Compression Socks 20-30mmHg for Women & Men - Graduated Knee High Stockings Best for Running

I received these compression socks last week and have used them twice for working out. I do Camp Gladiator which is a boot-camp, circuit style workout. I have been having some trouble with my knees and ankles from the quick turning movements. I thought these could provide some ankle support and increased circulation in my legs.I am very happy with the quality of the socks. The fabric is thick and supportive while still being breathable. I wore them for workouts in the Texas heat and my legs didn't get feeling hot and sweaty. The sock section around the ankle is very supportive (it almost felt like I was wearing a very lightweight ankle brace/wrap). I think it did help my ankle during my workout so I plan to keep using them.I was a bit unsure on which size to choose because my shoe size is a women's 6, but my calf measures 14" in diameter. According to the size chart, I could wear the S/M, but my calf size is at the top of the range. I don't like things to be super tight, so I elected to get the L/XL to accommodate my larger calf muscle. I am glad I went with the larger size. Even the L/XL socks are very tight on my leg. The foot portion is a little big on me, but it still works.The only thing I will mention is that the socks leave quite an impression on your legs (literally). This would be pretty normal with compression socks, but because of the design on the sock, you end up with the designs imprinted on your legs. So you may end up with little hearts or pokadots on your skin for awhile after they are removed.Overall, I am a fan of these socks. I like that they are cute, comfortable, and supportive. I think my hsuband my buy a set of them for working out as well.

I love these socks! They are great quality and very comfortable. These are the most stylish compression socks I’ve ever seen. I recommend these to anyone who stands for long periods of time. They provide the right amount of support and still feel wonderful to wear.

This is a good quality product and has good compression. The only problem is that the socks are about an inch to long for me. It's not good to fold over compression socks, so I'm afraid I'll be returning them. I think I have a pretty normal leg length, so others might have this problem also. Probably fits men better. It's worth the try of buying though, since they seem to be good quality and probably will last a while. On a side note, if this if your first time buying compression socks, I'd recommend googling it, because incorrect use can actually be harmful. Don't let that scare you, just make sure to put them on correctly.

I have health issues that cause my legs and feet to swell when sitting or standing to long without elevating them throughout the day.These socks are easy to put on and the compression does not feel really tight(wish they were tighter). But they still did a pretty good job at controlling my swelling. I love the material of the socks nice and breathable. The toes are pretty thick so that the toe does not bust through and the heel is cushy. I will definetly be buying more in different designs

I have had severe swelling as a nurses aide always on my feet. Dr and specialist cannot figure out why I swell as much as I do. I have very large calves being a prior dancer in my younger years. I have had many compression socks. These are the only ones that fit perfect !!! And keep my ankles looking like real ankles. I love them. I have told all my conworkers about them. And for the price !! Love them more!!

First of all, I'm a big guy. I'm a bit overweight, but mainly just big. The guys at my office call me "Bluto" since I look a lot like the character from Popeye. So, I'm big, have a thick dark beard, and I'm often described as being "manly". I have 19" calves and have had some issues with my ankles swelling as I've gotten older. I've tried compression socks in the past to see if they'd work for me, but I found them to be too tight and uncomfortable, and thus decided they weren't for me years ago. Besides, no one wants to see Bluto in kneehigh stockings.Well, I ended up having to have spinal surgery about two weeks ago and haven't been able to walk or stand much, so my ankles and calves began hurting by the second day of my limited mobility. My mother told me about the YOLIX brand of compression socks and basically begged me to order a pack so I wouldn't risk the possibility of developing a clot in my legs during my recovery. I told her how uncomfortable compression socks were and that they looked like the kneehigh stockings of yesteryear. I was already in pain and didn't need to further damage my manly reputation and dignity by lounging around in ugly stockings pretending to socks.Long story short, I was browbeaten into submission and reluctantly ordered a three-pack that looked as manly as was possible. Once they came in, I had to endure the embarrassment of my teenage son struggling to force these fabric sausage casing only my swollen legs. This is when something amazing happened. Once he got the first sock over my calf and all the wrinkles stretched and and smooth, it suddenly felt awesome and my calf instantly felt like I was receiving a massage. After having both socks on for about an hour, the swelling in my calves and ankles had noticeably improved.This was all about a week ago and I've been wearing these amazing socks every single day since then (not the same pair of course, I'm manly, not nasty). My legs feel so much better and I now swear by these socks. They feel so good, I don't really care what they look like. As far as looks go, I have to admit that they aren't as bad as I originally thought. I haven't worn long socks since the mid-80's, but since these feel so great, I don't care if they look a bit odd with the work-out shorts and slippers look I've been rocking during my recovery.I will absolutely be ordering more pairs of these YOLIX compression socks and will recommend them to anyone, regardless of their manliness level. These are awesome and I regret not discovering them sooner!

I love these! They’re very comfortable and my legs/feet feel so much better wearing them. I can tell a difference when wearing these instead of regular socks. They are very effective in promoting circulation which makes a huge difference when standing or walking for long periods. Good circulation makes a difference for daily life in general so I think these socks are wonderful for everyone, not just runners and athletes.
