Laite Hebe Compression Socks for Women & Men Circulation(6 pairs)-Graduated Supports Socks for Running, Athletic Sports

Cute & Comfy!
Just a little background information so you can see if your situation is similar enough to mine to make my experience with these socks relatable to your needs. I spent 20 years working on my feet, averaging about 15-20k steps a day – without issue until the last +/- 3 years. After that, the miles – along with the wear and tear – I had put on my body caught up with me and multiple surgeries [spine, left knee x2, right knee] later, I am no longer getting even a fraction of the walking in that I used to, despite 3+ hours a day on one of those under-the-desk elliptical machines as well as physical therapy. Swollen ankles, restless legs syndrome, varicose veins? I have them all! And while the groin to toe white stockings they give you in the hospital drove me bananas with their hole in the bottom of the foot, the compression they provided helped significantly with my pain and swelling.Enter my search for the perfect compression sock.I’ve made several purchases over the last few years, and never have I felt more like Goldilocks! One pair had such tight elastic at the top of them that they left massively deep indentations in my skin after I had worn them for only a couple hours [seriously, i half expected to see broken skin when I took them off]. Another pair was so poorly made that they wouldn’t stay up, which made the compression part of the sock a little, um, challenging. A lot of the time it seemed like “knee-high” compression socks only provided results of crew socks [and my legs are short, but not that short] or those striped thigh high stockings that 20 year olds wear with super short skirts at Halloween [no offense meant to the 20 year olds! If I could go back, I’d be buy those suckers in every color!]. And even if I was able to beat all of those obstacles and find a well-made, not too tight, but not too loose either, and as close to knee-high as possible for someone who has average-length legs, oh and also maybe not crazy expensive pair of compression socks? My chances of finding a cute pair were slim to none. Why were so many pairs of them so dang ugly??And then I spotted these. Not gonna lie: I noticed them because they were pink and I am a pink girl. I mean, in a perfect world, this bundle would have been a mix of pink and black and white and grey flowers and vines, but these aren’t a bad second choice! My first impression was that there were 4 pairs that I loved, and 2 pairs that I would’ve been happy to trade for a couple other pairs. I just wasn’t a fan of the colors up close and personal – no biggie. Anyway. Second impression came after I had washed them and then tried them on. Technically 2nd and 3rd impressions, I guess. They came through the washer and dryer perfectly; no loose threads or popped seams. Colors stayed bright [a pity, in a couple cases 😉] and the socks held their shape, which, I know – first wash – but sometimes clothes can be hit or miss online. Next came the try-on. Okay. Oh. Kay. These socks slid on as easily as non-compression socks, and after wearing a pair of them for a solid 6 or 7 hours, they not only stayed in place the entire time, but they didn’t leave impressions in my skin – even though I had folded over the tops of them so things were doubly compressed. Best of all? My ankles weren’t at all swollen when I went to bed that night, nor did my legs cramp up or twitch or have that creepy bugs crawling up and down my legs feeling that all go along with RLS. I wear these socks just about everyday, even though it’s the middle of summer, because they keep my legs feeling…well, actually, because they keep my legs feeling, full-stop. No numbness or tingling while I’ve got them on and just as great? No claustrophobic feeling that was all too common with previous compression socks. I say they were perfect, but I need to figure out who I talk to about those weird color combinations in a couple of pairs of my socks!

Nice socks. UPDATE: one small issue
I am disappointed that the socks I received look nothing like the socks on the listing. They’re not ugly, but they’re not nearly as pretty as they were shown. That said, they are really nice compression socks; especially for the price. The fit well, are very comfortable and appear to be well-made.UPDATE: I do still like the socks, for the most part. There is one problem though. Because of the way the design is woven into the socks, they pull at the top, near the cuff. (See picture). While I do have thick calves, I did choose the correct size, as they fit well on the rest of my leg. But the one section pulls, and leaves an indentation on my leg. It doesn’t cut off circulation, but it is irritating after a while. The rest of the sock does what it’s supposed to do, and makes the lower part of my calves and my feet feel great.

Good for quality, but wrong colors!
Sox seem to be of good quality, however customers should know I was shipped wrong colors. Got three green sox, and I did not order any with green.I also did not get any white which I did want. I will keep them as I need the compression sox on recommendation of my doctor. But disappointed in color!

I love them … now!
Just to be clear, I weigh 140 pounds, wear size 6 shoes, and stand 5’3”. These compression socks fit very nicely on my legs. They are not uncomfortably tight and come right up to my knees. My only problem is that the foot portion is much too long and uncomfortable in my shoes. Looking back through other reviews I’ve seen that this is a fairly common complaint. I’ve had support stockings before that were “toeless” and liked them … so I fixed my problem with these compression socks. I used my pinking shears and simply cut the toe of the socks off. Problem solved! They haven’t unraveled at all and other than not having toes, the socks function exactly as promised and they give my legs the gentle compression they need.

I stand 8+ hours a day on concrete floors in work boots. My legs used to ache by the time I would get home and relief was hard to find without Tylenol/Naproxen. These socks are a life saver!

They look great, only complaint is the compression doesn’t seem to be as much as I thought it would be
