Physix Gear Compression Socks 20-30 mmHg - Men & Women - Running, Nurses, Shin Splints, Flight, Travel

I must admit, I didn't purchase these for "active wear", for which many seem to purchase them. I work in surgery, and am standing in place for 5-6 hours at a time. Needless to say, my legs LOOK like I stand all day, with spider veins, varicosities, and venostasis. As such, compression stockings are essential. I have always purchased the more expensive "medical grade" variety on line, that are effective, but not attractive...and are super challenging to put on and take off. Enter these awesome stockings. I have been wearing them only a few days, but I loved them enough to buy a few more pairs. At the end of each day, my legs have felt great after spending all day in surgery...and not only that, they even look better, with much less swelling and bulging of varicosed veins. Here's what I like... -They don't fall or roll down. -They are relatively effortless to put on. -The top elastic is broad and doesn't pinch or bind. -They apply uniform pressure along the length of the stocking. -They actually look reasonably sharp, and the color variety is nice to keep paired stockings mated. -They fit as advertised. I am a big guy 6'2", and my calves are 21", so I have a hard time fitting for my calves. I got the XXL, and they fit and squeeze perfectly. The length is perfect, coming up to just under my knee. As for things I don't like, there really isn't anything, except perhaps I question the actual 20-30 mmHg of compression that is advertised. I would estimate closer to 20, but that is not a deal-breaker. Since I've only had them for several days, I can't speak to durability, so fingers crossed. At least at this price point under $20, I will be happy to get six months of daily, 10 hour wear.

As a truck driver these have been a lifesaver. I'm sitting all day and rarely get the chance to leave the truck. No more issues walking and weird pains. These do work some miracles. Bought 4 pairs. Going to get more for a few family members for Xmas.

I got a XXL. My ankles are 11", my calves are 20.5" L and 21" R with a 15" length, and I wear 9.5W shoes (US Women size). My calves are 15.5" long. They fit well on the ankle and calf, with no digging in at the ankle. The foot didn't feel too tight, and they felt cool within a couple minutes of trying on. I could definitely see them being good for extended wear or in warmer weather. They also look nice. It's so hard to find stylish compression socks with larger legs. They were too long both on the foot and the calf, for me. They actually reach above my knees comfortably, but roll with movement. The top cuff is uncomfortably tight for me. It was a bit disappointing, especially with how comfortable the rest of the calf was. I only left them on for about 15-20 minutes, and was just starting to get a red band on my skin from the top cuff. Though I also have sensitive skin and fibromyalgia, so it may be that's just a more sensitive area for me.

I had an accident which tore my LCL and MDL. I avoided surgery and did rehab which left me able to walk but caused stage 4 osteoarthritis in my knee and lots of pain and swelling. The awkward movement caused stage 1 to develop in my other knee and the avoidance of pain caused weight gain due to the lack of mobility. My job requires tons of walking and standing for long hours. A couple of days ago, I could barely take the pain when I got home, even with the meloxicam they have me on and my legs would swell to the point that I could not see my ankle bones at the end of a shift. I resolved to find a pair of compression socks that would give me some support. I have knee sleeves for when I'm at home but I can't wear them at work because they catch on my pants. I looked at many compression socks and found that the cheap ones only come in two sizes. I didn't want to try these because my calves were larger than what the cheap ones were made for and frankly, I couldn't afford to play around with poor sizing due to the pain I was going through. The reviews for these Physix were great and so I measured my calves and bought the suggested size and had them shipped overnight. The next morning they were waiting for me at the door. I was very happy to see that while they give great arch support, they leave comfortable wiggle room for your toes. I have a size 11.5 wide foot and the socks are cushioned like sport socks but give great arch/ankle support. Rolling them up is the best way to get them on and the compression is gradual with more towards the bottom and lighter but very effective compression towards the top. At 6'2" these socks stop right under my knees. They do not slide down on their own through the day. They also don't roll down at the top. Best yet, they don't feel like they are trying to strangle your legs. During the day, you'll actually forget they're on. You'll only be aware of the massage effect while you walk and the deletion of pain from inflammation. Whatever they compress felt like when I wear my knee brace and helped tremendously with support even above the knee which was amazing. After my shift when I got home marked 12 hours of use. I slid them off and couldn't believe that not only were my ankle bones visible, so we're my metatarsals! My watch showed I did a 12k step day and I still had vigor! I immediately purchased 4 more pair to cover the entire week. Are they pricey? Yes. Do they work? A resounding yes! Do you get what you pay for? Absolutely! I have not had a day with so little pain and swelling in the six years since the accident but now I'm sure my quality of life will be far far better!

These are really good socks. I have to admit, I thought it was 3 pairs and was surprised when I only saw 1. Then I read the description closely. They're pricey for just 1 pair. I don't see much difference between these and others I bought on here that come with more pairs and cute designs too. They fit very well and are comfortable.

I’ve tried several brands of compression stockings over the past 12 years I’ve worn them. These are by far the best I’ve tried. Great fit (2xl as I’m just under 6’4”), even compression, and seem to be of a heavier build quality making them more durable and should be longer lasting. I even wash them in warm water and dry them on low and still fit fine. I did a test on drying with a single pair first to ensure they didn’t shrink. So I’d suggest you try a test pair washing first depending on your washer and dryer settings as all machines are different.

Pretty expensive for a single pair - there was little or no credible detail that this is just one set. Overall, they're very comfortable and do the job. I'm a 6'4" male with size US 14W. I bought size XXL. Overall, they're GREAT but aren't a good value in my opinion. I will comfortably wear them, but the next pairs will sadly come from another vendor.

Great product for swelling legs and varicose veins. Durable, sturdy, great fit. Comfortable, but a bit of a hassle to put on, but this is normal for 20-30 mmHg. Good value for the money.

Buenos en general, no se aflojan con las lavadas, sólo hay que tener cuidado con la talla, porque vienen un tanto más holgados que el promedo. El grosor del tejido es un punto a considerar si te molestan los calcetines "gruesos", pero también, por lo general las opciones más delgadas que sí comprimen son mucho más caras.

Good for swelling legs, fab. Great. No more leg pain

Very pleased with these socks! They are very comfortable, the fabric is soft and not too thick so they don't make me too hot while I'm working. The compression is perfect and I definitely notice a difference in pain at the end of the day while wearing them. I had an issue with sizing & the company fixed it by sending a new pair very fast! I am super impressed & definitely recommend these socks!

Muy comodos y suaves, con la comprensión indicada, no son nada molestos, los compraria de nuevo.

Good compression socks but not a good fit for those with big calves. Plus size calves of 50cm and above can't use this. Will be too tight and painful 😣
