I’m 24 weeks and suddenly had a huge amount of swelling/adema in my legs ankles and feet. I bought some other (highly rated) compression socks and it’s July in the Midwest and the humidity and heat is unbearable- those socks were all made of nylon and other material like that- they also were super thin and had zero support.. these peaked my interest bc they’re cotton and graduating pressure, with a total pressure of 25-30 which checked 3 of my main boxes. I AM SO HAPPY BOUGHT THESE! WORTH EVERY PENNY! I put these on and instantly felt relief, after a few hours my legs/feet/ankles were the least swollen they’d been in over a week. They are SO comfortable! They have a nice amount of support in the foot (didn’t even realize a sock could do that for me!) and as thick as they look they’re the coolest compression sock I’ve worn thus far, they’ve got reinforcement in the heels and toes also. I also appreciate they aren’t black but also aren’t covered in some random pattern or bright colors. These are the nicest compression socks I’ve ever seen. My calf measurement was 15 in when I took before buying these and my shoe size is 9/9.5 (pre pregnancy/swelling) and I went ahead and got the large size. They’re just right, i can wear them for hours without feeling like I’m wearing anything. They are long, I have a 33in inseam and they come up to almost all the way over my knees, I fold them down a bit but could be worn all the way up too.(My socks came brand new- after wearing them in my Birkenstocks all day they’re just a little dirty already!) I had to review these tho, hopefully this helps another pregnant mama looking for the right sock to provide some much needed relief!
