Cotton Compression Socks for Women & Men. 15-20 mmHg Graduated Support for Nurses Travel Flight Shin Splints Edema

My ortho PA recommended getting a pair of compression socks to help with ankle swelling that I had from an ankle injury. These socks fit the bill. Swelling is under control and they are fashionable and not too hot. I hand wash them as recommended. Good sock company.

I am 5'2" and weigh 115lbs and am a small in size clothing and very small feet. Sock land is the best compression socks to buy if you're looking for a good quality fabric without snags or rips, then these are the compression socks to get. They will sure make your legs feel 100% better when walking or standing on your feet all day. I've had no problems with any holes so they are good fabric made right and feel good. You get a quality sock for the price you pay. I will definitely purchase these again. Great circulation for my legs great elasticity also. They do look rather nice in their appearance. The compression is perfect for my small legs. They will work for small short people and more slender. If you are thicker in the legs they may be too tight. They work for me.

As a senior citizen with several serious medical issues, I knew how important it is to keep my ankles from swelling. After spying these colorful and fun new types of compression socks on Amazon, I ordered two pair, one in dark blue and one in grey, for a recent cruise to Norway and Scotland. Usually I only wear compression stockings for the airplane flights, but this itinerary included the possibility of cooler, windy and rainy weather from Oslo up to the Arctic circle and over to the Faroe and Orkney Islands, so this time I opted to choose these knee-high compression socks for the added warmth. I am so glad that I did! These socks are simply amazing and got worn nearly every day, keeping my feet toasty warm and happy. They were easy to put on and nearly as easy to remove, and I never once noticed any ankle swelling. If I didn't live in Florida for half of the year, I would happily order several other colors and patterns in these terrific compression socks, although there will be a few very cool days in December and January, even in Sarasota. They are a nice thickness, but not too much to be hot or to make my shoes too tight, but just thick enough to be snug and very comfortable...and they are very affordable, as well!. Yes, I love these socks!

23-08-02:Even though I no longer buy these socks because of the change in sizing, I still wanted to make a comment. I've seen reviews talking about how expensive these are. With quite a bit of experience with compression socks now, I can tell you that these ARE NOT expensive for compression socks, especially given their very high quality. Good quality compression socks run between $20.00 and $50.00. My current compression socks, the ones that were the best replacement for Sockslane, currently cost $28 to $32 a pair. That's all. I loved these so much while the worked for me, wanted people to realize you most definitely are getting a good deal price-wise with Sockslane.UPDATE 12-19-2021:I am now able to assess durability - for me, washing them per instructions and after every wear, they last an average of 55 wearings before losing compression. That seems a little short, as I believe the norm is replacing at three to six months. I no longer purchase the socks because the sizing changed and they no longer fit me, but loved them otherwise.UPDATE 01-16-2021:I promised I'd post about durability when I'd been wearing these long enough, so here goes - I get about 52 wearings out of these socks; compression lasts (all are still going strong on that front), but then begin to get holes in the toes. Research appears to indicate that is about average or maybe slightly below average for compression socks. The sizing has changed (Sockslane does not agree, but small to medium no longer fits me, and my photos show the newer socks to be longer and larger in circumference), which is very aggravating as these are still the only socks I've found doable. Soooooo, I've taught myself to darn in order that I may continue to wear my older Sockslane until the compression gives out. I'm still periodically ordering a pair in hopes that the sizing returns to the old version.UPDATE 05-17-2019:I guess I must like these. I've now ordered five times in just slightly over a month and have 15 pair. Just waiting to see how durable before giving that last star.ORIGINAL POSTI accidentally got some compression socks about 45 years ago that hurt so bad they put me in tears, so was scared when doctor said I needed compression socks. A lot (not all) of that is gone now with the SocksLane socks.PROS:- These are VERY well made, beautiful seaming at the toe that is the flattest I have ever seen and cannot be felt at all.- Unlike a few other reviews, I could feel compression along the entire length of the sock, not simply the ankle. I only wish I could not feel the compression on my poor toes when standing (no problem when sitting or walking, but if I have to stand for an extended time - hours - ouch).- the cuffing(?) at the top is extremely flat and smooth and does not cut into my calves below the knee at all when I have the sock arranged properly . . . and I have very muscular calves that are not uncommonly problematic with NON-compression socks.- Not thin/see-through as some other reviews indicated, although that would not bother me. I'd even prefer slightly thinner, but these appear very durable (will update later on wear).- And, as much as I hate to admit it, YES, they kept swelling down in my ankles/feet and calves and my legs felt overall better at end of day.CONS:- compression on toes. I have toe pain anyway, would prefer a slightly larger toe area with perhaps no compression. As I am just learning ins and outs of compression socks, not sure if that is possible. Or maybe an open-toe version, even though doc says I need closed-toe; I figure whatever makes me most comfortable is what I am likely to use most, so how about it, Sockslane? An open-toe style?- I wish the outside of the sock were the inside, the outside feels just heavenly and much more cottony than the inside.That's pretty much it on cons. The people who said the socks were not cotton, or that they smelled, or were thin, or took forever to arrive, I think must have received socks from someplace else - i.e., not SocksLane. The Sockslane socks are supposed to be fulfilled directly by Amazon, and mine arrived the day after ordering, were not thin, did not smell, and were in very visibly marked packaging that said "SocksLane". If they came in other packaging (like it appears in some pics), I suspect they are not "SocksLane.I bought some woolblend compression socks at the same time that arrived today and I have already tried on. There is less compression than with the SocksLane socks, they bind a little at the top, they are thinner, the toe seam is less smooth, and I some of my ankle swelling had returned in just an hour after switching from Sockslane to them. I suspect SocksLane will be the winner of the competition over the long haul.

Fits just right! I’m a 6.5 in shoes I got the Small/Medium. They feel very comfortable and help with swelling. They come in many fun colors.

Abolutely thrilled with this purchase! These cotton-rich socks are super comfortable, soft, and supportive! They are easy to put on and take off and have a comfortable amount of compression to help with my circulation. They are very high quality and should last a long time. If you're looking for a non-toxic alternative in compression socks, these are an excellent choice. Highly recommended!

Not much compression because they’re very thin. Wouldn’t buy again.

I purchased these compression socks because I broke my ankle and had surgery. If I don’t wear compression socks by noon my foot and ankle are double the size! These are by far my favorite compression socks! Love the cotton fabric and has a decent compression. These are perfect for my needs and by the end of the day there is a bit of swelling but not too bad. I do wish they would offer a higher compression. A little too pricey for one pair but it’s worth it. I like them so much I purchased another pair.
