Sockwell Men's Elevation Firm Graduated Compression Sock

Planning to travel to Japan meant a 14-hour flight – in coach! That made it imperative that both my husband and I purchase and wear compression socks. After I researched various brands and styles, “Sockwell Men’s Elevation Compression Socks, Black, Large/X-Large” were better suited to my husband’s picky preferences than other options. Stockwell uses a higher percentage of natural fibers than many other brands of socks. As a result, they wicked moisture better and did not make his feet to sweat more profusely. They were firmer (20 – 30 mm Hg) than the majority of compression socks (10 – 20 mmHG). The socks’ graduated compression and well-fitted feet made “Sockwell Men’s Elevation Compression Socks, Black, Large/X-Large” the socks for him. Sizing is always a challenge when it comes to purchasing any clothing online. My husband wears an 11 to 11 ½ Medium in shoes. The Large/X-Large size fits him well and is comfortable. At its maximum point, his calf is about 16” in circumference. The socks extend to the crease in the back of his knees – about 17" from the floor; this circumference of area also measures about 16”. His foot is 11” long and the circumference around the arch is about 9 ¾”. “Sockwell Men’s Elevation Compression Socks, Black, Large/X-Large” are constructed with care. Unlike my socks that had a more prominent knot on one side of the toe area, my husband’s socks had smooth toe seams. The top of the sock has a rolled, zigzag-stitched hem that approximately 3/8” wide. It has not rolled during wearing. Although these socks can be machine washed and dried, I prefer to hand wash and dry them flat. I believe this will increase their useful life. Amazon’s price for these socks, combined with PRIME shipping and free returns, makes them a much better value than the same item purchased from one of the online travel clothing retailers.

I had a recent blood clot and purchased a variety of different compression socks to help with my continued ankle pain. I tried different levels of compression, and they all work to some degree. This product has been my go-to when the pain is most present. It really helps! I bought one pair at first to see how well it would work, and I just bought a 2nd pair because it works GREAT!!! I wear these when I go to work (standing all day), and these are the ones I wear if I am travelling or going on a long car ride. And as I mentioned, I wear them if the pain is noticeable. When I put them on, the pain just goes away. They are expensive for socks, but they are so worth the price. They were a little difficult to put them on the first time, but I got used to it pretty quick. No problem putting them on once I knew how to do it properly. They are made well, and they seem durable. I'm very glad to have found this product. Now, I'm just hoping that my wife doesn't lose one of these socks in the wash! Socks seem to have a limited lifespan in my house! : )

These are truly great compression socks, and they really do work as advertised. My normal shoe size is M 10.5, so based on other reviews I got the M/L pair, and I'm very glad I did. They are only slightly difficult to get on, but once they are they provide a perfect "medium-firm" level of compression. They aren't uncomfortable whatsoever, they're extremely soft (if you've ever worn Darn Tough socks they feel identical thanks to the merino wool), and my puppies don't sweat in them much at all. The only con with these is that they're pricey, but honestly I think they're worth it. The difference is night-and-day between these and the budget pairs of compression socks on Amazon: these are softer, thicker, stay in place the entire day, don't cause any sweating, but most importantly they actually provide the advertised 20-30mmhg pressure. I'd rather pay a premium for a pair of these socks that work correctly, versus only spending a fraction of the price on ones that don't provide any benefits and risk tearing after only a few wears. Especially since these are intended to alleviate physical pain, which is one of the few products categories that I'm willing to spend a premium on. So all of that being said, I emphatically recommend these if budget isn't a concern. They work remarkably well and provide a ton of relief for my always-sore runner legs.

They are excellent socks in all but one respect. The price is extremely high and while they last longer than most, they do wear out on the heels faster than one would expect. I own many with no regrets but frankly while Physix and other that are TRUE firm types wear out faster, they are easier to don and cheaper in the long run. So I will no longer purchase the otherwise excellent Sockwells. Sockwell: You should lower price to something more reasonable. Or at least put them on sale once in a while. Note: Many so called firm rated off-brands are NOT FIRM. Be warned.

Size 11w - ordered xl size, fits perfectly and it is made out of a comfortable fabric.

One of the side effects of chemotherapy is neuropathy in your feet. This is a numbness or tingling, needle-like feeling, especially in the toes. Wearing regular compression socks exacerbates that feeling by squeezing your toes together to the point it feels like they're in a vise. These graduated compression socks solve that problem. The toe area of the sock fits like normal everyday socks, loose enough to allow freedom of movement, while the akle and upper portions retain the compression you're looking for. Granted, $33 for a pair of socks seems excessive, and it is, but they appear to be very well made and should last a long time while alleviating the pain in your toes that other compression socks submit you to.

These are great! Just read the directions for putting them on before you do it your way. (Yes, you need instructions to put your socks on). Once you get the hang of it, there's nothing to it and the results are worth it.

i would give it zero stars if i could. socks were TOO SMALL. XXL, (the largest size available) and TOO SMALL. almost impossible to put them on. (that should have been a red flag) then as i wore them my legs started to hurt. finally i tried to take them off. impossible. HAD TO CUT THEM OFF . tried to return them ($32 for one pair) and "the return window is closed". I have used other compression socks that were comfortable and sized correctly. These, on the other hand, made for a miserable day. my expectations were based on internet reviews (stupid, duh). piece of crap product. dont buy it unless you have sticks for legs.

Pleased with product. Well made.

Alles gut

These are probably the best compression socks I have had.

Really fantastic service got my item super quick to me when I was desperate can't recommend any better

この商品は最高です！ いろいろ着圧ソックスは試しましたが一番いいです！ まず履き口がきつくないので血流を妨げません。それでいて全体的にしっかり着圧されているのでずり落ちません。 また、洗濯が容易にできるのがいいです。 公式サイトによれば裏返して普通に洗濯できます。 私は靴のサイズが28.5なのでL-XLサイズを買いました。足のサイズ的にちょうどいいです。少し余裕もあるのでもう少し大きくても大丈夫だと思います。身長は186ですが無理に伸ばしたりする必要もなく、膝下までしっかり覆えます。 おすすめです。
