Physix Gear Compression Socks 20-30 mmHg - Men & Women - Running, Nurses, Shin Splints, Flight, Travel

Very highly recommended. For years I used Jobst (after having cellulitis); they were good, but very expensive (> $60 per pair!). This was from a local medical supply store and were probably overpriced (but 15 years ago, maybe not so much). When I needed new socks, I went on Amazon and got some much cheaper Spandex types (~ $12); they were okay, but very tight, and very hard to get on and off. Both Jobst and Spandex brands got holes in the heels. These Physix are very, very good and not too expensive (1/3 the cost of Jobst). The are textured and slide on fairly easily and slide off fairly easily as well. They have a sturdy feel and in that way are similar to Jobst (the Spandex ones were very thin). They stay up on my leg, near the knee (Jobst did not). And they are very comfortable. We'll see how well they hold up over time. I usually buy two pair and switch on and off. I already bought a total of four pair of these (the price will only go up) and hope they will last well. Looking for a good compression stocking? Try these out.

As a nurse, I can tell a huge difference in how my legs and feet feel when wearing compression socks. I've been wearing them for 7 years many days or nights when I work. They reduce fatigue and also keep swelling down in my ankle that I've had a couple of surgeries on in the past. The swelling reduction is very important for me because my ankle hurts when it swells too much, and 12-14 hour shifts inevitably do that. Add my current pregnancy and the accompanying swelling, restless legs that come all the time, and fatigue from hell, and I figured it was time to upgrade a bit. So I came to Amazon. I've owned many pairs of compression socks over the years. I usually purchased them at scrub stores (some cheaper than these, some around the same price). I wear a size 10 shoe and usually get a large compression sock to fit my feet into. A problem I run into a lot is that compression socks compress under my knee too much or don't come up quite enough (that could be my fault. I get tired of yanking on them before I should). To be fair, I'm fat. My legs aren't huge, but I can pinch some fat by my knee if I try. So some tightness is okay. But I don't want to cut my circulation off. These are a bit priceier than some other options on Amazon that look similar. I ordered one pair due to the stellar reviews. I also ordered some that were less than half the price that also had great reviews. Out of the package, I could immediately tell these were higher quality than the others (I'd hope so at more than twice the price). The material is thick (not too thick) and soft. The pink and black colors were nice. Compared to the others, the material alone seemed to make up for some of the price difference. Applying them was made easier by the pattern on the foot (most of my others are either solid or the entire sock has a certain pattern). They stretched easily enough to make application a bit less unpleasant than usual. I didn't have to fight with them for them to sit at the correct place on my leg. Fast forward 14 hours - my legs felt similarly to any other compression sock. I did notice my ankle was less swollen than with other socks though, which is great. Taking them off is easy enough. They did leave a lovely pattern on my legs (a diamond pattern as opposed to most of my socks that leave horizontal lines). They didn't leave the usual level of indentation under my knee. Compared to the cheaper ones, these are fantastic. I plan to order more. I've washed these probably 20 times and have noticed no change in them from new. Oh and make sure to air dry your compression socks. The dryer is wayyy too hot (even on low) - and will destroy compression socks. Think of all that elastic! Give this brand a try. Your legs are so worth it.

I enjoy these compression socks. I've used them a few times and they work well for compression and are comfortable. On me they go up to my knees and just a tiny bit past. I have the ones with the pink flowers on the foot/ankle. They're attractive. They go on as easily as any compression socks, meaning that when you use them and are familiar with them they go very well and easily, but there is a bit of a learning curve at the beginning. For compression socks they are on the low end of cost, which makes me very happy. If I could tell @Physix Gear Sport Store anything, I would love some of these floral compression socks with purple flowers and purple toe, as I'm much more of a purple woman than a pink woman. I have the XL socks and they fit well on my 15-16 inch calves, and size 10ish shoe-feet. If they come out with purple and even red (no orange) I'd purchase more.

I bought several pairs a few years ago. I use them for long flights, long car trips, long field walks (several hours with a backpack; not around the block with the dog), etc. They are very good at their job, although they may become a little clammy and uncomfortable in very hot days and toward the end of a long walk. I would recommend them for cool conditions. I bought two pairs for my father in law and he loves them, and uses them almost on a daily basis. They still look like new. Very good product.

I really like these knee-high compression socks. They reduced swelling around my ankles and make my legs feel terrific all day long. They are very tight at first, but as time passes they become comfortable. I’m going to buy a second pair.

These are fantastic. They fit great and I love the color. The toe seam hasn’t ripped from washing. The leg support is great. My legs don’t hurt after wearing these 8 hours. My legs feel great when I take them off. I absolutely love these. The 20-30 mmHg is great way better than the 15 20 I was wearing from another brand.

I own two pairs of Physix Gear Stamina compression socks. The first I bought on Amazon Spring 2017; the 2nd in the Summer. I wear them every day. The support and fit are unbelievably excellent!!! As for my legs, since I've been wearing these socks, standing for long periods of time clearing brush and doing other yard work, I no longer have edema or red sore blotches of irritated skin forming in my lower legs from venous insufficiency. [Note: I'm not a doctor and NO PART of this review is to be construed as medical advice but is merely what I have done for myself. If you have a medical condition or problem, go to your doctor.] With diet modifications of salt reduction, and with the addition of Vitamin D3 with K2, (100mcg K2 per 1000 IU D3), 2-3x/day, 1/4-1/2 tsp cayenne pepper / 1-2x/day, 1-2 Gr buffered 2-stage time-released real Vitamin-C daily, 1-2 cans sardines in water or mustard per day, which is containing Vit. D3, Vitamin E, Calcium, Protein, EPA + DHA (Omega-3 fatty acids), 1/2 - 1 tsp powdered Magnesium citrate daily, and zero pharmaceuticals, my blood system has become healthier. and the dark blotches of skin discoloration from previous hemosiderin staining, chronic varicose, venous insufficiency have faded and reduced. According to my research (And you SHOULD do your own!), K2 with D3 and magnesium helps support the body's ability to direct ingested calcium into bones, instead of into veins and arteries. and may help reduce veinous calcification, thus possibly reducing heart-attack risks. Cayenne helps your body find alternate blood routes and supports venous internal cleansing. Back to the socks... They're great for support, BUT the quality of their design and construction is lacking. The choice of material used above and forward of the 'heel cup' area, is EXTREMELY POOR and wears out VERY QUICKLY. If you wear them daily as I do, don't expect a pair to last more than 2 months, before the arch material tears, gets a run, develops a hole, and needs to be mended, or the sock needs to be thrown away. Why? It's the 'striped' material that is the low quality part. The solid colored main sock material black and grey, blue, etc. 'heel cup' and 'toe area' material are GREAT - and last a LONG TIME!!! But I guess they have to make them poorer quality so that they wear out sooner so you'll buy more. But at $19 a pair, unless you're a millionaire, that isn't all that great a deal. But if you are one, do you really want to invest in a liability rather than an asset? So, how have I made it for 2 years with two pairs? Simple, but not so easy. I cut good, strong nylon or polyester material out of old gym shorts and shirts, pulled out a needle, some thread and sewed patches on the worn out areas, cutting out the bad parts. The first few times, I did this by hand. The one in the picture, I did mostly by machine. Much, much faster by machine!! It takes me about 45 minutes to repair one sock by hand and less than 10 minutes by machine. Note: To make a patch, cut a triangle of material 8" x 8" x 7", as the patch will need to be about 6" long x 5" wide - for Men's XL socks. If doing by hand, a chain stitch works well, at about 3/16" from material edges. And with polyester or nylon material, the edges won't fray like cotton, so you won't have to fuss with hemming. If done by machine, be sure to back stitch at the start and final stitch to reduce the possibility of the stitches coming out, About every 3-4 months I have to resew them. Btw, I'm a 6'2" 242# man. I work outside, lots of standing, walking, medium to heavy physical work in sturdy work boots. These socks keep my feet cool in the Spring and Summer and warm in the Fall and Winter. Rarely do I need extra socks over them in the winter. But if my feet may get wet, yes. I'd like to find better quality compression socks, that don't need constant repair. If you know of any better ones, please give me a heads up. Thanks a million! Take care.

My husband is 77 and still works doing residential construction 40 plus hours a week. He wears these socks every day and also on the weekends. This is the second time ordering these socks because after 2 years of wear, they lose a little of their compression. The socks are comfortable with the perfect amount of support and they are affordable. As a side note, after washing them I always air dry them. Highly recommend these socks.

Excellent socks great quality good support. I’m using them after vein surgery every day since I stopped having to wear medical support stockings as I do a lot of walking. They are tight to put on may need to lie down to get them on correctly but once on very comfortable. Will buy more.

These are a fantastic pair of socks I got them for when I go running but have started to use them at work as well as I'm on my feet for 12 hrs a day, these socks have stopped all aches and pains I used to suffer from while at work they're so comfortable that I forget I'm wearing them. I rinse them through with warm water and they don't seem to hold any odour, I will be buying more pairs of them soon and have recommended them to a few friends and family members. I would definitely recommend buying these if you suffer with any pain while on your feet all day

Buena calidad aunque apreciaría más compresión pero es cosa de tener las piernas tan finas como las tengo

Quando faccio le lunghe camminate le gambe risultano appesantite, una certa difficoltà di ritorno venoso si inizia a sentire, anche sul lavoro sto molto in piedi. Avevo provato alcune calze a compressione ma spesso mi segnavano in alto, lasciandomi il dubbio che alla fine l'elastico fermasse la circolazione più che aiutarla. Quelle Decathlon per esempio hanno avuto questo difetto. Queste sono lunghe, la parte alta in realtà sarebbe finita oltre il ginocchio, quindi rimane un po' piegata, ma l'elastico morbido e consistente non mi ha segnata affatto, un effetto tipo calzettoni da calcio. Sono rimaste su perfettamente e non davano quel senso di compressione eccessiva che fa venire voglia di toglierle appena a casa. Gambe più leggere e piede non infuocato. Decisamente approvate. Per la durata ancora non so, ma ho fiducia.

Molto bene tutto, articolo come da descrizione
