Women's Circulator | Moderate Graduated Compression Socks

These moderate-compression socks are amazing. I have heavy calves, and I am able to pull these socks (which are not even the wide-calf style) ALL the way up to the knee (unlike a major medical-professional brand, which tops out at least 3-4 inches below the knee - extremely uncomfortable!) - and these stay put! Bonus - I have consistently used these socks during a bout of foot/ankle tendonitis, and they have worked MUCH better for me than the lace-up brace the podiatrist provided. The socks provide pain relief through gentle but firm support and compression that does not create swelling directly outside the injured area (problematic with the brace) as the compression with the socks extends beyond the ankle and goes all the way up the leg and well into the foot. Pricey - yes, but one can pay almost as much (or more!} for a pair of hiking socks at an outdoor outfitters store.

I became a Sockwell fan with my first pair a few months ago and now have 5 pair. Yesterday my husband and I spent a long day walking - a 22K step kind of day. I wore my moderate compression knee high sockwells and a pair of Hokas. He was in regular socks and also in Hokas. My husband is in better shape than I am. At the end of the day his feet and lower legs were aching and needing to rest. I had no aches at all and would have been able to walk another few miles. I am back on this website to buy him a pair next and figured I should probably leave a review.
