Thorlos Unisex Adult's 12 Hour Shift Thick Padded Over-The-Calf Work Socks

Over the years I have tried Copper Compression socks and while they aren't bad compression socks they don't hold up if you wear them while working. I've tried Dickie's compression socks. Those hold up well in a work environment but the way they compress your leg is weird. Some compression on the foot, next to none on the ankle and calf then high compression near the top. Makes them uncomfortable if you wear them for a long time because the top part cuts into your leg. I've tried no name brand from LIVSOX store, those felt like plastic bags. I've tried Amazon Brand Solimo socks. WAY to thin to last even as dress socks. And I've tried Futuro compression socks. These are good dress socks. They look nice and are fairly comfortable. But don't try to work in them. Nor are they comfortable for around the house. Finally I have tried these socks. The Thorlos over calf compression socks are darn near perfect. I have had these for almost 2 months now. I work in them, I slouch around the house in then, they have been through 6+ wash cycles. No sign of wear. And boy are these comfortable! It's like wearing knit socks your Grammy made without the itch when you sweat. The compression is perfectly scaled. Nice amount on the feet. Not to much not to little. Good amount on the ankle and shins and the calf and the end cuff is nice and gentle. Does not cut into your leg even after a 14 hour shift. I really can not say enough positive things about these socks. If you need compression socks for home or work, GET THESE!

These have padding in the right spots and are comfortable. Will buy again.

I didn't think I would ever purchase $20 socks but sure glad I did. I work at a steel mine. I'm on my feet for 12 hour days in the crappiest places you could imagine. Most of that is walking on concrete or steel floor grating. It's a pretty big deal to find the best and comfiest work boots you can wear. I recently purchased Wolverine Durashock boots but for some reason my boots kept pulling my socks down. I was constantly stopping every few minutes to pull my socks back up. It was driving me crazy! I went to a local sporting goods store and bought a pair of "Darn Tough" socks that are made in Vermont. They were pretty high end socks but I was desperate to find socks that would not fall down in my boot. Needless to say they to fell off my calf and down to my ankles. I started doing some sock research and found the Thorlos. After reading some of the reviews I decided to purchase one pair to see if they would work for me. Again, I'm on my feet for most of the day walking on concrete and steel grating. These Thorlos socks preformed so well. I never once had to stop during the day to pull up my socks. They were snug but so comfortable to wear. Usually with other socks I wore in the past my socks were wet at the end of the day. Not so with the Thorlos socks. My feet were dry. I was so impressed that I brought my newly wore socks home to wash so I could wear them the next day. I ended up buying 3 more pair so I could have 4 pairs for my 4 day work set. I like the fact that they are made in the USA and warrantied for life! You can't go wrong with that! I wear a size 10 boot and bought large socks. They're a perfect fit! I'll be buying more of these Thorlos 12 hr shift work socks.

I work in retail, and I also have severe neuropathy. It can take a toll on my feet. I don't need a pair of full-on compression socks, but I need something that won't slip down my leg. I have tried Diabetic Sock Club, which is pure junk. They slip and have no durability. I bought my Thorlos under the recommendation from a friend who has spent his whole life in the food service industry. These are one of the best socks I have ever owned. (I do still have a pair of Mephistos that are over 22 years old.) These guys stay up all day long and provide comfortable but not restrictive compression that has helped me more than any sock I have ever tried. I buy a pair every pay period and so far have been thrilled with them. Buy a pair and thank me later.

I bought the xl 12-15, I wear a 13 wide, these are tight, I wore them before washing and after, they are tight. I have other Thorlos with a blade thread at the toe. Great socks, could not find them, they were in the Postal Worker approved items before. Don’t get me wrong not sure how long they will work out, I only order 3 pair to try, will update later. I try and buy items made in USA.

I am an RN, on my feet all day. My feet were hurting badly, every day, all day. Until I started wearing these!! I won't wear anything BUT these now! Great socks and truly for "12 hours!" LOVE them!

I like these a lot. Very comfortable sole, and good for long shifts.

Well I've been a Thorlo fan for a while now but these are probably the best socks I've ever tried. How can socks make feet less tired is beyond me but they truly are comfortable?! The extra padding thickness definitely helps without making my feet hot. And the enhanced elastic section seems to strengthen my arch area providing support. Lastly these stay in place and do not creep down the calves. Well worth the money.
