HipStone Plantar Fasciitis Compression Socks(1 Pair), 20-30 mmHg Foot Compression Sleeves for Ankle/Heel Support, Increase Blood Circulation, Relieve Arch Pain, Reduce Foot Swelling

This is the second pair of these I have purchased. They help so much with comfort, swelling and circulation - and therefore with recovery. I highly recommend for any ankle or lower leg injuries, or issues with swelling. I totally ruptured my achilles tendon a few months ago, and wore one of these on my left foot constantly prior to surgery. It really helped with pain and swelling and holding my loose calf muscle together. Now that I'm out of the boot, I'll be wearing one until I'm fully healed. Circulation going back up the leg is greatly impaired with injuries like this, so I need the sleeve to keep my foot from turning bright purple, swelling and getting very uncomfortable within seconds or minutes of being on my feet. It's a life saver. Being on my feet at all would be miserable without these, but as it is, I am fine for normal things like going to and from work, and I have even been up on my feet quite a lot the last couple of days with only minor discomfort. I like that my toes are open to wear with sandals, but the ankle is fully covered. Very, very happy. I purchased a size medium the first time, and they were perfect. The second time I purchased a medium, they were a little bit too big, and bagged a tiny bit around the ankle. My ankle might be a little bit smaller now than it was a few months ago, but not much - and my other size mediums still fit fine. It's a small difference, but I'm sending this second pair back, after receiving a size small that fits much better. For size reference, I wear a size 7 women's shoe.

Some other compression stockings have been too long for my short stature (5'3") but these are okay in that regard. They don't offer as much compression as the others, but enough to do the job. What is interesting about these stockings is the effect that lingers after I've taken them off. I can distinctly feel the pressure for several hours after removing them! This has never happened with other compression stockings--and I alternate this pair with a couple of other kinds that I own, so I know it's not my imagination. These are quite a bit thicker than other compression stockings I've used, but they seem no warmer in hot weather than others (all compression stockings are quite warm in the heat and humidity of summer). I like the colorful variety available in the HipStone brand. Wish they weren't quite so thick (because they are more visible under trousers), but they do a good job of compression, and that's the point.

I like these a lot! EXCEPT for the little nubs that are supposed to secure them to your leg...those things have left me with evenly spaced blisters around the back of my calves. I roll them down to avoid this. They work well, they are comfortable, I've put over 40 miles on them and you'd hardly notice.

Amazing compression sleeves - tight fit and has held strong compression.. The best pair of sleeves I have ever owned..***UPDATE - After wearing these almost daily since I got them a small hole showed up on the heel - after contacting the company they sent me a new pair of sleeves.***UPDATE 2 -I continue to wear these and still think they are the best out there - if you wear them daily, like I do you will probably notice wear. I am now on my third pair.

Perfect sizing. The Rx I take for my blood pressure can make my legs swell a little if I'm on my feet a lot or take aspirin or other pain relievers. I put these on when I'm relaxing at the end of the day and/or just hanging out at home. I've had virtually no swelling at all.

These stockings are amazing. I have had lots of pain due to plantar fasciitis, especially starting a new job on my feet all the time, and these have helped tremendously. They have also cut way down on swelling that has developed with my new job. I will be buying at least one backup pair.

So I have notice swelling and poor blood circulation in my left lower leg. A friend of mine, who is a physical therapist assistant, she told me that I should look into a compression calves/shin sleeve. So I looked on here and saw how many people bought this item and the review. So I purchased these. Well to make a long story short. These compression sleeve did what they are supposed to do. The swelling in my left ankle and legs has gone down and my left leg hasn’t felt this good in a long time. That means a lot since I work security and on my feet a lot. So I highly recommend this product.

Love t try here. They help with swelling on my injured leg and I also used them to fly. I always swell when I fly. Worked perfectly. I love that they have no toes because my feet get hot and I hate having my toes covered. They are great elasticity but not so tight that it kills your circulation. I would def recommend these!
