Thigh High Compression Socks, Firm Support 20-30 mmHg Gradient Compression Stockings with Silicone Band. Treatment for Runnin

Long story short: Yes, I recommend these. Long story: My neurologist and cardiologist both recommended I use compression socks to help manage my POTS. And because I have a bunch of others health issues going on aside from POTS, after some research, I decided that thigh high socks would provide much greater benefits than regular or knee high socks. Since I didn't know what to expect, I aimed for a not too expensive pair of compression socks, and found these. For reference, I am 5.6"... I am in a constant state of inflammation, so my weight keeps fluctuating from the 160s lb to 180s lb. I am always between sizes (S-M) for everything, so I added the small to my shopping cart because the last thing I wanted was for them to be sliding down to my knee at any chance they'd get. But near completing check out I said... you know what, let me get the medium. They arrived, and I was very excited to try them on. To the point that I thought I would be wearing them by the time the delivery person made it to their car. Upon opening the bag, the plan evaporated. They look like something for a tall toddler. These socks made me sweat, cry, and to question my entire life... in less than a minute. I couldn't get them on. I was defeated, I gave up. I felt like an adult trying on preemie clothing. Today, the weather was nicer and cooler. So, I decided to use that to my advantage and asked the universe for guidance and to help me get these bad boys on. Because compression means they should look and feel somehow... small and tight. And guess what? It worked. They are SO difficult to get on. But all you need is to make it pass your toes, pull up a bit, adjust the heels portion, and pull the rest all the way up. Yes, that very first part is the one that will make you question your weight, your inches, and your purpose in life. But once you get these compression socks up, they feel on the legs the way you emotionally feel when talking with someone who understands you. They feel like a hug in your legs, breathable, comfortable, supportive, not itchy at all. Once they are on, you will forget the struggle of having the fabric make it pass your toes. I've been wearing them for almost a full day, and all I feel is the support, like a good friend by your side. They don't crease on the back of my knee, which is a must. They stay in place and feel like nothing else, but support. It may be too soon to comment on how or if they help with my POST symptoms because I have somewhat good days, and bad days. Will have to lay attention to a pattern or less noticeable symptoms while wearing these socks. I have nothing to compare these socks with. But based on how they feel, and the stretching of the fabric, I will say I got a good quality product for a great value.

I started using thigh high compression socks a few years ago & these are the ones I always come back to. I find using latex (or non-latex) disposable gloves really helps to put these on.

i love these. they don’t roll and are great style. they don’t stay in place though. they slip down around the knees. they’re overall comfortable and thick. they feel good. 😌

They’re tight enough around the foot which I appreciate, but I have been wearing them for half the day, at home, and they have been sliding down a ton. :/

First- I am a super short chick with the smallest adult feet on the planet. Honestly, I can't even fit into an american size 4 big kid. I Usually wear a 2 big kid, and there's typically no chance with any womens shoe line- where, if I am lucky, then the line starts at size 5 and still it's like, what is the point in trying when I know they're already too big as is.. That being said- these suprisingly fit my feet well. I asume that's because they stretch so they're naturally cut smaller. Which is nice cause that means very little pool-over with my super small feet. You, most likely, have bigger feet and I expect they would stretch nicely and be fine for you too. That being said- as for the thigh high portion. I have thicker, athletic thighs and for a 5'2" or 3" ish woman- I can pull the XxL up to my cheeks, if I so choose, but I usually keep them around slightly higher than mid thigh and still there is no scruntch, and virtually NO fat-roll-muffin-spillage. They stay.. All day. Do I have to adjust a little- sure, an hour or two into alot of movement. Specifically, if I am working out in them, walking, and using my legs alot. However, when I say adjust. That means by centimeters or an inch, maybe two, and they do not roll or look fuggly. They stay up around the thickest part of my thighs, they hold their shape, and have never fallen beyond my knee. Not even close! I've worn them all day. They never look bad either. I'm very much a tights/pantyhose person and these give you that effortless kawaii thigh high look, without the hassle of full tights that rip often or have a need for garters. These are sturdy. I CAN PULL AND TUG WITHOUT FEAR! Now, I know you shouldn't dry elastics in the dryer.. But I have once already and they haven't really changed their compression very much.. If at all.. As for the compression, it feels nice. That's up to you really. I am the type of gall who likes everything tight, not loose. Which everyone else freaks out over.. So to me, it's nothing. I could size down alot and probably be fine with the compression, but I mostly got them to work out in, and occasionally an outfit or two. The compression feels tight, but a good sense of tightness. They're cute. They're tight. They're sturdy. I have yet to need a garter. I have no fear of them holding up through a workout, or sparing- plus, they also come across classy enough to dress up- if you wanted too. They're full black out, pretty much- and they can honestly go sporty, kawaii school girl, or sexy little black dress and heels. In my opinion. None be the wiser.. My husband also said that they're cute and look nice. So.. Take that as you will. Overall, top notch.. Again, i'm only reviewing this because I want these to stick around. As for the health benefits, spider veins, ect.. Unsure, but my legs DO feel great afterwards. I feel slightly more flexible in a workout when wearing them. You do actually feel them, but it's not distracting. Unless of course, you're a giant.. so I suppose that's something. I really, really like these. Will buy again.

Not this new pair, but the last 2 I purchased fall down while I am out for a daily walk. I hand wash the stockings with Dawn in cool water. I gently squeeze and roll them in a towel. Place on a towel bar to air dry. Gosh!! I take good care of them. I do like the firmness of them. I use the gloves to when putting them on. I am so disappointed. Hopefully this new pair which is still in the package will not do this.

Let me tell you, putting these support stockings on is not for the faint of heart. It’s cardio, strength training, and yoga all in one. I broke a sweat. I questioned my life choices. At one point, I thought I’d need a spotter. But once I wrangled them on—sweet compression! The firmness felt like a gentle leg hug from a very strong, very supportive aunt who does Pilates. Instantly, my tired, achy legs perked up like they'd just had a motivational TED Talk. Yes, they’re tight. Yes, getting them on feels like trying to stuff a sleeping bag back into its case. But once they’re on? Magic. Circulation: improved. Comfort: surprising. Sass: increased. Will I buy more? Absolutely. Just maybe after I recover from round one. Oh, another pair arrives tomorrow. Thanks Amazon!

My Aunt is an OB/GYN and highly recommended these to me because of how bad the swelling was in my first pregnancy, and now my second pregnancy. I have swelling in my feet, ankles, legs, knees, and thighs and I wish I had ordered them sooner. I'm 32 weeks pregnant with a full time desk job, I walk for 25 to 30 minutes 4 times a week, and I wear these stockings from 6:30 AM to 8 PM. As soon as I get my little one to bed I peel them off (which is much easier than putting them on). I have no swelling or pain in my feet, ankles, or legs and I can walk around without wincing in pain at the end of the night. My dislikes are: having a huge belly that gets in the way of putting them on easily, and adjusting them after getting them on is rubbing my knuckles raw. Putting them on is the hardest and most uncomfortable part of these stockings but they are completely worth it.

I bought these as a cheaper alternative to the usual $200 custom pair I buy to help manage the varicose veins in my legs. I’ve been wearing them for days now and find they are working well and comfortable. First couple days they felt pretty tight and I wasn’t sure if I got the right size but I’m getting use to them. They stay up on my legs thankfully that was a issue I was worried about. Definitely recommend for anyone who suffers from varicose veins. I’ll be purchasing more in the future.

I chose size small. I’m usually a small. 5”5 120 lbs. thin.. they are very very tight. Overall I like them. They’re a bit hard to get on but they are the right size. Good quality. They come up to the top on my like like I wanted. I give them 5 stars.

Soo goood

I am 5 ft 0" and I bought the full toe, toes open, and these--ankle exposed. It seems a fine product, quality- wise so normal people are fine. But when you are fun size it's the best of the 3 options. I am waiting for the full toe to arrive, but the open toe was long on me--When I ran out of leg, there was still material to be pulled up. If you are of average height, this is a wonderful product with heavy compression.

The Thigh High Compression Socks offer firm support with 20-30 mmHg gradient compression. Primarily designed for a range of conditions and activities, including running, edema, varicose veins, pregnancy, and nursing, these stockings perform well in terms of compression. As you would expect from a product offering 20-30 mmHg compression, these socks deliver satisfactory compression. This level of compression can assist in improving blood flow, reducing swelling, and offering relief from conditions like edema and varicose veins. However, potential buyers should be aware of potential fit issues, particularly if you have wider thighs. Despite following the provided size chart, I found that the stockings raised all the way under my butt cheeks, causing discomfort. With wider thighs, it felt as though the stockings were cutting off blood flow rather than promoting it. It seems this product might be better suited for individuals with thinner thighs. As such, while the Thigh High Compression Socks deliver on their promised compression level, the sizing could be a concern for some. Make sure to consider your personal measurements and comfort when considering this product. Due to the fit issues, I would rate these socks 3 out of 5 stars.
