MUK LUKS Women's Wide Width Compression Cotton Knee-High Socks, 2-Pack, Shoe Size 6-10

Usually, on most any compression sock the band is too tight, and usually the material is rough on skin - but these wide width Muk Luks are very nice and stretchy, non-binding, plus soft on skin. The more I build muscle, and sometimes legs swell, I do actually have to stretch the band on these using a wooden clamp from Harbour Freight (Pittsburgh hand screw clamp-12" and be sure to PINCH the very tight band while on the vice!) -just widen it with socks over it, ie use it the opposite way). If they crease your ankles you can use the vice for that as well. I do love these Muk Luk socks! They also come in some nice colors. Kuddos for making a better compression sock! Kuddos to Walmart for selling these!

I I think these are excellent for compression. I love that they are cotton. I did order the wide calf and the only problem I have is the band at the top itself is a little too tight for my liking. The rest of the sock is great but the band is extra firm. I have a lot of swelling so that's an issue for me -the average person probably wouldn't have a problem. I would definitely buy these again for the sole reason that they are cotton and a high-quality product.
