Run Forever Compression Socks for Men & Women 20-30mmHg Medical Grade Graduated StockingsOEKO-TEX STANDARD 100

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.

I very rarely post a review but I can say that buying this compression sock "saved me" on a recent trip to Europe. I googled and found this sock and decided to buy a pair to carry on a trip to Europe. I am 68 years old and healthy with no real issues but just decided to buy a pair. I wore them on the flight over and they felt wonderful and kept my feet from swelling. We had a wonderful trip until I decided to wear sandals when visiting a museum with marble stairs - bad idea. I ended up falling the last 3 stairs and when I landed I was sure that I had broken my foot. I did not break it fortunately but I had to travel the next day with a 9 hour jet trip and there is no way that I could have managed without the wonderful compression socks. I went to a doctor when I got home and he said to continue wearing the compression sock and to keep my foot elevated as much as possible. Well it is 3 weeks later and yesterday was the first day that I went without my wonderful compression sock. I wear a size 13 shoe and the sock was just so comforting to my swollen and purple foot. I did fold down the sock about 4 inches from my knee because I have a large calf size. The sock NEVER lost its snugness!!! I wore it with some open sandals to work. I can never thank the company enough for creating such a wonderful sock. If anyone is traveling, I would never go without taking compression socks.

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.

Here is real quality and excellent design. These are far superior to any other compression hose I have ever had. I seem to recall that these were more expensive than others, but boy are they worth it. They are softer and thicker and smoother to apply. Not hard and smooth like others that take more effort to don. Using my crenelated rubber gloves, I could easily move (not work) these socks over my feet and ankles and both lower legs. They are very comfortable and cool.Having the toes, soles, and heels a different color than the rest of the stocking is brilliant. When using other all-black stockings, I find it is often difficult to maneuver the heel of the stocking onto my heel--it's all one color. I often have to make readjustments to get a proper heel fit, partly because the stretched heel is difficult to see during application when the fabric is being stretched. With the different colored marking, however, it is a snap to see and guide the stocking heel onto my heel with one easy movement. My new Run Forever Sports stockings are black with light grey toe, sole, and heel stitching.One problem: I ordered 20-30 mm Hg compression. However, the package holding the stocking gives no compression number. I'd hate to think that at least some of the ease of donning is because the compression of these stockings is less than 20-30. Is it possible these socks are made only for running and not also for therapeutic compression?
