SB SOX Compression Socks for Men & Women (20-30mmHg)

UPDATED REVIEW: 6 years later. When I initially bought compression socks 6 years ago, I bought a few different brands. This brand is the best & my favorite from the different brands. It’s been 6 years & I just purchased two additional pairs. Yes, they pill (as I noted in my first review below). That’s not an issue, as it in no way affects the functionality. Regarding my first review & having an issue with the tightness when sleeping with them on…….you’re not supposed to sleep with them on, so I stopped doing that. The tightness of the socks are perfect. I appreciate the variety of colors. I absolute love the longevity of these socks. 6 years in & all of the SB Sox I purchased have 0 issues. The elasticity is as good today as it was when brand new. I can say that’s not the case with all compression socks. I recently threw out another brand, as that brand’s sock lost it’s compression. NOTE: I do not put these socks in the dryer, as over time, the heat can break down the elasticity. I air dry them after every washing. If you are looking for a great pair of comfortable, supportive & long lasting compression socks, this is the brand for you. My massage therapist recommended that I get compression socks to assist with a painful arthritic toe & related the swelling that had been impeding my daily activities. I did a lot of research to better educate myself on compression socks, how they should feel, how to measure for the proper fit, benefits of the socks etc. Once I completed that research, I read hundreds of reviews (on Amazon) on the numerous brands that offer compression socks. I purchased a pair of SB Sox as well as two other brands. So far, these are my favorite pair. I can feel the compression thru my calf and the cushioning provided in the entire foot is quite noticeable. From my toes to my heel, my foot was resting on what feels like padded softness. I did not have this experience with the other two brands. The band at the top is secure and I have not had any slipping. I find it to be tight enough to stay up by not so tight as to cause discomfort, pain or indentation on my leg. I wore them to bed (even though much of what I read did not recommend this). I had no discomfort during night from the socks and woke up with minimal swelling in my foot and both my foot and legs felt really, really good. I then wore them to work where I was on my feet all day. Where as in the past, a full day on my feet would have me limping by day's end, this particular day I found myself with minimal foot pain and my feet felt really good. I didn't want to take them off at the end of the day because my lower legs and feet felt so good. I did machine wash and air dry them. They held up great. One thing I noticed (that I had read in another review of these socks) is that the heel / toe part of the socks started to pill up. At this point, it is just cosmetic and the benefits I receive from these socks out weight the pilling. After work I put on another pair from a different manufacturer (I'll call Brand #2). With the SB Sox being the first pair of compression socks that I've ever worn, I had nothing to compare them to. I wore Brand #2 to bed. Brand #2 did not have the same padding in the feet, although the compression through out my calf on Brand #2 was great. The big downfall for me on this brand was that the band at the top of the sock was so tight, I woke up and had to take the socks off because it was hurting too much. I was disappointed as the compression was great. Tonight I will try Brand #3. I can say that I woke up today and bought my second pair of SB Sox. I also decided to purchase ankle compression socks to wear to bed in lieu of the knee high compression socks.

These socks do the job. They are pretty thick compared to others. They are no so easy to put on, but once they are they're very comfortable.

I recently purchased the SB SOX Compression Socks (20-30mmHg) and I couldn’t be happier with my choice! These socks have been a game-changer for my daily routine. Comfort and Fit: The fit is perfect – snug but not too tight, providing just the right amount of compression. They are easy to put on and take off, which is a huge plus. The fabric is lightweight and breathable, keeping my feet comfortable all day long. Performance: These socks have significantly improved my circulation and reduced swelling in my legs. Whether I’m running, working out, or just going about my day, they provide excellent support and help reduce fatigue. I’ve also noticed a decrease in muscle soreness after long periods of standing or walking. Design: I love the variety of colors and patterns available. It’s great to have compression socks that are not only functional but also stylish. The material is durable and holds up well after multiple washes without losing its elasticity. Overall: I highly recommend the SB SOX Compression Socks to anyone looking for high-quality compression wear. They are perfect for athletes, travelers, or anyone who spends a lot of time on their feet. These socks are worth every penny and have become an essential part of my wardrobe!

The calf compression is great and they are overall very comfortable. The fit from my ankle to my knee is the perfect length. I personally would like more compression at the ankle but then I’m not sure I could get them on and off! The band at the top is very narrow and tighter than the calf portion of the sock. I feel like they slightly cut off my circulation just below the knee. My major recommendation would be redesigning the band at the top to be at least twice the current width and a little looser than the remainder of the upper sock. I have only washed them once but I didn’t notice any difference from pre to post washing.

OK! So I am old and I fly a lot (sometimes very far), and I depend on compression socks to protect me. Most that I have bought still show edema on arrival. These, absolutely not! There are many products that I love on Amazon, but I do not gloat on most! Except these I have only flown twice with them, but zero edema is my indication that these work well. Most pairs that I have bought fail after two or three uses so maybe I’m a little bit early, but I am very impressed with these, in fact, I will be buying a few pairs soon. These are extremely comfortable and, so far, I have zero evidence of edema. Pretty good indication that these are doing their job. Avoid DVT at all cost! I may even go to wearing these full-time. Thank you SB SOX. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK these are way different than any of the five or six pairs that I have tried

We started buying these socks for my husband in 2019. He is active and needs the support. We bout 3-4 pairs per year, replacing them as needed and always rotating pairs. For the benefit they provided these had been the best brand we could find. Confident in the brand, we purchase 4 pairs earlier this year. Sadly, these newer ones (despite having the exact same description) lost a tad bit of their snugness early on and, worse the heels and toes began to stretch/wear out after 2-3 wears. This is the type of wear and tear we used to start to see after 9+ months of use. We always wash them on cold gently and hang dry and have been doing the same routine for years. We have never seen them begin to fail so quickly, so will sadly need to begin the search for a new "best" brand for our needs. I am giving 3 stars because they were great in the past and there is a slight chance we just got a bad batch, but I doubt it as all the material and seams looked great right out of the box (did not appear to having sewing errors or manufacturer's defects).

Great fit, super comfortable I purchased two pairs already, will definitely recommend. This product, I’ll be buy my wife a pair soon

Good quality sock. Helps with my edema. Very comfortable to wear.

Bien y rápido

Ich bin beruflich durch Gartenpflege mehrere Stunden pro Tag mit vielen Laufkilometern unterwegs und trage entweder während oder auch nach der Arbeit für 3-4 Stunden diese Strümpfe, dadurch werden Muskelkater, Verspannungen etc. gelindert , hatte im Vorjahr in der linken Wade 2 fachen Muskelfaserriss und in der heurigen Saison ist das Bein nun noch nicht ganz fit und habe immer wieder Probleme, die aber nun durch den Strumpf sehr gut zu bewältigen sind, bzw. leichte Schmerzen immer wieder toll durch das Tragen gelindert werden, da die Waden durch die Kompression die Stoffe besser durch die Venen abtransportiert werden! Sehr zu empfehlen, Sportler übrigens verwenden ja diese auch...

Really happy with these as a first pair of compression socks. They fit and feel great. Delivery was quick and faster than expected seen as it's December.

Bought the socks to help with foot cramps. The socks felt difficult to put on properly. Inquired from SBSox of size etc. To ensure that I have orderrd the correct size, they required calf measurements etc. On notifying size, they assured me the size was correct for my feet, further more sent information and links on how best to put the compression socks on etc. The after sale service provided was prompt, courteous and more. Having worn the socks, the compression felt good, not too tight or too loose. The quality of the material was excellent too matches the service offered. I am happy to recommend both the company and the product.

I was diagnosed with a varicose vein in my leg. So I bought these socks. A bit sceptical I admit but they really work. Easy to put on and take off. They stopped the pain in my leg straightaway. Not too thick so my shoes still feel comfy. The inside of the foot part is slightly fluffy so keep my feet warm too. I will be ordering another pair.
