I was looking to save a few dollars hoping that these compression socks were the same as a similar but more expensive brand. Saving that $5 was not worth it at all. These socks feel loose and if they are compression socks they are very generous in sizing and almost feel like thick stockings. I bought the size s/m. I would not but these again bc they are not at all what I'm looking for.For context I'm about 5'6 and a bigger woman with a 15" calf. I stand on my feet all day for work.
