A bit more stylish for our modern times
I've unfortunately had large varicose veins on my left leg since suffering an injury years ago. They are quite unsightly and oftentimes painful! Someone once told be about compression socks to manage them, but I always dismissed the idea. For I immediately envisioned those cumbersome, flesh coloured medical stockings the hospitals prescribe and so didn't want anything to do with them! But of course, as the problems with my veins continued to persist it became more of a "needs must" moment. So once I started looking on Amazon I quickly discovered that actually there are some very practical and fairly stylish options available. I might just be vain (no pun intended) but I don't see why in modern times we can't have more aesthetic items, even if they are mostly for treating injury or illness. Anyway, these particular compression socks really caught my eye. They are like something you often see athletes wearing on the track. So after buying two packs (6 pairs) and wearing them for a few months I can finally leave a more detailed review:The fit is really good... Once you break them in that is. As they can be quite tight fitting (more than would be expected) on their first wear. But not to worry as this soon resolves itself, especially after their first wash. In regards to washing I found that leaving out fabric softener can help maintain their elasticity. The material itself is very hard wearing but comfortable! One of my top concerns with buying compression socks was if they would suffer the same fate as normal socks; the dreaded toe / heel holes! But so far after daily use, both at work and at home, and by rotating the order in which I wear each pair they have remained most resilient. Another concern was breathability, especially in the warmer weather. But again, even while at work wearing thick trousers and heavy work boots, I've not noticed any real increase in temperature. Mostly because the material is very stretchy and breathable, allowing air to flow through quite admirably; my leg hairs even poke through! Finally I was concerned that they would start to sag and roll down my legs over time and I'd spend the whole day hitching them up! Particularly as they fit the best just below the knee, even though they can stretch a little higher. But even while this does actually happen to a small extent, requiring you to give them a little tug back into place. It's nothing major and most importantly, isn't going to affect their function, as they remain tight on the parts that matter most.Ultimately they are good looking compression socks built for an active lifestyle. Giving you the compression you need without feeling like a pair of old socks. For me the price is reasonable for what you get, but of course that's a matter of personal preference.

Brilliant. They work. Have bought more.
Swelling went right down. Amazing! Got more socks for my birthday in all black. Only need to wear them twice a fortnight now. Berforehand, I had to go up 1 size in shoes for the longest time with all the swelling, but within a few days of wearing these, swelling is gone. I have many new pairs of size 4 shoes and boots and its all thanks to these socks. Two knee operations and constant leg and feet swelling thereafter for years. I wish I had found these years ago. They really work. Just make sure you get the right size. I bought others that were much too long on the foot and were much more expensive but because they were too big on the foot, the compression was not there in the foot, only the leg. These are true to size. I take 4 to 5 in a UK shoe and have standard leg size, NOT little skinny legs. I bought small. Sure they are a just a little tight getting on but it is well worth it. My legs and feet feel light as a feather instead of a tree log. You can wear them all day. I tend to wear them if I know I have a heavy day or if I go shopping and the like. Very good product. My feet are getting skinnier every time I look. Very satisfied. Will definitely buy again.

Very firm but a good fit
They're well made and well fitted, conforming well to the ankle and foot. One reservation I have, and why I withheld a star, is that they offer very firm compression, so much so that they can be a bit of a struggle to get on and off, and I don't have big calves at all. I have to say though that once on, the fit makes them surprisingly comfortable given the amount of support on offer. If you're after something very firm though, they're well worth a try. They're very well priced too.

Compression Socks
These looked very good at a very reasonable price too . I have kept them but was going to return , they fit great but are very tight to get on and the other annoying thing is that the way they have been made there are loads of loose like threads where the pattern has been made, so you sometimes catch your toe nails in the threads which could damage the socks and they would then have a hole in them .They fit great and very comfortable to wear but that is an issue .

Good fit, good value.
Found these easy to put on, comfortable to wear and good value for 3 pairs. Pattern might not appeal to some!
