I like the socks. However, I wish they came in sizes for people with larger calves/longer legs. They do not cover the length of my calf. The socks are warm and comfy. A little more compression would be nice as well.
Bought these as an 'Infusion Day' gift. He loved them. Nice feel, not flimsy, A+
My amazing mother loves these compression socks! She'll be 98 on December 4th. I highly recommend them, and the various patterns are awesome!
I wanted a cool looking compression Stocking and not the old looking granny kind of Ted’s and these are the ones.They help keep My BP in check bc I run low. I showed a few of the elders I take care of my new compression Stockings, guess what they are getting for Christmas from me lol. One suggestion, Can you make more in other colors like plain Red or black or white without words so I can wear them with other outfits? As knee highs with skirts?
I absolutely love them good quality especially the grips on the bottom.
I’m on my feet for long hours, and it’s non stop back and forth with patients. Everyone knows how their legs feel after a long shift. Dr. Socko keeps my legs from giving out. Cushion on bottom is a plus
I love these! At first glance, they look thick and unbreathable- BUT THEY ARE! Slipping these on defied all my expectations. They are super breathable, comfortable, AND my feet didn't hurt after a long day working on the floor.
I normally work as a recreational coordinator for those with profound disabilities, but I do get pulled to the floor on occasion when staffing doesn't meet ratio. I wore my pair of Chelsea Vessi's- probably not the best shoes to wear when working on the floor as a CNA. The compression socks is what kept me up and moving. They aren't too tight- which was always my problem in the past. Previous brands I tried were too tight and my legs often began to itch halfway through my shift due to lack of breathability.
As someone with varicose veins, finding socks that offer support without being too tight has been a challenge. These hit the sweet spot! I also love the fun designs—finally, a pair of compression socks that aren’t boring! I’m planning to buy more for my friends in healthcare.
I LOVE the fun designs! The compression is just right, though I’d love an even TIGHTER option for tough days. Overall, a great product
These socks are made with such comfortable and high quality material! I could wear them every day to work. My only complaint is that I wish I could order them with a higher compression. That is just my personal preference.
These compression socks are so comfortable! The last time I wore compression socks, my legs were hurting so bad by the end of my 12 hour shift. I decided to give these compression socks a go and I was not disappointed! My legs didn’t hurt at all, the foot part was thick but comfortable and the socks were pretty easy to pull up. I’m in love with these and will definitely be buying more pairs!
Material was soft and easy to get on, unlike regular compression socks! I wondered how much compression they have? Not going to answer that question yet. No binding/rolling behind the knees. The compression socks have been on for about 5 hours, no ankle edema and I’ve been on my feet most of the time! I am impressed with the amount of compression! Next question to answer how will my legs feel at the end of the day? Legs feel great! Much less feeling of muscle fatigue…even after working a 12 hour shift in a busy level 1 trauma ER! I will be buying 2 more pairs!
The socks feel smooth when putting them on. They are able to be pulled up with ease but then feel tight enough as a compression sock. The design feels perfect. They don't bunch in any specific place and are able to come up right behind my knee so they don't feel out of place there either. These socks, compared to other compression socks, don't feel as bulky. They don't feel too thick in the toes as some others tend to feel. I also noticed as I wore them throughout the day that they felt cool. They didn't feel hot, bulky, nor itchy. These socks feel like they have the perfect amount of compression to enhance circulation in the legs, which is good for long shifts or when on your feet for an extended amount of time. Honestly, they feel like a perfect little hug around my legs! :)
As a physical therapist, these are my NEW FAVORITE socks! Soft, breathable, and they don’t leave marks. So much easier to put on than other brands. Totally recommending them to my coworkers.
These socks feel good and do help over a long day on my feet. I find them a bit warm after a while which might work better in winter but a bit much in warm august and September. That said, I will definitely be using them at work during the cooler months! I’m a size 9 and the small/med size fit great!
Coming home from a 12 hour shift in the ER, I am a huge fan of the socks. They are super comfy. The cushioning at the bottom is wonderful.
Post a 12 hour shift at the hospital, these might be some of the best compression socks I've tried. They're really cushiony, so my feet feel supported and comfortable. My only critique is they might need to be tighter. They survived a 12 hour shift and kept me comfortable the whole time.
I've been a nurse for over 25 years, worked shifts of 8 and 12 hours for many years. I have tried shoes and socks along the years to alleviate my pain after working the floor. I used compression socks in the past and they worked but they were synthetic and made my feet feel cold .
Dr. Socko's socks are different and much better, they are very soft and compressive, plus they're funny! I'm definitely buying more pairs for myself and as gifts for my nurses friends. We can all use a good laugh during those long shifts!
Loved how soft they were and the reinforced heel. Amount of compression is the same as my other socks, but these are softer and thicker. Which, the thicker part might not be ok for some as it does make them warmer but my Raynauds really appreciated it.
On my feet all day. I have heart problems, POTS, Pre-Diabetic, and genuinely enjoy the relief these compression socks give me.
I love love LOVE the extra support on the heel. It made a world of a difference for me. The thickness of the socks overall is just right. Overall, I found these compression socks to be the most comfortable ones I have worn. The thickness, softness and compression are just right. I would definitely recommend these to any healthcare worker or anyone who is on their feet most of the day.
I was thrilled to try Dr. Socko’s compression socks! They were much easier to put on than the Crazy Compression socks I usually wear—I could actually put them on myself, which is a huge plus! Dr. Socko socks have a comfortable, traditional sock feel, but I’d love to see more fun designs and medical-related sayings like on their hospital socks. As someone who wears compression socks daily, it would be amazing if Dr. Socko made versions with their fantastic grippy bottoms to prevent slips at home. I think they’d be a great fit for healthcare workers and even flight attendants looking for both practical and fun compression socks!
Cons:
1. They are a thick material. I work 12 hour shifts as a nurse and my feet get hot. That's just me.
2. They only give 10-15 mm of support.
I like 20-30 mm of support.
Pros:
1. Super cute/hilarious design
2. If you like thicker socks - great
I will def be wearing these socks again, but probably just not for work.
