Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I started noticing swollen and aching ankles around 30 weeks. I tried support hose and couldn’t handle the effort required to shimmy into full tights. The great reviews pulled me towards compression socks. Previously I associated compression socks with old diabetic men in strapless sandals. Well with my pride sailing out the door I thought I’d give them a try. I’m so happy that I did. I’ve worn them all day at work, just when I get home, and overnight. Whe wearing them all day I find that I can stay on my feet at least 1-2 hours longer. If these socks don’t jive with your work apparel, I found a lot of relief by putting them on when I get home and wearing them until bed (better than the 20 minutes I was “putting my feet up” for relief). Lastly, I tried wearing them overnight to see if they’d help with my hip and knee pain. No results there unfortunately. Overall, I find that my ankles have been staying pre-Preggo slender and I do not have ankle aches first thing in the morning. For the price it’s worth a shot. I wear women’s 10-11 (41-42) and have wider than average calves. I bought the L/XL and am happy with the fit. I wish I ordered a 6 pack from the get go. I’ll be ordering the multicolored 6 pack ASAP.
