VitalsoxPatented Graduated Compression Socks

These are great compression socks. I have diabetes and have occasional nerve pain in my feet. Putting these on just makes my feet feel so much better, and they are higher quality and warmer than the medical compression socks. I don't know anything about relative compression levels. All I know is that these work wonders. I also exercise in them and like the fact that they have a sporty look, since I feel like a dork rocking the medical socks. I've got them in just about all the colors; I figure if I look ridiculous enough, it looks like I'm being cool hahaha. Go ahead and get some knee high orange socks and rock that greenway :PBy the way, I wear a men's size 10 shoe, have proportional sized calves (not bird legged hehe), and the mediums fit me just fine. My wife is overweight and actually needs the large size for them to be comfortable. Unless you've got tiny or enormous feet, think about how large your calves are when placing your order.

I'm training for the Susan B Komen "3-Day for the Cure" walk, so I wanted to try out compression socks for the long distances AND I also wanted some very fashionable PINK socks... well, I found them! I trained for a few weeks before I got them in just regular socks with no major blisters (but still present), swelling in my legs, and the like. Nothing serious or too painful, but I definitely required a lot of stretching after the walk as my legs were just tired.Once I bought these socks I tried them on. First impression... they are SOFT and THICK!! Huge plus since I'll be racking up the miles in these babies (the event is 20 miles a day for 3 days = 60 miles). Next, they came up above my knees (or pretty darn close), but I'm only 5'1", so I'm used to anything I buy not being made for short people. I just pushed them down below my knees and they were fine. Still very fashionable. :D Last... the walk and my results after. Yeah, walked the same pace, same distance, and everything. My feet and legs felt great! I felt like I could walk another 10 miles that day. They weren't tired, no blisters, and even the next day my legs didn't feel too tired like previous days they had. Basically, I could tell a difference and I wasn't just trying to look for a difference.I've walked a few days since this without my compression socks (I only bought 3 pair so far), and I can always feel a difference in my legs, especially my calves and ankles. They're tired, "heavy", and a little swollen. I would definitely recommend them for anyone who is doing this walk. I love them, love the way they look, and am going to buy more now that I really know how they feel for training and the day of the event. :D

I have purchased at least 5 different brands - some are good, but none are as nice and comfy as the Vitalsox. The best thing about this sock besides the compression is the padded sole. This is a necessity to me, even with ultra soft insoles in my shoes. I run about 70 miles a month, not a lot maybe but enough that makes my feet want a soft impact. This sock fits well in all my running shoes (Brooks, and Asics) doesn't slip, seams are not irritating, they don't bunch up, they stay up, they fit just below my knee and support the knee well. Another brand I bought (high end and expensive) didn't go up high enough and the sole was too thin. This is not only an affordable sock, it's better than those that cost twice as much and the compression supports the calf, helping shin splints to stay at a minimum. Ankle compression is excellent, giving support where I need it. Can't say enough good things about it. These really do help, not only in running but recovery.

Compression socks can be pricey so when I saw these for around $20, I was a little skeptical but they had good reviews so I decided to purchase. I purchased a Medium and I wear a women's size 9 and they fit almost perfectly. They tend to stretch out just a little but nothing too bad. They feel very comfortable to wear and definitely make a difference in my post-exercise soreness. I am a busy mom and tend to be on my feet all day so I'll wear these to bed even if I haven't worked out that day and I wake up feeling great. They really seem to help alleviate any minor swelling in my feet and ankles and I like how they feel around my shins and calves. They are a bit long for me and come up on my knees slightly which I don't like. I usually just fold them down to feel more comfortable. A really good product for the price.

I LOVE these socks! I have what is best described as slow capillary emptying in my legs when for long periods of time I sit, stand or do things like shop where I stand more than move. My lower legs get very red and somewhat swollen. When I know I will be standing or even sitting at my desk for more than a few hours I wear these and my legs have energy, no redness and no swelling. I also wear when traveling- either flying or driving if over a couple hours...They are miraculous and fit GREAT. (I am a woman size 7.5-8 shoe and I wear a SMALL) I now have them in Red, Blue, Orange, Pink, Purple and black. sometimes I wear with a cute skirt and always with little converse or running shoes- I don't care if people think I look like a school girl or Girl Scout! haha. BTW- In the winter they fit great in boots too.

I’ve used these socks for harder runs, and I feel they help to somewhat reduce my tendency to get shin splints. It may be some placebo effect, but I don’t really care either way. I know the jury is out on whether compression socks help during an event (nowadays you don’t see many pro athletes wearing them) but I’ve worn this sock for long tempo runs, long runs, and my last three marathons. It can be worn for distance without rubbing or causing sore spots. I generally keep them on for a couple of hours after a long run to try to aid recovery. On hot days I don’t find they get too warm, but on cold days they do help. Overall this is a sock I keep coming back to and re-buying because I don’t really want to experiment with anything else for my distance races.

Elles serrent presque autant que des véritables chaussettes de contention.

Comprimen y transpiran, de momento los he usado poco así que no se como resistirán pero estoy muy contento con eolos. Los calcetines son cómodos y me gustan esteticamente.

I find comfortable to wear. It seems to have the required compression pressure, though I am not sure about its durability.

These make shift work so much better. While working extended shifts on your feet, these are a great investment.By the end of a shift, my feet and legs no longer feel achy, my knees feel better, and these keep their shape very well (just hang to dry, avoid using a dryer).I have two pairs and they have held up extremely well. Highly recommended!

Great socks. Feel very smooth and well made including material. You have to put them on differently then regular socks because of the compression. You can definitely feel them working as soon as they are put on. They are not padded in the shin but they have worked great when deadlifting. Highly recommended, i will be getting another pair in a different colour.
