Men's Circulator Moderate Graduated Compression Sock

I got two pairs of these in Black Stripe L/XL for my boyfriend who typically wears 10.5/11 shoes. They fit perfectly and he loves them! Now, he was a little skeptical about trying them, because he is a 10-pack of crew socks kinda guy, but his feet had been hurting from walking all day doing street photography. I told him the ladies version helped me with very achy feet and knees at work, that I got them on sale (they still cost more than 10 pair of his regular socks, but, better than MSRP!) and to *please, just give them a try*! He gave me "the look" and put them in the sock drawer. Well, it took him a few weeks to even break open the packaging, but when he got home that evening after his first wearing he pretty much immediately exclaimed that the socks were fantastic and his feet felt so much better with them. Just like he is the kind of guy to wear $1 socks, he is also the guy who doesn't fluff things up - he shoots straight. So, this proclamation meant he meant it! Now, he doesn't wear them daily, but if he is going to be walking a lot, he puts these babies on because he knows they work. And now I have a new stocking stuffer idea. :P Hope this review helps someone with their tired, sore feet. Best of luck! UPDATE 01/06/2018: I wanted to update that these socks are still going strong for my boyfriend. They are his most expensive pair and he wears them when he knows he will be on his feet all day. Something of note: He must have acidic sweat because he wears holes through all his socks like crazy - these socks are still in perfect shape after 2 years where he has "killed" other socks in months. Definitely a winner in my book!

and a third time... perfect fit, soft, comfortable, well behaved in the washer and dryer, almost indestructible (tbd).

I wish I could buy all the pretty colors they have for the women's Sockwell Socks, but alas, I am 5'9", have a size 11 woman's shoe, and have always had very thick legs, including my calves. The medium/large size does not fit me (which is the largest size the women's styles come in), it runs about 1 inch too short, likely due to the thickness of my calves. This was disappointing for me when I bought my first pair of sockwells. I really liked the quality of the sock, so I went ahead and bought a Men's large/x-large size and these fit me perfectly! I threw them in the dryer by mistake but they still fit and kept their compression even after having gone through the dryer. This review is actually for my 4th pair as I have 2 women's pairs (size med/large) that I cannot wear, and now I have 2 men's pairs (large/x-large) that are fabulous! I am an RN who works those long 12 hour shifts, they offer great compression and, with the right size, they stay exactly where I want them to without the slipping down or digging in throughout the day. They are not too heavy, and have more of a sock feel than a stocking feel, which I prefer as the stocking type compression socks cause my feet to sweat. This is not the first brand of compression socks I have tried, I have bought others both before and after purchasing my initial pairs of Sockwell's. I wound up returning to these because I have just not been as satisfied with any others I have tried. The only reason I am giving these a rating of 4 (instead of 5) is because I hate that I have to get the boring men's colors and designs since they do not offer the women's patterns and colors in the size that fits me. While this is not my first time having this problem when searching for an item, I am still disappointed. It is quite common for women to have larger (thicker) calves/legs than men, and believe it or not... not every woman is 5'4". Expand the sizes of the women's styles and I would come back and give this a 5 star in a second.

Awesome compression socks

comfortable, not too tight, holding up, merino wool!

These socks are comfortable and offer just the right amount of compression. The fabric is nice too.

Sockwell is a dependable, stylish brand for supportive socks. If this is something you need, this is the brand to buy, and Amazon has a great price. I loved the pattern on these! Support socks without looking like support socks. It’s a win-win!

This is the third time I’ve bought sock wheels and to me they’re the best compression stockings, They are expensive but they last a long time I have three pair left over from four years ago that are still usable. They’re worth the money.
