SB SOXLite Compression Socks for Men & Women (15-20mmHg) – Best Compression Socks for Travel, Sports, and Daily Wear - XXL Sizes too!

Very comfortable, and fit well

I have worn a number of different brands of Compression Socks, many with well-known brand names, over the past several years because of a medical condition's effect on the veins and blood circulation in my calves. Some brands of compression socks I've worn felt good when I put them on, but were less than comfortable by the end of the day. Some brands stayed up where they were supposed to be for a few wearings, then their elastic began to stretch out, even when they were hand-washed in cool water and air-dried on a laundry rack instead of in an automatic clothes washer and dryer, allowing the socks to slide down my calf, providing no compression value at all to my legs (which was why I bought them in the first place). The dyes used on some of the other brands would start to fade out amazingly fast, making them look like they needed to be thrown away, even though they still felt good and were providing the support and compression the veins in my legs required.Needing to replace a few pairs of my compression socks that were very worn out after only a few months of wearing, I saw the SB SOX Lite Compression Socks on Amazon.com and decided to give them a try. I put the first two pairs of SB SOX I purchased into my normal compression socks wearing rotation. From the first time I put them on (and they were fairly easy to put on right out of the box), they felt very good on my legs and made my legs feel great, even after a full day's wearing. They didn't make my upper calf, just below the knee, feel like I had boa constrictors wrapped around my legs, squeezing them until they ached. They were also easy to remove when I prepared to go to bed. They are obviously made from high quality materials because they have washed very well and maintained their "just like new" appearance after being worn, washed and dried several times over several months. They are also very well made, with no broken seams and no loose loops of elastic or threads inside the socks to snag or catch on my toes or toenails as I put them on. I quickly ordered two more pairs of SB SOX Lite Compression Socks because I liked the first two pairs so much. SB SOX are the best Lite Compression Socks I have ever worn, including some brands that cost two or three times as much, providing me with better support, longer and looking great doing it. Another reason I like the SB SOX better than any other compression socks I've owned is the box they come in. I can keep each pair of SB SOX in the box they were in when I received them, and I can keep them together, but separated, in my sock drawer without getting them mixed up with my other non-compression socks, which keeps me from wearing a mixed pair of socks by mistake.So if your doctor tells you it would be good for you to start wearing Lite Compression Socks, instead of regular socks, do yourself a BIG favor and buy two or more pairs of SB SOX Lite Compression Socks. Your feet, legs and heart will thank you many, many times if you do.

Comfortable, great looking socks for medium compression.

This review is for the SB SOX LITE (15-20mmHg Size L/XL) The fabric is really nice and smooth, they are nicely made and good quality, no irritating seam inside the toe, the foot size and length up to the knee are both great (I wear an 8 1/2 shoe size and stand at about 5'4'' with a calf circumference of 17 and 1/2 inches), and I did manage to get them on by myself, however, it was a struggle. It took some time and effort. I would love to love these compression socks, but they simply will not work for me because they were extremely tight and uncomfortable, and do not stretch. Hence the 4 stars instead of 5. If you are a skinny mini, then these are the socks for you. Sadly, I am unable to wear them and will continue shopping for the perfect pair of socks.

Great price? Great fit, great, look, providing the compression needed to keep my circulatory system of my legs in tip top shape.Bought five pair of the argyle blue for myself and my wife just wanted the all black, so she got five pair for mother's day.

the socks look good and feel good to the touch but good luck putting them on. I ordered the large 20-30 mg socks and couldn't get them on even using a helper device. reordered the XL 15-20 mg socks, no better luck. I realize that compression socks are supposed to compress but they don't work if you can't get them on. I have been able to get my former compression socks on but unfortunately they wore out and are no longer available. I think the big difference is the material they are made out of

These 15-20mg socks are the best I have found. The material holds up to running in the washer after each use, holds its compression level over time and I think is nice looking. I have tried the cheaper ones that shrink after washing and lose compression. (With lesser compression they are easy to put on and take off.) I have tried cotton ones that shrink after washing. Because these have better compression than others, they are moderately harder to put on and take off. I think the extra effort is well worth it. However, some will find it too challenging. I have purchased several of these socks as they are the most effective for me.
