Review on Enhance Athletic Performance with 8 Pairs of CHARMKING Copper Compression Socks, Best for Circulation & Support (15-20 mmHg) - For Women & Men by Richard Payne

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Mismatched fit and poor logo design

Usually a really good price for 8 pairs of compression stockings. I bought size XL and my calf size is about the maximum size in the size chart and maybe a little bigger. I've worn 5 pairs out of 8 so far and 3 of them have been incredibly comfortable and 2 of them were so tight around the top band that I had to take them off within an hour or two as I felt like it was cutting off circulation. I'm sure if my foot was smaller it wouldn't be such a big problem. I wish they had sold them a little bigger. I never understood why compression sucks, it's made for people with edema and doesn't have many options. What I don't like is the logo. Aesthetically it looks terrible because one letter is printed on top of the other so it looks like it's reversed and if you wear them fully stretched in the top size they also look misshapen. They're also not symmetrical to each other so as you can see in one of the photos the logos aren't in the same place on each leg so it looks like poor quality control nobody paid any attention to how they would look . The logo is also huge and unsightly. If you look at one of the photos I've included you can also see that the stitching behind is very lumpy and actually digs into my foot on the closer pairs and leaves marks. They seem to help with swelling when not interfering with circulation and I think they work best for those who don't have maxed calves (19 inches). Sometimes they also pinch my little finger, which can be annoying. I think this is a case where you get what you pay for. I've had real compression stockings that cost a lot of money and were a lot more comfortable and it's a really good deal compared to them so I'm willing to put up with some of them.

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
