Physix Gear SportPhysix Gear Short Compression Socks for Men & Women - Best Low Compression Socks Women & Men Ankle Socks with Arch Support

Love these, and will likely buy more!A bit of history is required to explain why. A little over a year ago, I twisted both my ankles. I had twisted my ankles much worse in the past, and recovered fine within a couple of weeks. But I’m older now, and I did not heal. I stopped all sorts of physical activity – hiking, treadmill, elliptical, and weight lifting. I went to the doctor, who found only soft tissue damage (no fractures or breaks), and told me to keep doing what I had been doing. So a year later, my ankles were still swollen, still tight, and still prone to soreness if I wore heels or walked too much at my mostly sedentary desk job, all while 15 lbs. heavier from lack of physical activity. I decided to suck it up and go back to the gym. It hurt, and my feet and ankles swelled up after every workout. I had some cheap compression sleeves which I would sleep in to help alleviate the pain and swelling. I thought if I could work out with some type of compression around my feet and ankles it might also help, so I bought these socks.My first time wearing them, I got through a treadmill workout without any discomfort! And that’s saying a lot, because even before my injury, the treadmill would leave my hips and shins sore, and I’d need to rest for 2 days before working out again. So I decided to see how far I could push myself with these socks. I focused on the treadmill, which I had mostly used as a warm up for other types of exercise, and began trotting (it doesn’t seem right to call what I do running) faster and longer.I’ve had these socks for exactly 6 weeks. Yesterday I completed my first ever 5k run.

These socks work as advertised. I am a very active 69 year old man. I walk at least 1 hour on the treadmill daily and also lift weights three times a week. I started experiencing some swelling in my right foot and ankle a few weeks ago. This is due to “blood pooling”. I purchased these socks to see if they might alleviate the problem somewhat. They have exceeded my expectations. The swelling has all but disappeared! I highly recommend these socks if you are experiencing the same or a similar problem.

I was pretty excited when these arrived however the first time I pulled them on the ankle of the sock tore and put a little hole with a large run in it. Very disappointed** Update**The seller contacted me to make sure I was satisfied with my purchase, as soon as I respond with the miner defect in the one sock they sent me a new package. The package included TWO new pairs. Wonderful customer service with this company I am very impressed. I have been wearing these to work and they help a TON! My feet are no longer throbbing and tingling at the end of my shift and they seem to be very well made so far. I would definatly recommend this product and i will for sure be buying more myself.

I do a lot cardio workout during the week, about 300 minutes per doctors prescription and yeah is a lot but it works wonder on your heart and cholesterol. Anywho, I started developing arch and heal pain to the point were it was interfering with my workouts. Found these socks bought a pair and tried them on for a couple of days. Bam ! They worked, no pain during and after the workout. To mitigate any other issues I changed my sneakers insole for found here on Amazon and have not had any issues with the arch or heal for months. I bought enough for two weeks and now I keep losing them to my wife which loves them. I Do Recommend.6 month ;Follow up Review:These socks are amazing, like stated above I used them for my cardio workout. After nearly 6 month of use no wear can be found on the socks and they still provide the support I need. My only complaint is how the tow is constructed, the threading is thick but it has not caused any discomfert due to the width of the running shoes I use. If the shoe fit was snum the thich seam would caused a problem. If a company rep reads this please please look at this as an improvement.Very highly recommended.

My shoe size is 5-1/2 and these out if the box were a touch loose but may shrink after first wash. Love that there is no seam under the toes to annoy. I have inside-out pics so you can see for yourself

I love it in comparison with other high tech apparels: the fabric feels high quality, pleasant and energizing. I had a fall that hurts my right ankle so I started with TechWare Pro ankle brace compression socks. They worked their wonder. They are right/left foot specific and fairly tight but not too hard to put on. However they are 3x more in $. I gave it a good review and bought second pair. As my ankle is getting fully recovered I was looking for something less expensive with good enough support. Here came Physix. I did try the long one first and I liked the fabric and everything except it is not as easy as the ankle/low cut socks to put on. I also bought SB Sox for my wife but I prefer Physix fabric. Finally, Physix low cut came to my attention. I had them on for a few weeks everyday mostly during workout. It is perfect. I used to have numb big toe and now it is gone ( I am pre-diebetic). No doubt Techware socks did initial heavy lifting. Physix continued the support and easier to put on. Their fabric immediately energize my feet even though it is not as tight. To be fair, New Balance 880 running shoes fit at their store is the primary help. I used to go with cheapest footwear so obviously feel very guilty with current combination. But it works and save on doctor's visit and medicine or physical therapy. My feet have been ugly fat as long as I can remember but with these high tech socks they look slim and better than I was young. Obviously diet and exercise is part of it.

Very cool product I have both these and the full length, use these for running and they are great, a bit looser than normal socks as you would expect but once up and going they are bliss!

Ive recently been suffering with blood pooling and swollen ankles causing pain and discomfort when walking. These socks have worked wonders for me, allowing me to get on with daily chores, hobbies etc, where I am sometimes on my feet for hours, I can keep going now without having any pain and minimum swelling. They are tight for the compression, but surprisingly comfortable. Very pleased

I bought these about a month ago for running. I run 3 to 4 miles 3 times a week, and they are really good. Really comfy and keep my feet and ankles supported. I recently devolpod posterior tibial tendinitis (not from running) and have been on rest for 2 weeks. Being in alot of pain, and it swelling quite alot, I tested them out while out for the day, and they definitely stopped any swelling from happening, and that was after a few hours walking in them. The seller was also very prompt in replying to a question. Very impressed, and will definitely buying more.

I have just used these for a 10k run. I now have two blisters on the arches of my feet. In truth I didn’t even feel these developing whilst running because I was distracted by the rubbing of the ‘seamless seams’ at the toe-end of the socks. One sock has cut into my toes where the seam is - I think due to what feels like excessive fabric.I have been using other fairly expensive running socks up until today, and my trainers are always fine, so sadly it was absolutely these socks that have caused the blisters and cut.The other reviews are so compelling I’m willing to think it’s faulty pair. But still, I don’t have a whole lot of spending money so this was a bit of a kicker :(

Terrific compression socks
