Too tight. for my opinion

TL:DR? These didn’t work for me, but they may work for you.The Fabric:These compression socks are made of a stretch, machine washable black fabric that has spiral stitches up the calves. The size is clearly marked in white along with an airplane symbol inside the top band of the sock. These socks are knee high in length and come as a single pair.The Fit:According to the charts provided, I should be a Medium. I have a 9 inch ankle, 16 inch calf, and wear a size 10 shoe. I ordered an XL as I…

Pros
  • Comfort
Cons
  • Putting the second sock on it tore from my fingers that were pulling it up.

Work better for non-flying activities

These are listed as being for airplane travel, but I found them to work better for everything else and not so well on a plane. While flying, these socks were comfy but didn't really seem to do much for ankle and foot edema. On the ground and doing things like sitting or grocery shopping or going on longer car trips (over an hour), they did help with swelling. As long as you buy based on their size chart and measure yourself correctly, they should be able to go on without a struggle to stretch…

Pros
  • B07PN4PPNS
Cons
  • May not completely prevent swelling during travel

Will it fit? on my review.

I dislike how difficult the compression socks are to put on. I've tried putting them on as I would a regular pair of socks and their very hard to put on. I tried putting them on as the instructions indicate and they're still hard to put on.The original pair I ordered were medium size. I take a 10 1/2 shoe. I then ordered a large size and they're also difficult to put on. Perhaps part of the problem is I'm 81 years old and not as strong and diligent as I was 20 years ago.

Pros
  • The socks fit well, but arrived with a hole in the toe.
Cons
  • Not comfy as other socks .

SELECTING THE CORRECT PRODUCT IS KEY TO GETTING A PERFECT FIT

I have ordered many NuVein products and read a great number of their reviews. The overall consensus appears to be that this is a fantastic product, but that getting the correct product can be a bit challenging. If you look at the 1-star reviews, you will see that they largely complain about fit and tightness level, both of which are issues directly related to buying the correct item in the first place.When you buy NuVein products, you will need to pay very careful attention to:- size (small…

Pros
  • Socks
Cons
  • May cause an uncomfortable pressure sensation on the toes or ankles

Nice stockings, unfortunately don't fit me

The stockings appear to be well made, and are a good, dark, neutral colour. Unfortunately, XL is both a bit too long (see the bunching in the last photo), and too tight for me. (I would probably need an XXL Short in an anti-embolism stocking.)I first attempted to put these on as one would a sock, just for kicks, and that was a no go. Then I put one on using the seller's instructions, and although it did go on, it was a struggle. Then I put a stocking on using the method I was taught for putting

Pros
  • Reduces risk of deep vein thrombosis, swelling, inflammation, heavy aching discomfort and leg pain
Cons
  • May be too hot to wear during warmer climates
