Vitalsox unisex Compression Socks

I had recent back surgery and was getting ready to fly overseas. My doctor suggested I wear compression socks on the plane and purchased these. They work great, with just the right amount of compression. They are relatively easy to put on and take off and kept my legs from aching and swelling. I would recommend these to anyone looking for compression socks.

As a volleyball referee, there are days where I stand in one place for over 10 hours. The foot and leg pain that I would feel at the end of a long day was unbearable until I discovered these socks.

First, congratulations on going for a long sock instead of buying those dorky calf sleeves! Sure, your friends may rib you about your new knee-highs and ask if they came with a plaid skirt, but anything is better than calf sleeves--those are in league with those humiliating lampshade collars they make dogs wear to keep them from chewing themselves. Friends don't let friends wear calf sleeves!Here's the skinny:--Good compression all the way through. I don't know the Hg rating but they give consistent support from toe to calf.--Comfortable material and construction. No stitches in a place where they'll rub.--Unlike most of its competitors, doesn't have a specific Right and Left sock. I don't mind that.--I bought them for 10-mile training runs and they definitely make a difference for my ankles which are my weak spot. Redheads are my weak spot too but it's soon to tell if they will help me with those.--Buy by the foot size, not the calf size. I wear an 11.5 men's shoe but have skinny legs and these large size socks fit comfortably. The material stretches so this size probably would be comfortable for people in the men's size 10-13 range and any circumference of calf.--These run all the way up to the knee unless you have really long legs--and even then they'll cover your calves. Unless you are nine feet tall. In that case you are a Sasquatch and probably don't need socks.--The blue and green pattern is cool.--I will probably be buying another pair.--I'd give them five stars but I don't like spending more than $10 for a pair of socks. I'm just old fashioned that way (i.e., I'm a cheap SOB). But certainly a quality option to the expensive CEP brand that the running stores push.

I am a repeat buyer of these Vitalsox Italy, VT1211 Patented Graduated Compression Socks. If you have any thoughts of looking for a quality made and good pricing compared to many others being offered these compression socks should be under your considerations. I have Peripheral Neuropathy in both legs and feet (and hands). Doctor recommended that I get compression socks to control the edema (swelling) in the lower legs and feet. I tried several brands and these socks were perfect for controlling my ongoing health issues. Good compression socks will have some difficulty to put on and these are no different. But once in place I noticed a difference in my condition over time. I have now maybe have purchased over a dozen of these compression socks over the past three years and my new ones look and feel just like the ones I purchased several years back. Good quality and long lasting with a good price point - it's a win across the board!

Instant relief! I have had problems with my left foot swelling for many years; In May, after our international 12-hour flight, I could not sleep at night due to the heaviness and pain of the swelling in both legs! Then after a very long hike the following week, I had swelling and some vessels coming to the surface of the skin in both legs! The doctor recommended compression socks. I have tried basic ones, which usually expose the feet, and these have not worked for me at all in the past, so I decided to try the Vitalsox [based on their description of how they are made and perform]. I wore them all evening....the next morning I could see the bones in my feet again [which I have not seen in years!]. So I have been using them when I am on my feet for extended periods during the day, and just used them during an international 10-hour flight. Perfect! After the flight, my knees were slightly swollen, but that went down soon after I removed the socks. My legs felt great! No heaviness; No blood vessels surfacing; no swelling! LOVE these socks!

I had ankle fusion surgery and my ankle swells a lot by the end of the day. Also, the surgery makes my walking tentative, which means I don't feel 100% secure with my movements. These socks give me confidence when walking. Another issue is my calves swell at the tops of my socks. These compression socks help keep the calf swelling issue in check. I have had mine for over a year and they are still in good shape. Putting them on is not an issue if you do it correctly. Finally, I think they make me look older, and I am 62, so I mix up the colors for each leg, now it's a fashion statement:)

I am a male senior citizen and recently I was told by my doctor that I needed to start wearing compression support socks/stockings. I knew nothing about them as far as quality and fit so I decided to do my own tests on different brands. The test included price, value, fit, and quality. I purchased 10 different pair of support socks/stockings. In my test VITALSOX was the best fitting, the best quality, and the best value of all the socks tested. I will not name the other brands in this review but most were purchased from Amazon. Some were very good but they could not match VITALSOX. VITALSOX was the most comfortable of all of the socks tested.

These fit exactly as advertised. Socks stay in place and do not fall down.

I love these socks - I usually wear them after a workout or a long run, and they've done wonders for my lower legs, especially where I used to have pain when I stayed in one position for too long, even after stretching post-exercise.They're not too difficult to get on, unlike another pair I have, and I find them very comfortable. and the colour is nice :)

Excellent
