Physix Gear Compression Socks 20-30 mmHg - Men & Women - Running, Nurses, Shin Splints, Flight, Travel

Received these in a nice tidy box in perfect condition and very promptly from purchase date. The fabric of the socks themselves feels completely different to many of the normal socks and even to that of the couple of "compression" socks I have currently. On inspection you can see the weave of the fabric is extremely tight, giving it almost a smooth feeling until stretched, or put on. On putting on the sock it is very clear that the compression is weighted heavily at the ankle vs the top of the calf. For me this was a godsend as I have 37cm calves at their thickest point and yet these in medium fit very comfortably around the top, whilst giving a very firm amount of compression support throughout ankle foot and calf. The last but by no means least aspect of the socks I am very happy about is the breathability of the socks. On some cheap compression socks (Sports direct compression socks) I have found my feet get extremely hot. Progressively getting hotter and hotter throughout the run, not to mention uneven compression due to similar fabric throughout. The socks physix socks give very good ventilation and with enough compression to keep some warmth through your feet on slow segments. My only run in them so far has been in November, so we will have to see how they fair in summer. But I think they will cope very well. AS they do not focus on padding. The lack of cushioning may or may not be a problem for some, but I had trouble with overheating feet, and the thicker padding of socks I find can contribute to more heat. And personally extra warmth I can do something about, whereas further cooling leads to the socks never being used! I would definitely recommend these socks as a reasonable price point for a pair of very nicely made compression socks. TL;DR: Firm even compression socks with no extra padding and good ventilation.

As a frequent flyer for my job (sometimes 4 flights a week) I often spent my first day in the office and first day back at home with really painful feet due to a mix of plantar fibromatosis and swelling. Yesterday I wore these for the first time on a double flight and I cannot believe the difference. Firstly the socks are really comfortable. They come right up to the back of your knees so put them on before you put your jeans on! They are really snug and feel incredibly supportive. After 12 hours it was great to take them off but the relief of not having ankles that looked like muffin tops was heaven, and today I can walk without any pain at all. If you are someone who's feet always swell up on a flight you just have to get these socks. The quality is great and the results speak for themselves.

Originally I got the largest size for me so I could use these, unfortunately they didn’t fit on my feet ( size 13 ) so couldn’t use them. I gave them to my dad instead. My dad has varicose veins and hes been wearing them. He’s told me they are very good and one of the main reasons he wears them is that they are warm. ( probably because the socks helps his legs with blood circulation which results in warmer legs )

I have to say these for me are a godsend! I have been involved in fitness for 30 plus years and physically I'm at a great level of fitness. However the years have taken their toll and recovery times are longer (Aches) and injuries are more prone these days. I joined a running club in October and based on my race times I was placed in the 2nd fastest group, so my training ramped up pretty quickly (Shock!). Running hard 4 times a week is putting pressure on my calves causing tightness and one of my Achilles was screaming pain which really bugged me. I tried the 3/4 compression sleeves, but these did nothing, I think because they don't envelop the whole foot. The runners in the club recommended full length socks so I gave these a shot. I put them on for the day prior to my evening run and found them comfortable and not too tight. (As opposed to the sleeves) Then during my evening run I blasted out and waited for the pain to kick in (About 3 km) and waited, nothing! Fantastic. Allowed my to enjoy the run and produce some great results. When I got home I kept them on for about 30 mins and the following morning wore a fresh pair for the day. I cannot recommend these enough and will buy more pairs. Don't be off put by not being ultra tight as their guide says this may have negative results and I concur based on my sleeves. I can definitely say these have helped me pre-run and post run and have helped dissipate my calf tightness and Achilles pain. Considering I paid nealry £30 for my sleeves from a well know skinnn company I can't complain about the price either .

I've had swelling / water retention in my feet and ankles for over a month or two now and have been waiting on blood tests from my Doctor to determine if it's another health issue or my medication for said health issues or what.. but in the mean time I thought I'd give home treatments a try to see if it helps. These socks look nice with a hint of colour which is great, I didn't want 'medical' looking socks to point the issue out- and black is slimming so a good choice for an area you're having issues with swelling. They feel comfortable and high quality, and while I could feel the pressure at first I quickly got used to them after an hour or so. My only fitting issue was that even without the swelling, I have a chunky build and large calves- of which the top of both socks I felt something snap and had one or two loose threads. They didn't continue to unravel though, just one or two strands pulled out and they looked fine. I did however half to fold down the top half way through the day, because they were digging into the crease of my knee quite harshly. After just one day though, I've noticed results and the swelling has gone down a bit! Still need to continue wearing, but I can finally fit back into some of my shoes (I've only been fitting into slippers for a while now!). It's still a treatment rather than cure, but I'm very happy with the effect until my Doctors can get to the cause.

Quando faccio le lunghe camminate le gambe risultano appesantite, una certa difficoltà di ritorno venoso si inizia a sentire, anche sul lavoro sto molto in piedi. Avevo provato alcune calze a compressione ma spesso mi segnavano in alto, lasciandomi il dubbio che alla fine l'elastico fermasse la circolazione più che aiutarla. Quelle Decathlon per esempio hanno avuto questo difetto. Queste sono lunghe, la parte alta in realtà sarebbe finita oltre il ginocchio, quindi rimane un po' piegata, ma l'elastico morbido e consistente non mi ha segnata affatto, un effetto tipo calzettoni da calcio. Sono rimaste su perfettamente e non davano quel senso di compressione eccessiva che fa venire voglia di toglierle appena a casa. Gambe più leggere e piede non infuocato. Decisamente approvate. Per la durata ancora non so, ma ho fiducia.

Le ho acquistate più per curiosità, non avendo il tempo di documentarmi a livello di laurea specialistica su questo tipo di calze come molti, spesso, fanno. Piacevolmente sorpreso. Un po' difficili da indossare, forse serviva una misura più grande. Ottima qualità. Rapporto qualità/prezzo notevole. Ho sentito subito dei miglioramenti a livello muscolare (mai usato questo tipo di sistemi). E di tempi sul solito percorso. Vale la pena provarle. Consigliate.

Ich suchte eine Alternative zu medizinischen Kompressionsstrümpfen, die ohne Arztbesuch und Warterei den erwünschten Effekt erzielen. Da ich berufsbedingt viel Stehen bzw. Sitzen muss (leider eher einseitig), brauchte ich etwas um meine Beine vor schmerzhaften Schwellungen und starken Krampfadern zu schützen. Erster Eindruck: Elastisch genug, um die Strümpfe gut anziehen zu können, aber nicht so elastisch, dass diese "schlackern" oder mit der Zeit abrutschen. Die Strümpfe sind nicht so Dick/Stark wie medizinische (sollten Sie ja auch nicht sein), bieten aber einen guten Halt mit fast schon angenehmen Druck. Der Schaft geht so hoch, dass es direkt unter dem Knie bzw. in der Kniekehle aufhört, was ein Nachrutschen verhindert. Habe bisher auch keine großen "Einschnürungen" im Kniebereich beobachtet, die einen stören könnten. Insgesamt sind die Strümpfe angenehm zu tragen und erzielen abends den erwünschten Effekt: erheblich weniger Wasseransammlungen in den Beinen und weniger stark hervortretenden Krampfadern. Da bisher noch nicht gewaschen - bleibt abzuwarten, ob sich die Qualität dadurch ändert bzw. wie lange sich diese halten lässt. Fazit: Gute Alternative mit akzeptablem/fairen Preis. Würde diese Strümpfe wieder kaufen.

I've ordered these twice. The first set fit very well but the second set was a little larger and don't fit as well. Both were marked L/XL. Other than that no complaints. They wear very well and offer excellent support. I will buy again but will return if they don't fit as well as I feel they should. They are a very well made pair of compression stockings.
