SocksLane Cotton Compression Socks for Women & Men. 15-20 mmHg Support Knee-High

I have been wearing compression stockings for over 15 years. I have bought them all - from expensive medical grade to $5 OTC get what you get. I've tried the zip up kind, men's sizes, and got just plain tired of playing tug-of-war with them to get them on. They all have their benefits, but because of my large calves, not one of them has ever been comfortable. In fact, I have feared that they may be cutting off instead of promoting blood flow.These stockings are the most comfortable that I have ever worn. I even showed them to my vascular surgeon just yesterday and she was also impressed. They are priced fairly and seem to hold up well after washing. After just a couple of months of wearing them, I have decided to toss the dozens of ill fitting socks cluttering up my drawer and replace them with these.

I have no idea how many different brands of compression socks I have bought in the past year trying to find the ones that are going to work best for me. This pair I bought from Socks Lane was actually pretty comfortable and not as tight in the toes as many compression socks I have previously bought. They are somewhat padded along the sole which feels good and is ok for cooler weather but I think is going to be too hot for summer. Like other buyers have mentioned, they are kinda tight at the top and made me a little sore at the back of the knees. Though I do like them pretty well, the fact that there are only 3 colors is also somewhat of an issue for me. I hope they come out with more colors soon. Lack of variety is going to keep me from buying too many since who wants to wear the same 3 colors over and over? Also, since there are many customers who are saying that they are too tight at the top, I hope SocksLane is paying attention and will make some for wider calves as well.

I am pleased to say I love these socks. I did not know if they would fit. I have a high instep and need a wide toe box. I had never worn compression socks before, and to my surprise they are very comfortable.No more swollen ankles when I take the socks off after standing at the stove or going to my grandsons ball games. Shopping is more enjoyable and the vein below my shin doesn't stick out. The nightly leg cramps have pretty much gone away. I do wish the toes were a little wider. I wear a 91/2-10 shoe mostly wide width. and because of this I give 4 stars instead of 5. I machine wash them in cold water with my other clothes but am afraid they might shrink if I dry them. So I hang them up to dry. I love they are cotton. My feet stay warm and cozy but don't sweat or smell. The cotton allows your feet to breathe. Otherwise these socks are amazing and I am going to order more on payday. I love the colors too!

I recently took a long flight from Boston to Portland Oregon and my feet tend to swell on these flights! I had tried other compression socks but had limited success but I put these on and they were so comfortable! I was able to be comfortable on my flight without my feet swelling. They were so comfortable that I forgot I was wearing them! I loved theses compression socks

Great compression socks that look like normal knee high socks. These are the best.I normally wear high compression knee high stockings 30-40mmhg, and even though the ones I have are black, they still look like support stockings. Not very good for a date, right?!!!These cotton knee high compression socks are perfect. While they are lower in compression (15-20) than my support hose, it is still enough for me for a whole day/evening. The stockings are soft and comfortable and look just like regular socks!I bought another brand of "cotton" knee highs and they looked like some type of medical appliance! Horrible. :(These compression socks look normal, feel great, and are relatively easy to get on and off with no special gadgets. So, I have bought 5 more pairs!For someone who does not normally need really high compression like I do, these will be all you ever need!Can you tell I am happy? :) I am. Thank you!!!

I love the feel of the socks. I've had other compression socks before but these are the softest ones. Made well, don't tear when I pull them up. If you wear them you know how difficult pulling them on can be. This is the only company I have purchased from that had instructions on how to put them on. Very useful. The length was perfect. I have short legs and have had to tuck other compression socks under my toes because they were too long. The ones I purchased are too tight below the knee. The compression might be too much for me. I'm learning about the different ratings. Good product and service.

I bought the correct size according to their chart. I finally managed to get them on. (Taking them off is another whole project!) My purpose was to see if I could get through an entire day working while wearing these socks. They felt pretty good in the beginning of the day, but within 2 hours the top started rolling down. It would roll down to about mid calf and cut off the circulation. After pulling them up repeatedly throughout the day I was unhappy with the way they fit. I looked at the shipping information to see who to contact in case I had a question. The toe to heel fit was perfect so it didn't seem that a larger pair would fit any better. I wrote to their "customer care" department and received back a not saying they had received my email and would respond shortly. It's been five days and I've heard nothing. I'm sending these back! I thought for the amount of money I was spending on one pair, I'd get my money's worth. I'm very dissatisfied with their lack of customer service and the lack of good fit. Very uncomfortable!!! Don't buy these!

Wanted these to improve circulation in legs. They go on with a bit of a struggle but are very comfy when on, except for the tightness of the band at the top. These leave a deep ridge and I am not sure that there is not more risk from constriction there. I am not sure whether to wear them or not. The jury is out.!

I ordered these cotton compression socks to avoid the usual lycra and nylon products as my skin is extremely sensitive to lycra. They were fairly easy to put on and gave excellent support and comfort for my first long haul flight.Worn solidly throughout the trip for over 30 hours each way (UK to NZ via Singapore a maximum of 24 hours flight each time) I was impressed that my legs, ankles and feet were not swollen at all as with varicose veins I am prone to swelling and aching in prolonged sedentary situations.I highly recommend these compression socks and will definately purchase again in the future if these quality sturdy socks ever wear out!

I'm a shoe size 7 1/2 with a muscly calf, 5f7". I ordered M/L, it is a perfect fit. The material is lovely and wicks away moisture, I wear these 8 hours standing at work and go for long walks, my legs are not aching any more. The cotton content means that they are soft and the padding under the foot is lovely. The fibres are 65 % natural and wear like any normal sock of the same materials.Washes and dries well, I ordered a second pair within a week, they are fantastic. Design is nice, too. Not in your face but a little fashionable touch.

These are the best socks for work wear. Comfortable and easier to get on and, more importantly, off than several other types I’ve tried. . My only criticism is that, as someone who wears these to walk around constantly for 10 hours at a time (apart from food break), they wear through the toe. As they are at the pricier end, it would be nice if the toe could be thicker. ( I don’t have long toes or toe nails btw).

Lovely soft cotton feel, not bulky fabric, the different coloured stopped stripes give the socks a fun look. Comfy, and the cat likes them too!
