The socks are cute. The only down sides in my opinion are the dots leave indents in my skin and the top band is a little tight. I have bunions so maybe i should have gone up a size I don't know. If i could give any advice for future socks it would be to make the top band much wider at least as a option on some varieties.
They are soft, cute and comfortable. An increase in compression increased comfort, which was the reverse of what I expected, but what my podiatrist said I needed. Listen to your Doctor.
Started out with wide calf Big Brains (2) (thank you Dr. Betsy) and 2 more pairs. Buying all wide calf socks. One week later I bought FOUR more pairs, various designs. Today I bought SIX more pairs. Have a very bad problem with lower extremities swelling. Seeing a doctor about it but also using the VIM&VIGR socks to help minimize the swelling and discomfort. LOVE the socks with cotton in them. Fit well. Feel great. My feet feel like they are cradled. No sweating. Enough length in the toe to ankles and ankles to knees. Getting rid of all the cheap imitations. This supply gives me a week and some spares. All the socks are 20-30 mmHg.
Wore them on connecting flights during an 18hour travel day. No swelling, comfortable, and perfect.
Initially, I was afraid the compression might be too tight, but they feel wonderful. My favorite sock when I have to be on my feet for hours.
I have POTS and I notice a reduction in my symptoms when I wear these and more energy too
I bought three different styles and have only tried one so far. Pleased with purchase.
I love the little stripe nylon socks. I even worked out in them and my feet didn’t get sweaty/ hot. They are so comfortable! I have long narrow feet and the M/L fits great. Also have long legs and they come up high enough and don’t fall down.
I’ve been experiencing borderline painful blood pooling in my calves and feet recently due to medical reasons still being investigated but these compression socks have helped so much. Plus, the pattern is fun and helps me look forward to wearing them.
I was pleasantly surprised with the patterns. The marino wall ones are my favorite but These were cotton, I believe. It would be nice to be able to choose the fabric for the bag, but otherwise, as expected, and the patterns were pretty neutral
It’s hard finding compression socks/sleeves that fit my larger calves. These sleeves fit the bill, and are the perfect alternative for those like me who love their jogger scrub pants and don’t want their socks showing. The only reason why I gave them 4 stars is because even though the material is nylon, it’s still on the thick side and makes me hot which is killer in this 100+ California weather. Also, it would be better if the compression was graduated so that it isn’t as tight just below the knee. Otherwise, they’re great! I’m sure I will appreciate the warmth in the winter.
Awesome, good compression
I have been gradually trying all of the fabrics, compression levels and patterns VIM & VIGR offer and was hesitant trying the grab bag. I love a deal so I went for it, I’m very pleased with the items I received none are duplicates and are patterns I’ve not seen before. I bought 2 more grab bags and am just as happy with those. Thank you for such great products.
I love these compression socks. My husband is a bit jealous that he doesn't have a pair too. They fit perfectly and I can really tell a difference since I wear them all day. They are breathable and supportive. So glad I made the purchase and I plan to get more of them.
I used the size chart, and I could have gone with the M/L Xtra wide or the L/XL Xtra wide. The L/XL are are probably best for someone with long lower legs. I bought the L/XL Xtra wide calf size and they come up a little too high, but they're totally comfortable anyway.
These socks are adorable! They don't pinch my toes. They're soft, and they wear so well! I feel supported all day while I'm on my feet.
I received two pairs of great quality socks that I would not have ordered because of the design. I LOVE THEM! They are easy to put on, wear very well, and fall below my knees. These were the striped socks. Buy these if you have any question about the value for the money. It's a perfect purchase to try the socks AND get a great deal!
