Comrad Breathable Knee High Compression Socks with Targeted Arch Support

I am a nurse and bought these to wear to work while pregnant because I was experiencing increased swelling in my ankles and feet toward the end of every shift. They are true to size and so comfortable. I bought more pairs to wear around at home and in the hospital after giving birth. There was a noticeable decrease in swelling after wearing them all shift or all day at home. They improve circulation without being too tight. The quality is great—I have worn and washed them many times and they still look brand new and provide the same amount of compression as the first wear. I still wear them every shift now and my legs feel great. Highly recommend!

As expected. Great compression. Great quality.

I’ve ordered 3 different types of compression socks (cheap no name from Amazon, Comrad and Quince). Before pregnancy I was a 9. These do not fight me to put on and the best feeling and breathability. I will only be ordering this brand now since I ordered a LW and it actually fits my feet if I’m swollen or not.

My legs swell when I sit for a while, on long rides, on airplanes, after walks, and even worse when it’s warm. I’ve tried compression stockings before, but the fit was so bad I just found them very uncomfortable and ineffective. I have a small foot (shoe size), short legs, but wide calf. After seeing a lot of recent advertisements for “new” compression socks, and hoping for some relief, I decided to give these Komrad brand socks a try. I was very pleased to find sizing in regular and wide calf. I ordered a medium wide calf. I’m pleased to report the foot is a great fit, and the calf felt good - noticeable compression but not uncomfortable. Unfortunately the length is too long for me, so I turned the cuff down. Today was the Komrad socks’ maiden voyage. I wore them all day, including a 3 hour car ride and 10K steps sightseeing, all in summer heat. They were comfortable to wear all day, even with the tops turned down. My feet/legs were a little warm, but to be fair, that would likely be the case with regular socks in this heat. This evening I peeled them off, and was happy to see way less swelling than usual. I’ll take that. Looking forward to more comfortable activities in my Komrad socks.

Better than earlier versions! I’ve been buying these for a few years now. Earlier versions had a different fabric blend. Old ones felt like they had less spandex and the elasticity would wear out fast, causing the earlier ones to sag after only about 15 uses or so. The fabric also felt heavier, contributing to the early sagging. I’m happy to report these are much better. More elasticity and they stay up both better and after more repeated wearing and washings. The fabric has less of a sheen and the fabric isn’t as heavy, although just as thick (if that makes sense). They are even a bit more comfortable to wear. I always liked the mid-gray color. Seems to go with nearly everything I wear without looking like old school dress socks. Comrad is the only compression sock company with a wide leg version, doesn’t look like a dress sock, comes in non-dress-sock solid colors, and consistently stocks in my size. There are others with cooler designs and wild colors, but the colors are never consistent from season to season and my size is rarely stocked, if they even have a wide leg version. I can wear these with casual boots, sneakers, etc. and it’s the type of sock that just never looks out of place no matter the shoe, boot, or outfit. The key to making these last is following the washing directions religiously. Wash gentile in cold water with a mild detergent and always air dry. I’ve taken to air drying a lot more these days, so it doesn’t bother me. Never seen any compression socks that recommend tumble dry, so if you already know compression socks, these are no different.

These are really nice. I like the way the compression feels around my ankles. I'm only 5 feet and some compression socks are too long but these hit at my knees without issue.

I was willing to pay more for these as they appeared to offer the size customization not readily available in cheaper pairs and I was looking for some real compression around my ankles for long flights so was will to tolerate the nylon feel. I've had compression stockings years ago when I was pregnant and I know what they are supposed to feel like. They should be hard to put on - they have to be TIGHT in the foot & ankle area to be effective. Sadly, these go on easily - like running socks - and although the fit was perfect, so were the ones that were a fraction of the price, none having any real compression value to them. There is no way these would keep my ankles and feet from swelling up on long flights and for $30 I just expected more. They might possibly be better than nothing for daily wear, but I don't need that. I wear a 9.5/10 women's shoe size with 14" calves so I bought the medium/wide size but I have narrow/slim feet and ankles. I guess I will have to visit a medical supply store locally to get ones that actually compress.

YES! As a 48-year-old with a desk job and POTS, I wanted something to help with my swelling ankles and hopefully help with my overall circulation and feet/leg health. I bought 3 pairs for my upcoming long flight and ended up going back for 10 more pairs! They are cute, super comfortable, don't leave big ugly indents when removed, and feel like wonderfully comfy hugs around my legs. Cozy, subtle footbed cushion is lovely. I had attempted other cheaper (made if not in price) compression socks off and on in the past and decided they weren't for me, with the discomfort and struggle getting them on, followed by the day of feeling like my ankles and legs had rubber bands on them. My comrade socks are 💯 different, and I am a sold customer! I plan to get a pair for our family member as Christmas stocking stuffers this year.
