SB SOX Compression Socks for Men & Women (20-30 mmHg) - Best Support Stockings for Travel, Medical, and Sports - Perfect for Everyday Wear

I had previously purchased these compression socks in a size large, as the chart recommended. The calf area was fine, but my size 12 feet felt very cramped. It felt like I couldn't straighten my toes. I then purchased these same socks in XL. What a difference. The calf area still has plenty of compression and my feet are comfortable. They seem pretty durable so far. I will be purchasing more. There is another brand that I may prefer a little more, but they cost $60-$70 per pair. I plan to buy both brands and switch around from day to day.

Never wore compression socks before in my life. Had some folks from church highly suggest them. Ran into problems with left leg from back to toes. PT helped a little. MRI showed nerve issues. Trying chiropractor before a spine specialist. Bought these as another way to conservatively try & fix things. I am not a Dr. but these are a step in the good direction. They do help. Certainly, not a quick cure, but I have felt improvement from wearing them. Cold sensation & tingling in my foot is noticeably less. I have no problems wearing them for more than 8 hrs at a time. They are very high quality & are comfortable. Obviously they are tight. I have an easier time putting them on without balling them up trying the get the whole sock over my heel. Just start at the top sliding the unraveled sock over your foot & heel, then gently tug as you need pulling it where it gets snug. Much better than getting the whole bunged up sock over your whole leg. After the first wear, I bought 5 more pairs. Amazon even gave me a discount on a couple of them. I'm sold. Good socks.The only negative, is the cool material they are made of. Unavoidable. I am kinda sensitive to cooling fabric like spandex, moisture wicking clothes are a negative to me. These are cooling. They get cold easy. Yet, they are thin enough that you can wear a warm sock over them & they do not create a problem wearing your normal shoes. Still worth the buy. Understand the need for the material, will not knock off a star for it.

My first pair I got I went by the size chart and got a large, I now buy 11 1/2 wide shoes, my feet are widening, this time I went for the XL, for my feet I prefer the larger size. The larger size was also easier to get on. I started using compression socks because my feet were inexplicably swelling, I had Hobbit feet minus the hair, these really brought down any swelling, I don't wear them everyday, more like every couple days, I'll update if need he, I withheld one star because I don't know the durability yet

Very good support, you can feel the compression, which is a good thing. So many of these compression socks, you put them on and realize they really do not have a lot of compression. Not with these socks, you put them on and you can feel the compression, which is good.

SB SOX (20-30mmHg): The best I've tried thus far (and I've tried a lot of compression socks). Suffered from multiple DVT's in the left leg due to several veins collapsing during one of the surgeries. They installed some 6+ FT of stents on the veinous side to save the leg (one of the FDA studies out there). Anyway, the end result is that I now get to wear compression stockings from now on. These are simply the best compression stockings that I've found so far (including the medical grade ones you need an Rx for - that simply cost 4-times as much, but have same rating and do the same thing). The band at the top does not cut, they provide good/solid compression from the ankle up, and they make your legs feel great. I've tried some brands that I've simply had to throw away after wearing them once (they were that bad or the band at the top was simply not worth it). For walking/exercise, the SB-SOX also feel great and help during and after the walk (can now do 5-8K's). Or, if you are on your feet all day, these socks will make you feel better when you get to the end of the day (at least your legs will feel better). For the athletes, I can see these socks helping runners at any distance. The vendor is terrific to deal with and they are always willing to help (vendor provides some nice discounts for buying more than one - and you'll want to buy more than one so that you don't have to wash them every night). The only other one that I'd recommend is made by "Run Forever Sports" (also a 20-30mmHg compression) - they feel just as good. The SB-SOX's are a little cheaper out the gate and if you are buying more than 1-pair, they give you a 5% discount for each added pair (up to 30% off for 6-pair). For the money, the SB-SOX's are my go-to brand and I suspect I'll eventually be wearing this brand exclusively (once I've weeded out or worn out the sub-par brands that I've tried.........or once I've worn them enough that I can justify throwing them out; as they are expensive and I wanted to try and get some use out of the other brands that I still have). To anyone out there that wants to simply feel better at the end of a race or at the end of the day - give this brand a try. To anyone out there that needs to wear them for a medical condition (such as DVT's or the pain caused by them), you also will not be disappointed (hang in there and I hope you get some relief).Disclaimer: I paid for each pair of SB-Sox's that I own out of my own pocket and rec'd nothing for free (also got nothing for the time I spent to write this review). At times, I do wonder if the review is unbiased or not and I also wonder if the review can truly be unbiased if the product was given to them for free (I suppose it can be done - but you do still wonder). Anyway, we've all seen reviews where a product was given to a person for free or in exchange for an 'honest-review'. I wanted to put in the same sort of disclaimer - just stating that I paid for them outright. I do try to read reviews when I'm looking to make a purchase and I do appreciate when an honest review is available. While I don't write many reviews, I wanted to at least provide the same courtesy to others that I look for. So, I'll try to find time when a product is working for me and at least provide some feedback - hence this (long-winded) review.Best regards.

These r amazing & seams don't irritate legs. Better that brand we previously used. Only brand we will buy. Used support socks for 3+yrs. I've used these for over a year.

I purchased the SB SOX Compression Socks (20-30 mmHg) in Large, Black/Gray for my husband, who is a paraplegic and struggles with poor circulation in his legs. These socks have made a noticeable difference in his daily comfort and overall leg health.The compression level is just right—firm without being uncomfortable—and they provide consistent support throughout the day. The material is breathable and easy to put on, which is important for someone with limited mobility. He wears them during the day and sometimes even during long car rides, and they’ve helped reduce swelling and discomfort significantly.Whether you're dealing with medical needs, travel, or everyday wear, these socks truly live up to the claims. Highly recommend for anyone needing reliable circulation support.
