(2 Pairs) Compression Socks/Stockings for Men & Women,Speed Up Recovery Circulation, Best Graduated Athletic Fit for Travel, Running, Nurses,Shin Splints, Flight,Maternity

Yes, rare as they are from me, it's a full * * * * * review! And I can confidently award that because I ordered four brands of knee-length compression stockings from four different Sellers in the same order. These were not the least expensive or the most. But they were definitely the best when it came to expected fit, quality of finish, overall comfort and best effect. And at £9.99 for two pairs (inc. free shipping via Amazon), they also represent very good value. As a retired Charge Nurse, I recognise the importance of compression stockings fitting correctly. So I was a little hesitant in ordering online initially. People are usually measured and fitted for them by their GP's Practice Nurse. So I was extremely happy (and relieved) when these 'Calves Kelson' brand arrived from Amazon UK Seller 'PINSHUN'. I was additionally pleased that they arrived vacuum-sealed for hygiene reasons. I've machine-washed them since (on a 30 deg C normal wash with fabric conditioner), and they came out as good as new. It's so important to get the measurements right with compression stockings. Too loose and they provide no benefit at all. Too tight and you risk reducing blood circulation in your lower legs and feet. Thankfully, from a medical point of view, these socks from 'PINSHUN' fit exactly as described. The most important measurement by far for 99% of people with leg and foot circulation problems, is measuring the thickest part of your calf. Get that part right and you're sorted! A number of reviewers have stated that these socks fitted too tightly. Whilst I can appreciate they may think that I can almost guarantee that this is rarely if ever the case. Basically, if you DON'T have to struggle to get compression stockings on... they're simply too big! And trust me, I speak as a retired charge nurse in the NHS who was responsible for measuring and fitting patients for compression stockings on a daily basis! For an ideal fit, you really have to turn them almost inside-out, and just concentrate on getting the toes in to begin with. Then slowly try to roll them over the rest of the foot to the ankle. Then pull them tight again, and work the stocking up the leg, literally an inch at a time, straightening and pulling them tight as you do so. Compared with your normal pair of socks, they SHOULD feel extremely tight from top to bottom. Finally, if you've never worn compression stockings before, they WILL feel too tight once you stand up. But that's precisely how they're supposed to feel. Basically, their job is to literally compress, i.e. squeeze all your veins, arteries and muscles together, really tightly. They may feel odd for a day or two, but what you will also notice, is that any pain from your knees down, will begin to reduce immediately. Sometimes slightly and sometimes massively. I appreciate that this is only supposed to be a review of the product, but I feel sure the additional information will be helpful to some. Especially all those who are new to wearing compression stockings. Good health to you.

Quite fine, easily fit in to my shoes, and easier to get on than I expected. My circulation is poor so my feet swell and I think I can wear these as normal daywear which is a bonus

Initially purchased for travel but have found them great for everyday use as well. Comfortable to wear and the length is good. Legs feel supported and give good compression. They are tight as you put them on but okay when wearing.

A superior pair of compression socks, these come in eight terrific colors and basic black for the purists. They offer 20-30 mmHg of compression -- basically medium compression, so you will feel them working without it being uncomfortable or too tight. The fabric is durable, breathable and machine washable (line drying is recommended over putting them in the dryer). They're also a bargain. At this price, it's hard to find two pairs of any kinds of socks, let alone some that actually make your legs feel good. An added bonus: They look good. On those long-haul flights, you can take off your shoes with pride and let your fellow passengers admire your cool-looking socks -- folks won't have any idea that you're wearing compression stockings, and you'll arrive at your destination feeling ready to hit the ground running.

Very comfortable great quality good size ease of putting on good price

Although they fit my calves which are quite large, I found the socks too long for my legs. I am 5'9" and I had to bunch or fold the tops under my knees. They were helpful though on my long haul flights recently, and otherwise quite comfortable. I will looked for a slightly shorter sock.

These are such good quality and really work. I have used on multiple long haul flights :)

Excellent quality. Great material which despite it being a hot day my legs felt cool. My legs felt lighter and definitely ached less after a 12 hour shift. I am 5ft 5 inches tall and they went past my knees and about a quarter way up my thigh. I wish they were longer or at knee length because they did dig in a bit by the end of my working day. Would buy again.
