Review on Maximize Performance And Comfort With Vitalsox Men'S Patented Graduated Compression Socks by Jay Jeong

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Size medium sock fits claves, feet are too large for size 8.5 woman’s foot.

I am a cashier who stands on cement floors between four and nine hours per shift. My aching feet become bothersome somewhere between the four and five hour mark, and the inner side of my heels start to itch after an hour of standing. I bought these socks to combat those problems and because they seemed to accommodate a size 8.5 woman’s foot and a 17 inch calf in a size medium sock. The calf fits perfectly, but the foot was too big. The heel of the sock keeps riding up throughout my shift and I have to pull down the fabric around the toes to fix the heel. There is also no compression in the foot. I have experienced no change in the foot pain and itching, which I believe is due to the foot being too large. There are some good things to say about these socks though. One, the material feels sturdy and great. Two, the silver material is great at preventing odor. Three, feeling of toe seems is less noticeable than in normal socks. Four, the calf fits well on me and doesn’t ride down like in normal socks. I would have given these socks four stars if the feet fit properly, and five stars if these also improved foot pain and/or itching. I have not seen any other brand of knee high compression socks that seem to support my foot and calf size, or if I did, I know that I would encounter the same problem in the feet based on my experience with these socks. I would have gone for the small size, but then I wouldn't be able to fit the socks over my calves. I will be soon trying out ankle high compression socks and compression calf sleeves separately. That way, I can select the sizes that best fit me.
