Calves Kelson (2 Pairs) Compression Socks/Stockings for Men & Women,Speed Up Recovery Circulation, Best Graduated Athletic Fit for Travel, Running, Nurses,Shin Splints, Flight,Maternity

Yes, rare as they are from me, it's a full * * * * * review! And I can confidently award that because I ordered four brands of knee-length compression stockings from four different Sellers in the same order. These were not the least expensive or the most. But they were definitely the best when it came to expected fit, quality of finish, overall comfort and best effect. And at £9.99 for two pairs (inc. free shipping via Amazon), they also represent very good value.As a retired Charge Nurse, I recognise the importance of compression stockings fitting correctly. So I was a little hesitant in ordering online initially. People are usually measured and fitted for them by their GP's Practice Nurse. So I was extremely happy (and relieved) when these 'Calves Kelson' brand arrived from Amazon UK Seller 'PINSHUN'. I was additionally pleased that they arrived vacuum-sealed for hygiene reasons. I've machine-washed them since (on a 30 deg C normal wash with fabric conditioner), and they came out as good as new.It's so important to get the measurements right with compression stockings. Too loose and they provide no benefit at all. Too tight and you risk reducing blood circulation in your lower legs and feet. Thankfully, from a medical point of view, these socks from 'PINSHUN' fit exactly as described. The most important measurement by far for 99% of people with leg and foot circulation problems, is measuring the thickest part of your calf. Get that part right and you're sorted!A number of reviewers have stated that these socks fitted too tightly. Whilst I can appreciate they may think that I can almost guarantee that this is rarely if ever the case. Basically, if you DON'T have to struggle to get compression stockings on... they're simply too big! And trust me, I speak as a retired charge nurse in the NHS who was responsible for measuring and fitting patients for compression stockings on a daily basis! For an ideal fit, you really have to turn them almost inside-out, and just concentrate on getting the toes in to begin with. Then slowly try to roll them over the rest of the foot to the ankle. Then pull them tight again, and work the stocking up the leg, literally an inch at a time, straightening and pulling them tight as you do so. Compared with your normal pair of socks, they SHOULD feel extremely tight from top to bottom. Finally, if you've never worn compression stockings before, they WILL feel too tight once you stand up. But that's precisely how they're supposed to feel. Basically, their job is to literally compress, i.e. squeeze all your veins, arteries and muscles together, really tightly. They may feel odd for a day or two, but what you will also notice, is that any pain from your knees down, will begin to reduce immediately. Sometimes slightly and sometimes massively. I appreciate that this is only supposed to be a review of the product, but I feel sure the additional information will be helpful to some. Especially all those who are new to wearing compression stockings. Good health to you.

I decided to order new flight socks to replace previous ones as I’m going away soon and pretty sure my calves have gotten bigger. These look a great quality and are nice and long on me-up to my knees. They are a nice snug fit and I put them on as advised by another purchaser. I hope they serve the purpose intended. I have stents in my left Iliac vein as a result of my foot blowing up , abroad, quite a few years ago. My foot/ankle still looks fatter than my right ankle and whenever I fly, it can feel tight and looks puffed up. I learnt more from reviewers (thank you) than from the instruction's. Manufacturers don’t tell/advise on at what point you should put them on before flying OR when to remove them. I like to be well informed and sellers never give full advice which could lead to errors being made by having to assume.Having been abroad I can say that these are quite difficult to put on but I followed another reviewers advice. Once they are in place they are very comfortable to wear. I put them on before my flight and took them off an hour after landing. Remained very comfortable through the 4hr flight. I did find them harder to put on on the return flight as it was coming back from Turkey and I was very warm. (Easier on outbound flight from UK-not so warm.)I would recommend. Just be patient, give yourself time to put them on properly and they are great. Gather them up and get them on your foot properly and then ease them up your leg a bit at a time.

Worn in a long haul flight and definitely helped with leg swelling. Good compression. Came up a little long on me but folded and worked fine, not uncomfortable

Great product , legs dont ache as much and perfect for flying

For context I’m 4’10 and a uk size 4/6. I brought the s/m and was a bit apprehensive at first thinking they wouldn’t be tight enough - but they are perfect. They’re long on me, but I really would say they’re a perfect length - half way between the top of my thigh and knee.They’re such high quality for the price, very soft to touch and are a great fit of tight without cutting off circulation and leaving sores as others (including ones from the hospital) do. The fact that they’re actual socks and are not straight up looking like medical wear, I would say they’re pretty sylish. I could throw on a skirt and my Mary Jane’s and no one could tell the difference between these and actual socks.I would definitely reccomend to anyone to use these other competitors.

As someone who's tried their fair share of compression socks, I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised by the Calves Kelson pair. 🤔 While the product description sounded a bit too good to be true, I decided to give them a shot - and I'm so glad I did!From the moment I slipped them on, I could feel the graduated compression working its magic. 💥 The targeted support around my ankles and calves helped to immediately alleviate the achy, heavy feeling I often experience after a long day on my feet. And the breathable, moisture-wicking fabric kept my legs feeling cool and comfortable, even during my toughest workouts. 🏃‍♀️What really sets these socks apart, though, is the attention to detail. 👌 The seamless design prevents irritation, while the wider cuffs and ankle support provide an incredibly snug, secure fit. I also love the wide range of size options - I was able to find the perfect pair for my feet without any issues.While the initial "tight" feeling took some getting used to, I can honestly say that these compression socks have become an essential part of my daily routine. 🙌 Whether I'm traveling, exercising, or just lounging around, they provide the support and relief I need to feel my best.If you're on the fence about trying compression socks, I'd highly recommend giving the Calves Kelson pair a shot. 🧦 The quality and performance here are top-notch, and the value is unbeatable. 💰 Trust me, your legs will thank you!
