Jane: I am a nurse and these socks help me a lot in my long hours shift.

C. Shrake: My calf size increased over the past few years, so I sized up on compression socks as a result. They were much easier to get on then my last pair as a result. I'm about a size 8 in women's shoes. These socks provide plenty of wiggle room for my toes. For some reason when I took these out of the package I thought they all would be black in color. Upon going back to the product page I noticed that some were indeed grey. Not a big deal for me honestly, but may be to others. Part of my job can sometime entail putting these socks and stockings on patients and the elasticity seems far looser on these. I'm hoping it improves with washing. So far overall no complaints.

You Can Call Me "Books": I was skeptical. I have wasted money on socks, braces, straps and special shoes before. I bought these because I WAS SUFFERING IN EXTREME PAIN. I am a retired teacher of 30yrs back working on my feet for 10hrs a shift in the Restaurant Industry now. I NEEDED RELIEF but on A BUDGET. I don't have medical insurance or a regular doctor. ANYWAY.... I LOVE THESE SOCKS!!!!!!!! Why?

These socks:
*Are soft, warm, thick, stretchy, durable- made with QUALITY threading that you can see and feel
*They do not make your feet feel smothered and sweaty- they breathe
*The length is perfect for me. They go up just under my KNEE and they DO NOT roll down
*They are stylish, cool and fashionable- able to be worn under pants or exposed under skirt/dress/shorts
*THE DESIGN WORKS-THEY COMPRESS & SECURE MY WEAK ANKLES, SUPPORT MY ARCHES and SOOTHE MY TENDONITIS PAINS

In fact, THEY WORKED SO WELL that I opted not to wear my ankle straps that I usually wear over my socked/stocking feet because the new socks FELT SO STRONG. I WORKED A DOUBLE SHIFT AND WALKED HOME FEELING LIKE AN INVINCIBLE GODDESS!!!!
Plus YOU GET SO MANY PAIRS, I almost cried with joy as I filled my sock...

kriska: These socks are quite comfortable and are the right height without having to be folded over at the top. As I am not very tall, I often find that high socks like this require a fold over at the top. These do not.
They do really well at keeping my lower legs comfortable. I am standing more than I'm sitting during my work day and these prevent my feet and lower legs from feeling tired. Even after a full day of work, I feel fine to do my nightly three mile walk one days when I wear these socks.
My only issue with them (the reason for four rather than five starts) is that they do not breath as well as I'd like. After a day of wearing them my feet are a bit more sweaty than I'd like. Still, they are comfortable and my feet are not at all tired, even after a ten hour day at work.

Ann Linder: The patterns drew me to these socks before I even realized they were compression socks, so pretty and unlike any socks I have. I started wearing them right away and they make my feel hurt less and my calves feel less tired. These socks do not cut off my circulation and I wear around a size 9 shoe so the L/XL is perfect for me.
**I ordered another set and I was sad when they came and were the wrong size BUT they are replacing them right away and I am excited to wear the right size when I get them. Super!!

BreanneBreanne: TLDR; socks are pretty good, but one sock has a messed up seam making it uncomfortable/impossible to wear.

I'll start with sizing. I fall right between the size ranges for these socks, so I ordered 2 sets of different sizes to see which one fit better. According to the size guide, my calf size is lg, my knee to heal length is sm, and my heal to toe length is the smallest end of lg. I felt the large was way too big for me. Super long and bulked up under my knee, and the foot was too long so the heal was closer to my ankle, and the compression didn't feal right. The small fits way better. Foot is near perfect, and they are not too tight for my calf, and there is no bulk of extra sock under my knee.

I feel as though these socks do their job. My feet were starting to swell and hurt, and after just about a week of wearing these socks my feet are back to normal and are feeling way better. These are comfortable to wear all day, stay in place, and are breathable.

I only gave 3 stars because of a couple issues I have with the socks. Most of the socks come right to the base of my knee, but some seem to be just a little bit shorter. Not by much, maybe a half inch. Not...

KS: I am a regular compression stocking wearer and was hoping these would be a good addition to my collection. While they are fun styles and most of them do a reasonable job of keeping the swelling of my legs under control they are are not all the same size and not all of them actually fit. Two of the pairs I recieved are too short and end about 2/3 of the way up my calves, and one other actually has sections that are not stretchy enough to be pulled up the legs at all. That being said the other three pairs are just fine and even if you divide the cost over three instead of six they are still cheaper than the medical supply store ones I usually get.

Lazy J: Not bad, not great. Didn't offer much compression. Used for running socks.

Rachel: So a few issues. I have size 7 very narrow feet although I’m nearly 6’ tall. These did not work well. First off, my second toe is longer than my great toe. These socks press so hard on my second toe that it becomes quite painful by the end of my work day. Second, these do not reach my knee. This may be that I am quite tall, so if you’re short this may not be an issue. They end near the top-ish part of my calf and there they dig in to my flesh about 1/2” leaving red painful welts. It isn’t that they’re too small. They fit at the heel exactly right, any bigger and the heel would be up my leg. My last gripe is that it’s summer and it’s hot and these just don’t breathe. Sweat collects in them creating an uncomfortable and smelly result. You peel these off at the end of the day like an old damp banana peel to no small relief. I wore them for a week and decided my swelling was less uncomfortable than the socks. Too bad, they’re really very nice looking.

Kelly Barrington: Context: I am a 42 year old woman in, what I consider, good health and physical condition. I have large calves and wear a size 9 shoe. I put in an average of 23000 steps at work walking/running during an 8 hour day, 5 days a week. The only time I sit is for a quick 15 min lunch, the rest of the time I am on my feet standing at a reception desk or walking/running to and from our play yards.

I find compression socks really help with energizing me and helping keep fatigue at bay.

I was looking for something more fun and comfortable than the boring blue nylon/polyester ones I've been wearing. After reading the rave reviews for these, I decided to give them a go. Sadly, these socks do not do much by way of compression. While they do stay up all day, they do not provide the compression I have become accustom to (might I add, I wear leggings which could be helping in keeping them in place)
They are fun knee socks, but I don't believe they can be considered 'compression'
Furthermore, the foot portion is just loose enough that my feet slide around in them causing painful pressure on my toes and blisters on the soles of my feet.

Pros:
Stay up all...
