I use these for maintenance of my chronic venous insufficiency on mild days and own five pairs. I prefer the cotton because they’re comfy and largely don’t pill or collect fuzzies, which is a must since I wear these around the house (sans shoes) more often than not.

I did size down from the wide large to the wide medium because even though my shoe size (women’s 11) matches the large size chart I was finding I had too much fabric on the foot, especially in the toes and heels. I was nervous about switching it up because my affected calf is permanently swollen and the wide medium is slightly smaller circumference wise, but it worked out fine!

These are also incredibly comfy at the band which is a huge plus.

i bought the medium but did not really feel any benefit, so the amazing people at customer service recommended i size down to small, and it made a huge difference (i wear a size 7 women's shoe, and am on the thin side, for anyone contemplating sizing)

i injured my knee 3 years ago, and have been slowly working my way back to longer hikes (7-12 miles); wearing these during and after the hikes has really helped with the pain and aches i usually have in the heel and arches of my feet. i wear them to bed after my hike and wake up with less pain. and, i am not sure if it's connected, but i have not had knee pain after these hikes, which surprised me—usually my knee will ache for a day after a long hike. highly recommend! :o)

I'm a new RN and purchased these socks for work. So far I'm very happy with them! I used to work in vascular medicine, and the doctors there told me how important it is to find compression socks fitted to your calf size. I'm thankful that Comrad carries MW in addition to their standard sizes. I also find the cotton much more comfortable against my skin, and more breathable than another pair I had from Amazon. I may try the M size 15-20mmHg in the future to get something closer to 20-30mmHg compression for me.

I work from home and these socks are a game changer. My legs feel energized and no swelling.

I was recently gifted several pairs of Comrad socks after struggling immensely with excruciating pain and swelling due to pregnancy. I was fitted for compression socks at my doctors office at $100 a pop and was instantly disheartened about the price knowing that I needed my ongoing pain to end.

After receiving my Comrad package in the mail, I tried out the nylons 20-30hg first and INSTANTLY my pain was reversed! I continued to wear the other socks including this gorgeous recycled cotton pair (my absolute favorite for comfort and style) and experienced my first ever full day without any swelling or pain! I have continued to wear my Comrad Nylons, Merino Wools, and Recycled Cotton socks and I am obsessed! I have already recommended this brand to so many friends and will be a lifetime customer moving forward! You literally saved my legs❤️
