Run Forever Compression Socks for Men & Women 20-30mmHg Medical Grade Graduated Stockings

These are sturdy, well made and just right for my needs in compression socks.

These socks are surprisingly comfortable. I wasn't too happy when my doctor suggested I start wearing compression socks. I was so surprised at how well made they are and how much better my legs felt. In fact, I decided to only wear them at night, but the next morning I changed my mind and wore them all day. Great support, great price, good fit. I will be ordering more.

I wish it were the pink that the pic shows. Neon pink is a bit bold for my taste. Nice fabric though. Comfy. So far so good. (One star reduced for color not well represented. The difference for me between the pic's pink and neon pink is the difference between me liking the color and not liking the color. A lighter, softer pink would complement the grey so much better too.) They will work but won't be ordering another due to the color. Note to company: make the pink match the medium pink of the sock pic, and I'll order multiple pairs. I love THAT pink. I also bought a blue pair. Returning for a replacement pair or at least a replacement sock. One sock was great. The other blue sock had poor stitching where the blue and grey colors meet. The stitching wasn't weak, it just looked bad due to many grey stitches bleeding into the blue area. I want a nice clean boundary line of stitching, esp. in areas where my eyes can easily glance down and see. With a nice replacement pair with good stitching, I'd give that pair a higher score. I'm trying one large pair and one medium to see how I like the different sizes as my sizing fit in both. I appreciate that this company doesn't try to make each sock fit 4 a range of four sizes. The sizing chart really appealed to me. Fix the pink color and the stitching and 5 stars will be given. Final notes: They do provide compression although it doesn't feel like the amount provided by my other 20-30mmHg socks. (And I'm judging this while wearing the smaller of my 2 pairs.) They do help keep my legs from aching though so perhaps consider them on the light side of their range with the bonus of lovely fabric next to the skin.

I ordered my first pair of Run Forever Socks early January 2017 (Black, size Large). I was very impressed with these socks! I have been on the "hunt" for the perfect compression socks for me since 12/2015. I have literally tried over a dozen different brands. Sometimes the foot area is too large, despite what is indicated on the size chart, or sometimes the foot fits, but the calf is just too tight, likely designed for people with slimmer calves. Often the fits is fine, but the fabric isn't very soft or moisture wicking. I really love wearing Run Forever socks! I wanted to wear and wash them a few times to get a complete opinion before reviewing. Here are some reasons these socks are my favorite and work so well: -- Soft and comfortable cotton blend feel - not too thick and bulky, not too thin either. So many compression socks have a synthetic, nylon feel - I often have to wear low-cut socks OVER the compression socks to be cool and comfortable in my shoes all day. -- The foot area of the sock fits my foot perfectly (I wear women's US size 11 1/2 athletic shoe/ EU 44 - 17" calf) - no extra heel area showing or heel pulled up to ankle area to fit comfortably in shoes. -- The sock comes right up to my knee where it should; no shortage in length, and more importantly, no excess to roll or fold over which causes excessive, uncomfortable tightness around top of calf. -- The socks remain right where I place them in the morning with no slipping or adjustments needed all day and evening until ready to remove for showering. -- I appreciate the fact that there are not any designs or logos woven into the calf area, just a clean, sleek, smooth appearance. The only thing I would like to see change, would be the added option to purchase a sock with firmer compression in the 30-40 mmHg range. I often want to wear maximum compression socks several times a week, so I am still on the lookout for a brand that works for me with an increased level of firmness.

I love these compression socks! I order new ones every six months due to my doctor said to do this to maintain consistent elasticity for my blood clot disorder as a prevention measure. I have no trouble when I put these socks on and feel like actual socks and do not feel like compression socks. The socks were very affordable, stay in place, not too hot, and fit great per the size chart.

My husband had a knee replacement in January and the therapist recommended compression socks 20-30. I had ordered a size large as his shoe size is a 12. The foot portion didn't fit his foot. I exchanged them for an extra large so size up. However, the socks are so tight the swelling in his knee is not going down and there is an indentation where the top of the sock is. The therapist want him to discontinue wearing the socks as they aren't doing the job. I will be returning them. It may be my husband's wide calves; I don't know but they aren't doing the job of reducing his swelling. Thank you Amazon for taking these back and for the warranty from the manufacturer.

Everything comes as expected

I have been wearing the same brand of compression stocks for years. I have always purchased the large size. This time when I repeated the order in the same large size, the actual size of the socks received is much smaller compared to my earlier purchases. Earlier the socks were made in Taiwan. These ones I received are made in China. This is very disappointing.
