CHARMKING Compression Socks for Women & Men Circulation (8 Pairs)15-20 mmHg is Best Support for Athletic Running,Cycling

This review is for sizing purposes only. I'm a size 9 woman who stands 5'6". Because of my pregnancy, I'm wearing a size 5 shoe and have swelling below my knees. I'm happy with the S/M size, even though I wasn't sure which one I needed. Even with my larger foot (for a woman) and currently swollen legs, I was worried that the small/medium would be too tight, but it isn't. I wear a 9 in shoes. My calf is 16 inches in circumference and my ankle is 11 inches in circumference. Even with a larger foot and currently swollen legs, I'm very pleased with the fit of the small medium. I gave four stars because I believe the socks could be a little tighter, though I can still feel the compression effects. I also like the height of the socks, which is just below my knee but not so low that they slide down the back of my calf. br>br>I'd like to respond to some of the criticisms that the toes are too big. So that circulation is not cut off in the toes and the socks do not squeeze the toes together, causing blisters, corns, and pressure sores, the toe area of compression socks should be loose fitting. This was done on purpose in the design. I dislike having my toes squished together by tight socks, so the fit of the toes is perfect for me. It doesn't cause wrinkles or bunching around my toes inside my shoe, which I despise. br>br>In conclusion, if you're undecided about which size to get, go for the smaller one.

I learned as a nurse to stretch them out before attempting to place them on patients. In each hand, take a piece of the end. Pull out as far as you can, then do it again. To put them on, start at the top and work your way down. Stretch hard to make it easier to slide your toes through the opening. When you put them on, they feel great, and when you take them off, you'll notice that they reduce ankle swelling. With repeated use, it becomes easier to put on. then he.

These compression socks are the best! I've tried others before, but they were difficult to put on and quite unsightly. These are incredibly simple to put on and look fantastic! I purchased the 7-pack, which includes six different designs. br>br>I have diabetes-related neuropathy, so my feet hurt all the time, but as soon as I put these socks on, they felt a little better. The pressure from my sock on my foot helps to alleviate some of the pain. They also don't slash my legs in any way. I just folded them over because they were a little too long. I'm a size 9 in women's clothing. I have a size 5 shoe, so I ordered a L/XL pair of socks, which fit perfectly. br>br>They were a little pricey ($35 for 7 pair), but they will be well worth the money if I can get the swelling down and the pain under control.

I bought these for my wife to use at work because she is always on her feet. She adores them and is amazed at how much they assist her throughout the day. And, as a physical therapist, she would be considered an expert in this field.

They're light enough to be worn as regular socks in the summer. However, they've been extremely helpful in terms of compression when it's been required! These are what I wear for 8 hours every day. They work for ten hours a day and are never grumpy! I was a little concerned because they are on the "cheaper" end of the price spectrum, but they are far superior to my $20 single pair. These are incredible.

He's been wearing them for a week now. These were purchased for my husband, who is on his feet all day at work and suffers from Vericos veins, gout, and diabetes, so his legs and feet are constantly in pain. He's been wearing them for a week and is very pleased with the relief he's experiencing. This weekend, he even told our grocer about them and how much of a difference they've made in his life.

I ordered the small size because I'm 5'1" and they fit perfectly. They're of good quality, and they're as snug as they should be. My feet and legs were extremely sore when I got home from work because I work in a clinic and am on my feet all day. When I stepped out of bed the next morning after working, my feet hurt so much that I could barely walk. My feet and legs aren't hurting after a week of wearing these, and they aren't hurting the next day either. These are something I would strongly recommend to anyone who has had similar issues to mine.

I wasn't sure what size to get because I wear a 9 1/2 wide shoe, so I went with a large X-large. They fit and feel great thanks to the large size. Because I'm a man, my toe nails ripped up these socks, and I didn't want to go to a nail salon for a pedicure, I told my wife about it, and she handed me a pair of her liners to cover the nails. There will be no more shredded socks with these liners. Of course, before I put my hands into these socks, I file my fingernails. Because the fiber will catch and form a pull and eventually a hole, it is very easy to rune these socks with sharp nails. I worked in knitting technology for many years, so I am familiar with everything about these socks, from the fiber to the knit construction, and I will give them five stars overall.
