Review on 🧦 Comfortable and Supportive SIGVARIS Women's Casual Cotton 146 Calf High Compression Socks – 15-20mmHg by Barry Hill

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I'll stay with Sigvaris

I'm a nurse and I'm on my feet 13-16 hours a day. These graduated compression cotton knee-highs will keep you energized and awake during long shifts. How did I find out about this brand? I went to a dermatologist for discoloration on my ankles and was diagnosed with "a condition caused by broken capillaries causing my skin to bleed with dark patches from venous blockage from years of standing." To prevent the cause, he advised me to wear a compression hose. I've tried other brands, mostly nylon, and they were too tight (felt like I was suffocating), too warm, and most importantly, difficult to put on. if I'm in a hurry, I've given up on them long ago. Then he showed me his socks, which were the same socks I'm reviewing, and said he doesn't feel tired in his legs anymore since he's been wearing them. He recommended the following specifications: brand SIGVARIS, COTTON, KNEE-HI'S, compression 15-20 mmHg. Well I work longer hours than he does and yet at the end of my long shifts my feet/legs no longer feel tired or swollen when I put them on. They feel just right. They're cotton so they're breathable and not hot, they're not difficult to put on, and because they keep my system pumping, they keep me energized. Do you know that feeling of congestion in your legs and feet when you stand too long? The same thing. These stockings/socks are a comfortable solution. By the way, my dermatologist was made aware of these Sigvaris socks by his son-in-law, who is also a doctor and is on his feet for many hours. And they only cost $20+ compared to other styles that cost $50+. I don't need fancy views; My priority is that they serve the purpose of gradual compression without the choking feel of most compression hoses. These Sigvaris compression stockings are 15-20 mmHg. Art. Save my day, my legs and my money. They feel so good that I walk around the house with them and sometimes sleep in them. I will buy more pairs in other colors as I can't do without them.
