Review on 🧦 Optimize & Boost Circulation: Medical Compression Socks 20-30 mmHg for Women & Men - Ideal for Running, Athletic Activities, Nursing, Hiking & Travel by John Walker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

For compression socks, VERY easy on-off

I have venous insufficiency. I had surgery to close off a couple of failing veins in my legs. If I remember, they do that with a laser and fiber optics. (When you shut them down, the body just reabsorbs them, I'm told.) The doctor told me to wear compression socks afterward, and recommended Jobst. I got those, and used them. 20-30 mm Hg, I think. (It's been years since I bought any compression socks, and I don't recall for sure now; but I think that's it. Medium compression. Not firm, not light.)It wasn't long before I started to hate 'em. Big-time struggle to get them on and off, and they rolled at the top and squeezed too hard where they rolled. Dug a groove in a sore circle all the way around the top of my calf.So I searched for compression socks that claimed to be easier to put on/off. It actually didn't take long to find Newzill.I bought two pair to begin with, and tried them out. The difference was night and day.They felt like they gave the same compression (which is what they advertised), but were SO much easier on and off. And they didn't roll. Didn't fall. Stayed where I put 'em.So I bought several more pair. That was, what, 4 or 5 years ago? Haven't had to buy a pair since. They don't lose compression, don't fall, don't roll, and don't wear out! I haven't even worn a hole in one yet! I'm beginning to think I couldn't beat 'em to death with a hammer. Every product should deliver on promises and be as well made as these socks.

Pros
  • Socks are as advertised has the compression needed with great look
Cons
  • The socks may not provide sufficient compression for individuals with severe varicose veins

I broke my ankle and was told to wear compression socks under the air cast. These are wonderful. True to size, hold their shape and comfortable. Other reviews mentioned the pattern indentations in their skin but it honestly didn''t bother me at all.
