Wanderlust Compression Socks for Men & Women - Eliminate Pain, Swelling, Edema

I purchased these a little over a week ago. I wanted to wait for my review until I have had the chance to wear them and wash/dry them. I have been receiving sclerotherapy for about 2 years now and have finally down-graded to knee high compression socks, prescribed at 20-30 mmhg. I am a 9.5 women's shoe, 9" ankles, 14" calves, 17" heel shaft (floor of heel up to back of knee, bent). These socks feel every bit "tight" as my Ames Walker nylon stockings at 20-30 mmhg. There is a little bit of struggle to get socks over the heel, which to me is a good sign of proper compression level. They are thicker than the normal cotton socks. But that did not bother me on 85 deg, very humid day for me. The feet are super cushiony with some compression in the arch. Great fit in toe box area. Great fit in the heel. Even, radiant compression. No pinching. Stays put. Band is super cushiony and wide with no pinching either. All compression socks/stockings leave something of an imprint, not painful or discomforting and disappears quickly. Washed them with whites, NO bleach, only powdered Oxiclean and Tide detergent, Snuggle liquid softener, hot wash. Meant to hang dry, but went through hot dryer. NO twilling, no unravelling, no shrinkage, no loss of compression. Love these so much that I just bought them in dark grey. Ordering more white, too. Well worth the money. Want to try the calf sleeves, too, which is 15-20 mmhg, but sometimes I need compression at night, especially when recovering from sclerotherapy, or had a long day on my feet. I have ordered Sav Force Gear Sox, Enerwear, a generic sport 2-pair sold by Guoway, Absolute Support, Newzill, too. Writing reviews on all of them, too. No compensation for my review. :)

These compression socks are comfortable and easy to slip on. Nevertheless, as clearly stated by the product information, these socks do not provide surgical-grade compression. Since I have a DVT blood clot in my calf, I would probably wear something else for a long car trip, a long plane ride, or for a marathon session in front of the computer. Surgical-grade compression hose, however, are a bitch to put on and take off. I wish Wanderlust made socks with more compression, because soft cotton is easier to deal with than the spandex-like construction of surgical grade products. However, since physicians are now divided whether patients with DVT should wear surgical grade compression hose, Wanderlust might be the ideal solution. I bought seven pairs because you can wear these socks every day, get a little bit of improved circulation, and forget you have them on.

This product is great and I have nothing but positive things to say about the seller and their quality compression socks. I bought these socks as a Christmas present for my elderly father. He has diabetes and struggles with foot pain. From my research and word of mouth these were the perfect socks to help with that pain. They shipped extremely quick and they used impressive quality packing materials. I checked them out before giving them to my dad and I found the socks to be thick and cozy with quality fabric that stretches well. However, my grumpy and elderly father says they were too difficult to put on since they were tight (they are compression socks and are expected to be tight). He also said that once they were on the socks made him sweat and he didn't want to feel so hot in them, reminding me it's Florida and he doesn't need such warm socks. He wanted them returned. I contacted the seller and let them know I would pay to ship them back in order to receive a refund. The seller was so kind to me and said I could keep the product so I didn't have to worry about re-shipping them back and gave me a refund. I was blown away by their very quick response and for generously refunding my money and didn't make me reship it. I was able to regift the product to a friend who loves these compression socks. All the way around, the seller and the product were wonderful.

I bought these for my active 74 year old husband after he had some very major surgery for cancer. We had never used compression socks before and were wary, to say the least. These came very promptly (thank you Amazon Prime) and have been absolutely wonderful. They are machine washable and dryable on a gentle cycle, and my husband says they are very comfortable even with his dress shoes. You have to understand this man is very particular and dare I say, fussy, about his feet, but he really likes these socks a lot, and his cardiologist is very pleased, too. In fact, I am ordering five more pair as soon as I leave this site, but I had to let anyone considering these socks know how great the product is, and how very responsive and wonderful the company is. I had many questions, and when I emailed, they responded immediately with answers that were clear.

This is a product that is worth every penny. While it is made of a fairly thick knit fabric it never feels heavy or hot on the legs. We purchase these products to wear on a flight to and from Europe . We had absolutely no edema, and the socks were so comfortable , we repeatedly washed and wore them . My husband found them so comfortable and effective that he now has purchased more and is wearing them daily to work . A really wonderful product !!

These are great socks as long as I get them on right out of bed. A little tighter than I had anticipated, so waiting a few hours to put them on is impossible, because by then the swelling in my feet and legs makes putting them on impossible. BUT, if I get them on right away they are great. They're comfortable, they provide the support I need, and they don't bind anywhere. I am very pleased with the socks. I think it's hard to buy this kind of product of you're not sure how compression socks are rated (strength of compression), so I will return to look for something a little less tight for everyday wear. But these socks are really comfortable. I'm in the process of moving, so doing a lot of exercise I'm not accustomed to, and these have really helped keep me on my feet and comfortable. I have worn them all day and was really pleased with the results.
