Quality with style!
I use a wire contraction to get these these guys on (available here on Amazon). The are firm and exceedingly comfortable. The argyle design is a bonus! I’m a happy camper!

Great Compression, Not Too Tight or Loose
Update (August 2018): I have the beginnings of varicose veins, and I wear these socks every few days. These compression socks are wearing well although fluff is forming where the embroidery says SB Sox on the feet of the socks. The elasticity is still almost as good as when the socks were purchased.Any time my legs feel tight, heavy, achy, or restless, I just put these socks on and within 10 minutes I’m feeling relief. I’ve found that if I wear these socks for a day, the effect seems to last for two following days before my legs start feeling tight and progressively heavy, achy, and restless again. I have worn these socks during the night when my legs were really restless and painful, and they felt perfectly fine in the morning. These socks have also greatly reduced the swelling in my legs and ankles, which was a shock to me because I hadn’t realized they were swollen to begin with!I know it’s not recommended that these socks be worn overnight, but I was desperate and it doesn’t seem to have had any negative effects. It’s also recommended that people with varicose veins should wear compression socks every day. It’s just a hassle to put on. It takes me about three minutes to get the socks on. I think I will have to get myself into the routine though, as they really, REALLY help! I have since bought four more pairs of these socks, and I’m hoping to eventually buy enough for a fresh pair every day.I 100% recommend these socks. I know they’re a bit pricey compared to other socks on the market, but they are VERY good. They work. They work for me and they’re changing my life.Original Review (March 2018):I bought these compression socks in the S/M size. These socks have great compression without making my legs feel like the circulation is getting cut off. Only time will tell regarding whether they help my legs, but I have high hopes for these socks. I am of average weight for my height, so I cannot vouch for the fit for underweight or overweight individuals.The material and stitching are high quality, and feels slinky and slippery, which is nice as they allow pant legs to move freely around them. This slinky texture might be a problem when walking on tiles or vinyl, and I would recommend wearing sandals or shoes to prevent slipping. The colours and item as a whole are true to the product images.

Great product, great price, great service.
These are great compression socks. I used them for the gym, running outside for OCR training and I even left them on after the gym (they stayed so dry) and changed in to dress clothes and wore them with dress shoes and a a suit! I had a business trip that day and spent 10 hours in the car and after working out my legs were really fatigued. These really helped make the workout more comfortable, but also the long ride following it more bearable.I had some USPS issues with my first order, which isn’t that surprising as USPS delivery timelines aren’t as tight as other carriers, but the manufacturer responded quickly to my request and sent me a free of charge a pair expedited.These are every bit as good as other compression socks I’ve used for running and working out. They really help with shin splints and prevent fatigue. They are great for things where jumping is involved too (Mov Nat, Crossfit, etc.). They are great with moisture and priced really well. They fit true to size.

Too tight for me and do not stretch.
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.

First impression is very good!
Although under my wife’s account, I’m the husband and buyer and a brand new user of these types of socks. Have worn one pair twice and another pair once, so far. Quality is excellent, fit is fine for my size 12 wide and swollen feet. Excellent and comfortable fit at calf (I’m 5’9″ and 215 lbs, and big boned) and they almost reach to my knees. Not too short and not too long. Does the job with my mild to moderate combination of lymphedema and peripheral edema. I’m planning on buying a week’s worth of these socks. Since my edema is fairly recent (6 months or less) and not excessive, these pairs are just tight enough to avoid further damage while not being too constricting. Putting them on takes three to four times longer than putting on a regular pair of socks, but what else can you expect from tight, long socks? Quite honestly, once on, they’re comfortable! My trial with 2 pairs is successful and good enough to invest in more.The evening disrobing of the socks reveals total success. I can see my ankles, my legs and feet aren’t swollen and, yes, even my weight has gone down (water weight is now lessened!).There do not appear to be any restrictions on washing these socks, but I’ll be using the machine with warm/cold settings to increase life-expectancy of these. My understanding is that hot water can damage the elastic in these types of socks. Treat your investment (the socks as well as the investment in your health) with care. We’ll see what happens over a period of six months, but assuming 26 uses in 6 months, my hope is to see little to no difference. HMM, perhaps I’ll buy one extra pair, put it away for 6 months and do a new vs used review later! I’ll want to know as much as you will want me to post that finding!

I suffer with edema and normally wear surgical socks. These socks look and feel like normal socks and are much more comfortable to wear.
