Run Forever Compression Socks for Men & Women 20-30mmHg Medical Grade Graduated Stockings

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.

These sox are fantastic and they worked out so well I have purchase four more in colors. They are a little hard to put on at first, but this is because of any swelling but once worn for a few days are must easier to put on and are not as tight, so do not be discouraged at first. Do not try to put them on as sox, first fold the top outwardly down to the heal, get the bottom over your toes and onto your fee then pull them up from the half folded position, once on that far them pull the folded part up. Easy once you get used to it. My leg muscle pain is gone and they give great support. I hand wash and air dry them for best results. Give them a try if you have swollen feet or ankles, or calf muscle discomfort.

First of all, I think these long Run Forever compression socks are solid and meets my expectations of what compression socks should be. The socks are hardy and you can tell the materials aren’t skimpy. The sole and heel are reinforced by extra material and slight padding for maximal comfort and the sock upper is lighter in material which allow your leg to breathe without building too much heat. I really liked the extra padding and material at the bottom of the feet and toebox because those are the places where my socks usually develop holes first. The sizing is true to size. I ordered a Medium based on my foot size and the socks fit me well, tight but not blood-restricting tight, which is just how compression socks are supposed to be. That being said, I have two complaints. First, I’m not a fan of the Run Forever lettering on the top of the sock, where everyone can see them (if I’m wearing shorts). This is purely a physical preference and has no bearing on the quality of the product. Lastly, I feel that the price of $21.99 for one pair of compression socks, albeit decent quality, is quite steep. I’ll definitely look for something cheaper next time which hopefully are of comparable quality.

These are sturdy, well made and just right for my needs in compression socks.

I ordered my first pair of Run Forever Socks early January 2017 (Black, size Large). I was very impressed with these socks! I have been on the "hunt" for the perfect compression socks for me since 12/2015. I have literally tried over a dozen different brands. Sometimes the foot area is too large, despite what is indicated on the size chart, or sometimes the foot fits, but the calf is just too tight, likely designed for people with slimmer calves. Often the fits is fine, but the fabric isn't very soft or moisture wicking. I really love wearing Run Forever socks! I wanted to wear and wash them a few times to get a complete opinion before reviewing. Here are some reasons these socks are my favorite and work so well: -- Soft and comfortable cotton blend feel - not too thick and bulky, not too thin either. So many compression socks have a synthetic, nylon feel - I often have to wear low-cut socks OVER the compression socks to be cool and comfortable in my shoes all day. -- The foot area of the sock fits my foot perfectly (I wear women's US size 11 1/2 athletic shoe/ EU 44 - 17" calf) - no extra heel area showing or heel pulled up to ankle area to fit comfortably in shoes. -- The sock comes right up to my knee where it should; no shortage in length, and more importantly, no excess to roll or fold over which causes excessive, uncomfortable tightness around top of calf. -- The socks remain right where I place them in the morning with no slipping or adjustments needed all day and evening until ready to remove for showering. -- I appreciate the fact that there are not any designs or logos woven into the calf area, just a clean, sleek, smooth appearance. The only thing I would like to see change, would be the added option to purchase a sock with firmer compression in the 30-40 mmHg range. I often want to wear maximum compression socks several times a week, so I am still on the lookout for a brand that works for me with an increased level of firmness.

Not ment for those with big legs.

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?

These socks are surprisingly comfortable. I wasn't too happy when my doctor suggested I start wearing compression socks. I was so surprised at how well made they are and how much better my legs felt. In fact, I decided to only wear them at night, but the next morning I changed my mind and wore them all day. Great support, great price, good fit. I will be ordering more.

Everything comes as expected

I have been wearing the same brand of compression stocks for years. I have always purchased the large size. This time when I repeated the order in the same large size, the actual size of the socks received is much smaller compared to my earlier purchases. Earlier the socks were made in Taiwan. These ones I received are made in China. This is very disappointing.
