SB SOX Lite Compression Socks for Men & Women (15-20mmHg) – Best Compression Socks for Travel, Sports, and Daily Wear - XXL Sizes too!

Have worn SB Sox since COVID 19. In the hospital, on my feet constantly, 12 hours shifts, great support and pressure relief. Thus far the lite version is just as impressive as the original SB Sox. There are other more expensive compression socks I’ve tried, this is the best bang for the buck, IMO.

My husband needs to wear these. He finds them more comfortable than any he has used before. They hold their compression ability through multiple washings.

Update (August 2018): I have the beginnings of varicose veins, and I wear these socks every few days. These compression socks are wearing well although fluff is forming where the embroidery says SB Sox on the feet of the socks. The elasticity is still almost as good as when the socks were purchased. Any time my legs feel tight, heavy, achy, or restless, I just put these socks on and within 10 minutes I'm feeling relief. I've found that if I wear these socks for a day, the effect seems to last for two following days before my legs start feeling tight and progressively heavy, achy, and restless again. I have worn these socks during the night when my legs were really restless and painful, and they felt perfectly fine in the morning. These socks have also greatly reduced the swelling in my legs and ankles, which was a shock to me because I hadn't realized they were swollen to begin with! I know it's not recommended that these socks be worn overnight, but I was desperate and it doesn't seem to have had any negative effects. It's also recommended that people with varicose veins should wear compression socks every day. It's just a hassle to put on. It takes me about three minutes to get the socks on. I think I will have to get myself into the routine though, as they really, REALLY help! I have since bought four more pairs of these socks, and I'm hoping to eventually buy enough for a fresh pair every day. I 100% recommend these socks. I know they're a bit pricey compared to other socks on the market, but they are VERY good. They work. They work for me and they're changing my life. Original Review (March 2018): I bought these compression socks in the S/M size. These socks have great compression without making my legs feel like the circulation is getting cut off. Only time will tell regarding whether they help my legs, but I have high hopes for these socks. I am of average weight for my height, so I cannot vouch for the fit for underweight or overweight individuals. The material and stitching are high quality, and feels slinky and slippery, which is nice as they allow pant legs to move freely around them. This slinky texture might be a problem when walking on tiles or vinyl, and I would recommend wearing sandals or shoes to prevent slipping. The colours and item as a whole are true to the product images.

(Disclaimer: I have NOT run with the sock as of the date of this review.) I have never used any compression leg products before. I have been a trail runner/ jogger for over 10 years and active throughout my life. I bought these socks because I injured my right calf muscle while trail running and needed the support to get me through my injury. It has been about 2 weeks and thus far I have been impressed with the sock. It compresses and helps my injury, but is not too tight. I wear between a size 12-14 shoe (depending on the brand) and the L/XL fits very well. I also like the fact that the sock is long enough that it not only covers my calf fully, but actually hits just below my knee (so I roll it down a bit with no problem...I am 5'11 with longer legs for my height). The point is, I appreciate the fact that they made the sock longer to accommodate different heights. I would "guesstimate" this sock (if you are looking to cover the full calf) would be useful for someone 2-3 inches taller than me. So cap it off at 6'2 or 6'3ish. The reason that this review is 4 stars instead of 5 stars is I'd like the sock to have a bit thicker cushioned on the bottom. That said, it definitely does have cushion on the bottom. My personal preference is that I usually look for socks on the "thicker cushioned" side. Again, just personal preference.

Like most compression socks they are a bit hard to put on and take off but are very comfortable once on. I like the way they come all the way to the knee and stay up

Great material, feels good to the skin. Comfortable not to tight but snug. Not to hard to put on or remove. Great height over the calf just slightly below the knee. Doesn't lose its compression after washing. Dry on a low setting.

Great socks. Durable and effective

The socks are good and well made but we thought with them being extra large they would not be as tight in the legs. That was what I understood when reading the description. My husband is quite disabled and needs the compression lower on his feet and ankles. We thought the socks would be easier to pull up than they were. He cannot do it alone. He has to have help. If you can do this on your own, then I'm sure they would be great socks.

Really good compression socks for flights. Great price

Great for busy people!

I suffer with edema and normally wear surgical socks. These socks look and feel like normal socks and are much more comfortable to wear.

Brilliant product,excellent value and quality. Faultless.

very good quality socks. super level of support and feel well made.
