Compression Socks

[Jenny]

Anyone have a good brand of compression socks they like? Bonus points if they're not hideous and I can get them from Amazon. I did get one pair at the medical supply store, so I had something to compare others to, but my ski socks are no longer the most expensive socks I’ve ever bought and I’d just as soon not spend that kind of cash on multiple pairs!

How much compression do you need? I sometimes wear Smartwool compression socks. I have several different pairs, probably all from Sierra Trading Post. Something along the lines of this: https://www.smartwool.com/shop/women-socks-compression

I also sometimes use the Smartwool compression sleeves when running (aka trotting at a civilized pace with walking involved!).

The ones the doctor prescribed say 20-30 mmHg on the package. Didn't know Smartwool made them, although I shouldn’t be surprised, I guess. We have an STP here in town, now, so I can go look. Would like to find some good quality, less expensive ones though!

@VickiK - I saw lots of cute ones on Amazon, too, but just want to make sure they aren't low quality, you know, like the ones I bought at the dollar store! Love the ones on your last link but too light - need to see if they come in stronger compression.

Apparently I’m supposed to wear them for 3-6 months.

Dr. Motion, available from Amazon. Recommended to me by my chiropractor. They come in a ton of patterns and colors. I’ve worn them for years!

Some of those are really nice looking. Not sure they come in the same strength as he prescribed, though, but I’m going to click through the choices again - I saw 8-15, and 15-20 . . .

Nice.

These are the ones I've been rockin' since the end of July:



These all look great handing out from the bottom of my skirts and capris!




Can't find the exact pair, but they're this design, in black and charcoal gray. My "serious" socks.
