Doctor's Select® Plus Size Compression Socks for Women Wide Calf - 3 Pairs

This was my 2nd purchase from this company. I liked the first set of socks so much I came back for more. I recommend sizing up with these. While the compression is important, you still don't want to have to struggle to get them on or up to your knees. I wear a size 10 W shoe, and my calves can go anywhere from 19 inches to 21.5 inches, depending on the day. I bought my first set a size smaller (4x) and sized up for this set (5X), and find I get more length with the larger size. Both sizes go over my calf area with ease, and still have a firm compression, but with the smaller size, 4X, I found them resting just under my knee, and tugging didn't give me that extra inch I wanted. That's the main reason I sized up this time to a 5X. Also with the 5X I am noticing more toe room. In either size, I've had no issues with them rolling or slipping down. The quality of the textiles is great. There is no pilling, and I have washed and worn them several times. I do not toss them in the dryer, preferring to hang dry. I find this works best with anything made with some elastics, so it's common for me to hang dry a lot of my garments. I opted for basic colors simply because I prefer solids to patterns, and I like my fashion to match. The first set I bought was the blue, black, and gray, and the 2nd set is all black. They are all similar in thickness and stretch. They all have gray colored heel and toe reinforcements, so they are not entirely one color. I've seen ads on social media prompting people to purchase other brands with 'buy one, get two free' enticements, but with them you need to spend more, and also pay shipping. So these are an excellent value for the money, and are less than the others, which allows you to purchase another item to meet your Amazon free shipping quota. For example I bought a couple of tins of herbal teas to get to the desired amount, so now I can wear my new compression socks and enjoy a cup of designer tea while I type up this review. Pretty sweet. They arrived within a few days, and are very much worth buying. I have absolutely noticed a difference in the comfort and size of my legs and the medical benefit of wearing compression socks, especially since I do a lot of desk-work. The pain associated with lymphedema can be debilitating, but these socks are helping with that as well. I feel the 'hug' ...almost like a massage. It's nicer. And quite frankly, since my legs have always been 'plus sized', even as a youngster I was never able to wear knee-socks, so I am enjoying that experience as well. Try these.

I am medically classified as morbidly obese, and I have tried soooooo many different brands of "plus-size" compression socks over the years. I have hard time putting on/tying sneakers and bending to do so is quite a struggle. Some were impossible to get on, others bunched up around my ankles and at the bend of my foot, and some were so tight around my calves that they left deep marks and were uncomfortable to wear. Thank the Lord for these socks! I was honestly skeptical when I ordered them and fully expected to return them. To my surprise, they went on without any struggle. I didn't have to roll them first or fight to get them over my feet and calves. A few minor adjustments were needed after putting them on, but nothing unusual. Best of all, my feet, toes, ankles, and calves felt comfortable all day. No painful squeezing, no bunching, and no deep marks on my legs. These are the first compression socks I've found that truly fit my wide calves and larger legs while still providing effective compression. Another huge plus is the price. So many plus-size compression socks are expensive, especially when they don't fit properly. These are very reasonably priced and provide excellent value for the money. It's refreshing to find a product that works well without costing a fortune. I will definitely be purchasing more, including some of the fun and whimsical patterns. Highly recommended! 5+++++ stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Wow! These are really comfortable to wear during the day. I even wore them longer than I should because they felt so comfortable. They felt light and cool on my very swollen left leg. After the first day, I noticed the swelling went down a lot. I measured my left swollen calf at 21 inches, so I wet up to a 23 inches on the chart which was a 4X extra wide so there is no binding and no cutting off of circulation. Since I got the larger size, the toe section runs bigger, which I like, which makes it easier to slip on your foot. I was then able to glide the compression sock all the way up my leg, even with a bad back. I got the black color since I wear mainly black slacks.

These socks are not easy to put on. The toe area is very wide with excess material and they are very long. I have to fold over the top. They are well made and the compression is perfect. I wear them for at least 12 hours per day. A few tweaks in the toe area and length would make them perfect. I'm 5'3" 132lbs. My calf is swollen from edema and these fit fine without choking it.

They fit. They are very stretchy and easy to pull on. They are very smooth feeling when walking on hard floors, and a little slippery...not a thick sock cushiony feeling at all. Once on they are the thickness of a man's dress sock....so should fit inside any shoes easy. The socks have a good compression feeling even though they are thin and stretchy. The size i ordered the majority of the compression feeling is between the ankles and knees, the feet feel less compressed than a sporty ankle sock (could be my feet would need a size smaller for more compression there since my feet are on the smaller size of the average sock size range; but my calves would be pinched possibly in a smaller size) so the feet being slightly compressed is ok for me since I got these mainly for my lower legs. Compression stays constant even after over a day of wearing nonstop (i did fall asleep with them on one night to see if my legs would feel better after a whole night wearing them too....and yep they did). So they didn't become loose or lose their compression strength over the course of wearing for a day or more. The top edge near the knee is stretchy enough it never digs into my skin there and so it never becomes uncomfortable to wear. In all, these are great and I will probably buy more in the future...especially if they get/have more colors n designs/themes/seasonal.

I have tried about 5-6 different brands of compression socks and these by far are my favorites. Putting your compression socks on is challenging to say the least. Most of the socks I have tried have either been too long, too short, compress in the wrong spots, or slip down by the end of the day. I have even tried to glue them on with fabric glue to get them to stay in the right spot. Normally when I take them off at the end of the day I feel like they have been cramping my toes and ankles and I finally get to wriggle my toes around. The thing that I love about these is that the toe is just a tiny bit looser than the rest of the sock (at least the way they fit me) so my toes don't get cramped up all day. The way they fit me is loose in the toe, tight on the rest of my foot, tight in the ankle and tight on the calf but not so tight that my circulation gets cut off. If you buy them I hope you are as happy as I am with them.

Bought pkg of 3 one pair sock eases its way down dosent stay up like should other 2 pair in pkg are great , just the right fit not that hss as rd to get on, hadbprviously bought 20-30 compression socks way yo tight near knee couldn’t wear was happy to find these good for plus size women

Great wide calf compression socks. Bought 3X based on calf measurments. Very easy to put on, comfortable all day. Great value for price, especially for wide calfs. Wash in lingerie bag in washer, cold water, color cycle, then hang to dry, NO DRYER. Purchased April 2026, weekly wear & still great socks! I've purchased Mediven, Sygvaris, Mojo, Wellow & Tekubig in past & Doctor's Select are best value (size & price) for me.

the only socks that fit my calfs ordered 6xl,reordered a second box and was able to order 5xl they fit,easy to put on and are comfortable highly recommend ,ordered a 3 box,was able to order 4xl,tighter,still easy on/off,fits great

Excellent product especially for plus size people

Buenos y amplios, mi chamorro y tamaño es un poco mas grande del promedio y siempre sufro con eso la verdad es que funcionan muy bien y me quedaron perfecto no lastiman sufro de varices

Item not true to size. Ordered a size 4XL which was more like a size XL. Should give customers the measurements of feet size, calve size, knee size and ankle size.

Me las recetó el Dr, Angiologo, después de una cirugía. Muy cómodas. Llegaron muy rápido antes de lo fijado. Empaque original. Talla XL.
