Wanderlust Travel Compression Socks - Support Stockings

So, I work way too many desk hours, and, while I am endeavoring to take more frequent breaks, and even bought a little stepper machine to use in my office, research on health led me to compression socks. given that I've got a bit of neuropathy setting in, which is not good. I was pretty surprised at the prices, and, of course, it's hard to know if the "knock off" brands are any better than "branded" brands. Since I knew nothing of compression socks, it's been a hit and miss of trial and error.I wanted something white (not sure what's up with so many compression socks coming in wild color combos and designs?) and, starting out, I eventually found some great copper infused compression socks on here, by FuelMeFoot, that are 15-20mmHG which was a good beginning (and three pairs for ten bucks is awesome!). Then, hot weather hit, and it's very difficult to find a regular athletic or crew length sock to wear with shorts (wasn't really wanting to rock the lederhosen look, haha), but, finally found some from ADLU. Of course, a shorter compression sock doesn't do the same job, and I get that, but the ADLU are a nice balance of looking like "normal" socks plus providing some compression benefit and, at 15 dollars for two pairs, it's not that bad, since regular socks have gone up in price, yet seem to have gone down in quality at the same time.But, having gotten used to (and actually really liking) how compression socks feel, I wanted to notch up to a more therapeutic level of compression, that I could wear while sleeping, at least a few nights a week, so I started exploring brands of those type. Read the many great reviews for these, but, with seeing much less expensive options, I tried those first, just because 20 bucks a pair is steep.I ordered one of these, to compare, and, NO comparison, these are definitely the BEST of what I've found. The level of padding, and comfort, and excellence of fit is phenomenal. Extremely well made socks, and they just feel wonderful to wear. I know, kind of odd, socks that feel so great, but, seriously, these make my feet and legs very happy. I sleep great, and it seems my neuropathy is not getting any worse, and may even be starting to improve, so three cheers for compression socks, and a thousand cheers for these Wanderlust socks, the best of what I've found thus far, in a higher compression sock.They even sent a coupon for my next order, and I just ordered two more pairs. They are thicker than the FuelMeFoot ones, so I'm not sure they will work as well in my sneakers, but, as an around-the-house and sleep-at-night sock, these are awesome. If they don't make my shoes fit too tight, I will likely switch over to these when the weather warms up, and possibly wear these exclusively, since they offer more therapeutic effect.A terrific sock, and thanks to all the reviewers on here for sharing their findings. Wish I'd had these when I used to do overseas travel, but glad I've found them now!SUMMARY: Well made, perfect fit, plenty of padding, "normal" appearance, super comfortable, and, in a case of getting what one pays for, these are worth every penny. Highly recommend!

I thought I had already written a review, but apparently not. My feet always swell on even the shortest of flights. In Jan 2024, I knew I had to try something for a 20 hour (16 flight hours) trip. After reading reviews, I bought these amazing socks. I put them on at the airport before the first departure and took them off approx 24 hours later. WOW. no swelling at all. They felt tight putting on. Wasnt sure Id be able to last much time wearing them, but they were actually quite comfortable after the first 15 or so minutes. Return flight, we ran into major delays and flight cancelations. Ended up taking 5 flights over the course of 4 days. Wore these socks a lot during that time (thinking I was going to board). Again, upon arrival at home, my feet were perfect like I never even flew. I will never fly without them. Highly recommend.

These were comfortable on a 10 hour flight.

I am not an expert on hosiery by any means. I have some venous stasis in one of my feet and have been looking here and there for compression socks that will relieve this condition on and off for a while. I found these on Amazon and thought I would give them a try. Honestly the socks I don't think are going to do much for the venous stasis since they don't seem to have the compression in the foot and ankle where I need it. The socks are very comfortable and extremely well made and should last a long time. I will say that the company Wanderlust that sells the socks is very professional and they made an effort through several emails to make sure I received my order and when I got the socks an instructional pdf on how to get the most out of them. If I can find something with them that would best suit my needs I would not hesitate to buy from them again. A small company with a personal touch.

I run into problems with lower leg and ankle swelling when I travel by car or air. The socks they give you in the hospital are too tight to wear for more than a few hours. I needed something I could wear for at least 12 hours. So I saw these on Amazon and decided to try them. I wear a women's size 7.5, so I bought the ML size. I tried them all day yesterday and they really worked great for me! I took them off before bed. No swelling! They were comfortable to wear all day. They are a bit snug getting them on, but all compression socks are, so I won't fault them for that. Once you get them on, they are very comfortable. They are roomy and comfortable in the toe area and they are not too tight on the top, which comes just below my knee. All the compression is right where I need it, from my ankles up. I didn't spend a lot of time on my feet yesterday, but the walking I did do felt very good in these socks. I can see why people have said they do not have leg fatigue when they wear these all day. I am glad I bought 2 pair, as my traveling will require more than one day in a row. Also, I machine washed mine and then hung them over the line to dry instead of putting them in the dryer. I didn't want to risk them shrinking. My dryer runs very hot and it says to tumble dry low. I can't do that. So I would definitely say that if you have issues with lower leg swelling or tired legs from standing all day, these are socks you need to try! Very reasonably priced, as well, and the folks at Wanderlust have been very nice! I got these the day after I ordered them! Can't beat that!

Best compression socks!!!

I purchased these socks after reading reviews online and have found that they live up to the raves from other users. They are very cushy on the feet, and comfortable to wear. The price seems really competitive too. And these socks wash well in the machine and dryer. If you are used the kinds of travel socks you can get at the drugstore, you will find these a great improvement, I'm sure. For years I used the other kind, and they helped, but not the way the Wanderlust ones do. I use them for everyday wear as well as for air travel. I recommend them highly.

My parents loved, they felt so much better while traveling. Thank you

I have tried several different compression socks and these are by far the best. Easy to put on, great comfort and no special treatment to wash. My legs felt very good at the end of the day.
