SIGVARIS Women's Casual Cotton 146 - Calf High Medical Compression Socks - 15-20mmHg

I bought these to wear on a plane trip to Europe. They were comfortable and easy to put on.

I am an RN and I am on my feet 13-16hrs a day. These cotton knee-hi's with graduated compression help sustain my energy and sprightly steps through my long shift. How did I hear of this brand? I went to a dermatologist for some discoloration on my ankles, and was diagnosed with a condition caused by ruptured capillaries, thereby spilling blood showing dark stains on my skin, due to venous stasis from years of prolonged standing. To prevent the cause, he advised me to wear compression hose. I've tried other brands before, mainly nylon, and they were too tight (felt like strangling my legs), too warm, and hard to pull up esp. when I'm rushing, so I gave up on them a long time ago. Then he showed me his socks which were these same socks I'm evaluating, and he said that ever since he started wearing them, he doesn't feel tired on his feet anymore. He recommended these specifications: SIGVARIS brand, COTTON, KNEE-HI'S, with 15-20mmHg compression. Well, I work longer shifts than he does and still, my feet/legs don't feel tired and no more swollen feet at the end of my long shifts when I have these on. They feel just right. They are cotton so they are breathable and not hot, they are not hard to pull up, and because they keep my blood circulation going, they keep my energy going. You know the feeling of blood stagnated in your lower legs and feet when you've been up too long? Ditto. These stockings/socks are the comfortable solution. By the way, my dermatologist was introduced to these Sigvaris socks by his brother-in-law who is also a doctor and on his feet for long hours. And they're only $20+ versus the other kinds that cost $50+. I don't need fancy kinds; my priority is that they serve the purpose of graduated compression without the strangling feeling of most compression hoses. These Sigvaris 15-20mmHg compression stockings save my day, my legs, and my money, too. They feel so good I actually go around the house with them and sometimes sleep with them on. I'm going to buy more pairs in the other colors because I can't do without them.

These are great support stockings. Comfortable. Effective. Look like normal socks. I have used several pairs for years and they hold up well. Only thing preventing 5 stars is I think the price is high though I can't find them for less elsewhere.

Quite comfortable because they are a high percentage of cotton. Also plenty of toe room.

I have more than 20 compression socks. 1/2 of them are Sigvaris’. They are the best. They wash well and are easier to put on and wear all day. The compression is consistent. I must wear them daily from morning until bedtime. They really help support my varicose veins. My Vascular doctor prescribed this brand for me. Yes there are cheaper brands out there, but their quality is cheap and inconsistent.

A presen for familia member. Very comfortable.

Worst pair of compassion stockings I have ever received.Blue dye comes out when washed.Totally uncomfortable to wear.Do Not buy these.

Before you get compression socks for varicose veins, consult your vein doctor. I bought 2 kinds before I actually got the right recommended pair. They must be the right size and compression. They are definitely worth it.
