Reviewed by ARG46 from Arizona on Wednesday, May 01, 2013Fit and finish is good. Does provide just the right amount of compression so you feel "stronger" and your calfs don't get as "tired". However, they do get holes at the "seams" near your ankle quickly. Looks like the weave pulls apart slightly. Still wearable.

Reviewed by Jenny the nurse from San Francisco on Friday, April 19, 2013I'm a nurse, which means long hours on my feet. These are the only socks I now wear. I initially purchased 2 pair but loved them so much I bought 4 more. They greatly reduce leg fatigue and swelling. Highly recommend!

Reviewed by Jean from Utah on Thursday, April 18, 2013Following a recent knee replacement I was experiencing swelling at the ankle. These socks worked perfectly to assist in circulation and keep swelling down without covering the incision, which is still healing. In fact, they worked so well I bought a second pair. I intend to use the socks in the future on the long hikes I'll be taking once I'm fully recovered.

Reviewed by OkiefromOak from California on Saturday, March 30, 2013Great quality socks. Comfortable except for very tight in the toes. The tightness everywhere else was good though

Reviewed by MCNPT from Toledo on Saturday, March 30, 2013I bought these for traveling and those days I sit in a course all day, and have worn them for that purpose. They were comfortable and provide appropriate compression for varicose veins. Melanie

Reviewed by misskatri from Manhattan, NY on Wednesday, March 27, 2013I've recently become interested in compression socks because of problems with swelling in one of my feet. These offer moderate compression which does a great job to manage my edema and yet the other leg feels great. They're a good weight to wear under any of my boots and shoes unlike most of my other wool socks. I've also noticed my feet rapidly cool off if they get too warm. So comfortable. I must get more of these.

Reviewed by Trulyb from Asheville, NC on Monday, March 25, 2013I've bought other Smartwool Phd Ultralight compression socks from STP, under another listing in black, and I needed the S to get much compression. When I tried the S in these, they wouldn't even go on my feet. Just be aware that you don't need to size down in these.

Reviewed by Travel bound Lady from Colorado on Wednesday, March 20, 2013These are great socks, quite lightweight, thin enough to get into tighter shoes & all the perks of regular smartwools with the added bennefit of compression recevery. Beware however these are quite effective at compression... if in doubt of your size you should probably size up. They are fine for me with my thin calves but my mother in law can't wear her regular size due to the tightness of the calves.
