Review on Premium Ankle Compression Running Socks With Cushioning And Ankle Support For Men And Women By NEWZILL by Jonathan Sriubas

I purchase this sock because I need a low cut sock for forefoot swelling following surgery on my MTP joint (base of the big toe). I also wanted a sock that looked normal, for every day wear. I have zero swelling in my ankle or calf and actually have very skinny ankles and calves. The foot part of the sock fits well , provides appropriate compression, and is as comfortable as one can expect for compression socks. However, the top of the ankle area is way too tight. It is so tight that I can not tolerate wearing the sock all day. Most people in my shoe size have large ankles and would have even more trouble. Additionally, this counteracts the point of compression socks since it tends to trap the fluid that you are trying to squish upwards. One other note, the material is thicker and therefore hotter than the other brand I purchased, a problem in our current 90 degree weather, but not when autumn comes. In summary: I do use the socks, but will buy another brand for my next pair.
