Sockwell Women's Circulator Moderate Knee-High Compression Socks

Most compression socks that you buy. Have this weird slippery, feel to them. These feel like real actual socks, real good compression around the foot and up around the calf. Not too tight, great material.

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.
