Crucial Compression Socks for Men & Women (20-30mmHg) Running, Athletic, Travel

CRUCIAL COMPRESSION SOCKS FOR MEN & WOMENAfter I received the Shingles vaccine in September I was hit hard with Guillain-Barre Syndrome which causes your body to attack itself....I could not walk and my arms were very weak. I am FINE now and recovering after many tests, five days in the hospital, two weeks as a resident at rehab, and then a month of rehab as an out patient. I now wear these CRUCIAL COMPRESSION socks daily. I am happy to report I am walking, able to function normally. Thank God!!!These socks feel SO good on my legs. While supportive, they do not feel the least bit uncomfortable while wearing. They give me plenty of support. My legs feel so much better when I am wearing them. My husband has to help me put them on as they are tight but then we are good to go. I have no trouble removing them by myself.They are easy to care for -- I hand wash and hang up to dry. They are ready for me the next morning. You can machine wash; however, it is recommended not to put them in the dryer. Do not iron or bleach either.I was surprised to learn that most of the nurses and rehab techs, along with my own doctor, wear compression socks daily since they are on their feet all day. They do provide support, comfort, help prevent swelling, along with just making your legs feel so good. They help you recover faster and help prevent injury and relieve pain.These CRUCIAL COMPESSION socks are so comfortable and helpful for my needs. If you find you need support or have a job where you never sit down, check these out. Only good can come from wearing these!

Perfect fit, Im 10.5 EEE shoe and do not have skinny or thin legs see photo the large Xtra large are perfect, appear to be well made I will see how they hold up after several washings but for now Im extremely satisfied. Not hard to put on the material stretched easly to pull over my feet and legs and over my calf, I wore them all day walked my walk witch is 8K feet a day and they did not slide down my calf and stayed in place. I have a dropped left foot with extensive nerve damage (Left Foot) with vascular issues on both legs.and after today's walk my legs felt great. They did make a difference , fit, and proper compression is critical at least for me they are and these are great.

4/5 stars, for great comfort, easier to put on then my old TED compression socks, and compresses my foot very well.1 star taken away since they're larger that stated. I'm 6'2" tall 280# with a size 13 shoe and 20" calf circumference, not exactly a small guy. I need compression socks because I'm a diabetic with edema (swelling of the ankles and calves). I got the XXL size based on my shoe size on the size chart. Next time I will get a size smaller since the XXL go over my knee (should go to just below my knee).There's a seam at the toe and a small seam at the heel, neither of which make an impression on my foot after a long day or bother me when i wear the socks (pictures are from the inside). If there's additional seams, I cant find them. Some of these fancy compression socks are made by sewing together multiple pieces of fabric, the seams of which will leaves lines on you legs. These Crucial Compression socks don't leave lines on you skin because aside from the heel and the toes, its a seamless tubular construction. The seams it does have I can't feel them so they don't bother me in any way.The material is like a stretchy cloth weave (one of the pictures is a close-up of sock) and is easier to put on than the TED compression socks I got from the hospital. I have regular tube socks that remind me of this stretchy cloth weave, but of course they don't stretch as much.I'm buying more next month since I found a good brand that works well and is made well. That said, make sure you follow the care instructions and always air dry without heat -- that's true for all compression socks, not just this brand. If you toss them in the dryer, they will expand and lose their elasticity very quickly.

I am 5'9", wear a size 10 women's shoe, weigh 140 lbs, and size 6 or 8 pants, have proportionate width calves for someone my height. I ordered a Large or XL in all the highly rated and/or socks that had colors I liked (Physix Gear, Odd Duck, TMF (Treat My Feet), Doc Miller, Sigvaris, Swell Relief, Newzill, Iseasoo, Crucial Compression, SB Sox, Go2Socks, Rymora. So I got a really good compare and contrast of the fit, look, material, length, differences in compression etc. Some felt more like socks without much compression, some compressed my feet too much and cut off the circulation. Some were too short and didn't quite reach up to my knees and caused an unsightly bulge out over the top, some were soft yet substantial and invigorating, some were thin and had too much of a binding at the top or bottom band.My top three of the closed toe full socks would probably be the Crucial, SB Socks, and Rymora. The SB and Rymora edge out over the Crucial b/c they don't compress my feet much so I can sit around in them and not have my feet go to sleep. Whereas the Crucial have a bit of compression around the arch and foot and I have to wear them only when I'm going to go out and walk or run around - if I just sit I don't have enough blood flow and the slight compression in the feet would start making my feet tingle and go to sleep. But aside from that, they look great, are the right length (long enough to come up to top of my calf and a little up my knee if I want, and the color and pattern is really eye catching.
