily, stay up fine. The grippers on the bottom are just what is needed to prevent slipping, as the boot part of wraps slide dangerously on floors. These socks are equally awesome to wear over swollen feet when not wearing wraps. They are comfortable and durable, and do not bind, as many other socks have done. They wash and dry with no problems. Before discovering these socks I would have to cut the tops of regular socks to try making them comfortable, but that was never a satisfactory solution. I highly recommend this product not only for lymphodema use, but for anyone needing a comfortable sock to go over large legs for any reason. They are truly non binding, while easily stretching to conform to both feet and legs.

Nice socks when brand new. Doesnt take too long for them to begin unraveling at the top. I cut the loose threads with sissors after washing. Also the white texture on the bottoms wear off with time, but they do help with traction on non-carpeted flooring.

I have edema in my legs, this sock is wide and very comfortable to wear over the bandages. Safe to get around the house with the no slip grips. I use them over and over and they launder great. I've bought these quite a few times and highly recommend them.

I dont recomend to buy .. bad quality ,strings comming out and it is so wide it has no shape .. the stiching at the toes are from the outside and visible .

Son cómodos y aguantan uso de diario y rudo, manteniendo su calidad. También sirven para dormir en el invierno cuando las calcetas no son suficientes para calentar los pies.

Loose enough around my ankles. Reasonably non slip.

Absolutely amazing - my husband has severe water retention and these are amazingly stretchy and not even tight on his foot once on - so comfy too - will be purchased another set of 2 in a fortnight

My mothers calf and foot swells like crazy. These socks are not only comfortable, they have a decent grip too.
