20 Best Plus Size Compression Socks (2022 Updated)

These were very comfortable for Compression stockings. and the band edge did not cut off my circulation as it is wide for added comfort. Price is great too!! Color was just right for all my blue slacks and jeans.

I’m satisfied with the items I purchased and would recommend this item , thanks, H.W.

Socks were of good quality and I enjoy wearing them. One thing you might watch is that the price tag was still on them and I was charged more than the original price.

Not enough info. At least give the circonference of the area(ex 10 inc) above the ankle (ex 12 inc). , as when you go to the dr. Then we can choose the SIZE. Now it is just guessing. Also classify the different types (like made in USA, in Singapore,in China.

).

This product offers complete support and feels very comfortable. I would highly recommend this product to family and friends alike.

This is a good product. I like the presence of cotton in the stocking. It’s much cooler to wear.

These stockings have great stretch which comes from the front being a lace like fabric and the back of the stocking is a compression fabric. The toe and heel area are a reinforced. I have both of my legs with compression wraps and these stockings fit right over my bandages.

They are very comfortable yet have an excellent amount of compression on there own. They launder nicely but I would suggest air drying the stockings. i purchased two pair and would buy this product again.

Was hoping these were going to be my go to socks but they did not stay up! I spent the whole day pulling them back up

I was hesitant about these socks I have super muscular calves and it’s hard to find anything that fits over them! But these work and were perfect! They are on the thinner side just an FYI

The service was great, in spite of the shipping challenges. Unfortunately, I’m disappointed with both pairs of stockings. First, the EvoNation stockings are described as SHEER, & NUDE. In what alternate reality? No amount of stretching can give these stockings a sheer look.

In my opinion, the fiber (not sure that’s the correct word) used to make them is too thick and feels kind of course. Plus, the color is also too dark to be nude. I’m grateful they were on sale, they aren’t worth their suggested retail price.

On the other hand, Mediven stockings always deliver on their promise. Not only do they help me manage the swelling in my legs & feet, but they also make my legs feel good, and they have a nice silky feel.

They’re not my grandma’s compression stockings. However, I think I got the wrong size this time. I chose the Petite IV. In the past I got Petite III. It seems like the IV maybe too long. Can you help?.

I have been shopping for lighter weight compression socks for years because of a rebuilt knee and torn ligaments. I wear these every day because of permanent swelling in my leg. These are comfortable and stay up where I put them.

I love both lengths of these socks although I have to fold down the longer version which is more like socks. These are petite and fit me perfectly. They are more like stockings. They are made well and unlike stockings they aren’t thin so they don’t have runs or anything like that.

Give them a try. You won’t cry when you put them on because they are too tight like full compressions socks and you will find them comfortable all day long.

I chatted online with brightlife before ordering these hose. I stated the woman’s 7 was too tight for me. I ask if the mens was wider. Response was to order a size 6. I said no if 7 is too small 6 is going to be smaller.

I was then assured the 7 was larger than the 7 petite. On your recommendation I ordered the size 7. They definitely are not larger only longer. So now I have two new pair of hose I cannot wear. The regular size 7 are even worse than the petite because if I get them on they cut into the back of my knees or wrinkle at the ankles.

I have been your customer for many years. I will find a better source for my needs with employees that know what they are talking about.

I have been purchasing Medivan calf compression stockings for years. I have tried many other brands and have always had issues with them falling down. Medivan has been amazing and have always done an incredible job staying up and doing their job.

The quality is amazing and last for years. I would recommend them over any other company’s compression stocking. For your legs has always been reasonable, has good service and is usually cheaper then most other companies.

I have been purchasing Medivan compression stockings from them for years. Highly recommend stocking and company!!.

The Mediven is a high quality product. It is important to order the correct size. On my recent order I ordered a petite size and it made a big difference in how well the stocking controlled the swelling of my ankle and leg.

I also ordered a size III instead of IV. My measurements didn’t match the guide exactly so I decided to try the smaller size. So far I think it was a good decision. I was happy with the ease of ordering and the customer service of the company.

I have worn compression stockings for years. I always use the donning gloves and the nylon sock to apply the stocking.

I tired these in medium and small and I also tried a Jobst sock in medium. I am familiar with compression. I use compression tights all day when I ski and recovery tights after. These socks give the appropriate amount of compression.

If you feel they are too tight, it is not the sock. It is you. Go for less compression or size up if you know you are heavy. These compression Z socks seem to be made with a very similar material as the Jobst, but are much thicker and tighter.

They also have areas of reinforcement to add more pressure in zones unlike the Jobst. Even though the Compression Zs were tighter than the Jobst, which ended up falling off my calf at the end of the day, I ended up going with a small because I felt they were to long in a medium.

They went up about halfway up the kneecap, which cut off circulation in the back of them as there is a stronger band there. They should stop about an inch below the knee. Even the small was too long, though I could mange the stretch so the end up just below the knee.

I could also stretch the foot out so the heel is halfway up my Achilles, but again, not stretching so much put things in the appropriate place. I still can handle the compression Z in small, though I will say, that is tight, probably 50-60 mmHG.

In fact, to combat the length issue, I am now folding the sock back down over itself (as if you were taking it off) at where the calf starts. This will now give me a bit more compression at the ankle because the sock is then doubled in that area.

Still, I can sleep all night with them with no deleterious effects. FYI: I wear a size 8, have a very wide foot and my calf in the middle range (14″). I am using this to help prevent and reduce swelling after a pretty bad ankle fracture, so it’s not like I am not using them in a sensitive area.

As far as durability, the first pair developed a small tear after 3-4 uses around the ankle area. It did not affect the performance of the sock but more tears would follow. I expect to get 40-50 uses before it would fail.

All the other socks wear fine, so it could have been a defect. From what I have gathered, having compression to the joint helps stimulate the healing process. I was told by my orthopedic foot and ankle specialist to try compression, though he did not give me a specific pressure or brand.

After just one day of use with the Compression Z socks, I saw a world of difference in my foot morphology, and that was with the medium sock. The small even works better! I highly recommended the compression Zs.

I just wish they made a petite or short version for use short people (I am 5′-8″, so really not THAT short!). So one star off. I hope this review helps you make a choice.

I am only giving these socks 4 stars, because I when I saw them online, I thought they looked a little more like pantyhose, so I thought they would work well with skirts and dresses, but they definitely still look like compression socks.

BUT if you are fine with them looking like nude colored compression socks, they are a good buy! I think they are reasonably priced and comfortable. I just wear them around the house with pants or if I’m going out.

I’ll wear them with pants and shoes, and they don’t look bad.

This order fulfills my second order of wearing these hose. Initially finding them on Amazon, I am pleased with the price, ($140. 00 vs. $400. 00+), for seven pair. These hose do the same, if not better than going through “professional” retailers to be measured.

Not only that, but, for the most part, insurance doesn’t cover the expense. I chose black but I understand there are other colors available. There are also different levels of compression available for both women and men.

HIGHLY recommend this company. Quality service and product with affordable pricing.

Truform is a very reputable brand. The product itself was well made. I paid for (4) brand NEW items. However, I was sent (4) USED stockings in boxes that were badly busted. The stockings were noticeably worn, and some appeared to have been flat ironed to give the appearance of newness.

Despite the efforts to repackage these as new, the stockings had an unpleasant scent. I returned these to my local store immediately for a full refund. No retailer should ever send any customer products in this condition.

It is absolutely appalling. Subsequently, my actual rating for this purchase is ZERO. I am forced to elevate the rating to one star because the system requires a selection. Customers deserve better.

These are the worst compression socks/hose I have ever purchased. They have no compression in the heel and toe areas, only loose nylon material. The leg material is super thick and hot. With no compression in the heel and toe areas, the foot and ankle swells creating an area of the foot with abnormal swelling shaped like an avocado on the inside of the ankle.

After trying them on, I immediately returned the pair I ordered and will never order any products from Truform again.

I have had to wear compression sock continuously since my 30’s and I’m now 55. I am a very active person and these socks hold up going to the gym 6 days a week for all kinds of activity, especially Cardio group exercise.

These hold up! I have bought some were almost 2X as much that didn’t make it through two wearings without a seam failing. These are comfortable enough for wearing at the office all day as they could pass as nice dress socks then hold up under compression meggings like high end sports wear.

I am replacing all my socks with these. BY FAR the best value I have found anywhere!.

These are actually fairly comfortable. I have a a desk job. These assist with my legs feeling less fatigued. I was a little concerned they might be restrictive at the top but they are comfortable and stay put.

Do not go by measure chart…. Lol. I got xtra large and the sock barely will stretch over my hand and arm! These are made with very good material so I ordered a 4x Large and I can’t wait to get them. I had no choice, I don’t have a store near me that has any socks , either they are too big, small or not a good material.

What Walmart has in the store is an itchy wool like material. These socks here are a smooth nice material, just not near as big as the size chart. U have to order a couple sizes bigger.

Good compression; its gonna press and promote good blood flow. Feel /legs feel amazing; compression and support in certain point of foot; holds up at knee and doesnt slide down ; good for running errands , work etc.

Really love this product ! I had a severe fall a couple of weeks ago and torn a muscle in my calf. These socks really helped me recover as fast as possible. They’re super soft and yet supportive. I work at a pharmacy and stand all day on my feet and this makes that a little less painful.

Oh My Gosh! I finally found the best compression socks. They are awesome. If you are a plus size (2X,3X), and you keep spending money on compression socks that are too small or extremely uncomfortable, ugly, and expensive, buy these.

These are the most comfortable compression socks that are easy to get on! They are amazing! I am ordering more!.

It was suggested that I buy compression socks for clinicals, so needless to say I didn’t know what I was purchasing exactly. After finally giving them a go, I can definitely tell that my legs will thank me.

Ha! They are not extremely constricting as to be uncomfortable, which I appreciate. And what can I say, they’re awful cute! I’ll be returning soon for more! :).

Very cheap fabric. I would not have paid $1.00 for them in the store because they look that cheap. I will return and purchase another pair of socks that warrant a $14.00 price tag!

I purchased 2 different brands of socks, and needed to send back the competitor’s brand (also purchased here), because I could not even get them over my foot! I have this style in several colors and styles.

My feet and legs are not tired by the end of the day, and these NURSE MATES compression socks TRULY make a difference in how your legs feel at the end of the day. The colors have held up over time, and the material has not frayed.

The patterns are fun. Like most compression socks, they are not dry-fit. I am petite (5’1″) with very muscular and wide calves, and both the OS and OSX fit just fine. My only additional feedback is that for those with very sensitive skin, the embroidered nature of the patterns, particularly with a “thicker” or wider graphic, results in a slightly bumpy part of the sock.

If the graphic is on a friction point of your clog (or footwear), it might be bothersome to those with sensitive skin. It does also leave a very temporary impression of the graphic molded into your leg (which I personally think is kinda fun.

) but for those who may have a medical issue with circulation, or very sensitive skin, it may not be a welcome feature. If this is a concern for you, try the “seamless” or “tie dye” version of the NURSE MATES sock, and this may help with those particular issues.

Love my compression socks. They’re comfortable, affordable and look great. Only thing better than the product is the customer service. It’s the best I have ever experienced! One of my socks had a defect and had to be returned.

Allheart immediately sent me a UPS envelope with postage pre-paid to return the socks in. Then, they sent a new pair and I returned the defective pair. Easy peasy! I recently experienced fradulent activity with shoes.

com and was hesitant to order online again. Allheart renewed my faith in the system! Thanks so much.

Being on my feet all day with patients, I need proper support. These are super comfy with cute patterns. I also purchased compression socks with hoot owls snd panda bears. When I remove my socks, there is an imprint of the pattern on my calf.

Lol. I throw them in the wash and hang dry. Def recommend.

The problem is that I am a size 9 foot, but my calf size is larger that what the size 9 calls for. I asked customer service, and they recommended choosing the size that would fit my calf. The problem is that I was referred to getting compression socks because of leg AND foot pain, and while these help my legs, they do nothing for my feet.

In fact, because the foot is so much longer than needed, I’m having a hard time positioning the material so that it does not gather around my ankle and feel like there is something hard and unyielding pressing against the front of my ankle all day.

It only feels like that when I flex my foot, thankfully, but I can’t exactly keep my toes pointed all day, lol. I have less trouble with this particular pair than with the recycled cotton ones I got, thankfully, but it’s still an issue.

I know this isn’t really the company’s fault, and this is just something that happens with compression socks and me, but I wish that companies maybe made more options and offered more calf sizes in each foot size.

These socks were one of two pairs of knee highs I tried from Comrad. They were the more iffy option for me when I laced the order bc of the nylon content, which typically causes feet to sweat. I travelled in them internationally for 11 hours at a stretch and there were absolutely no sweaty feet, no feeling of getting overheated, and no swollen feet either! They worked really well at their task of improving circulation.

On my last such trip, at age 42 and 99lbs, I was surprised to see my ankles and feet puff up by the end of my journey, so that my shoes hardly fit. This time, none of that discomfort, no feeling of restless legs, nada.

Plus, they don’t feel tight when you put them on. They feel well-fitted, rather than suffocating. I’m really happy.

Bought a pair of 6-12. Could not even get them on my size 12 feet. Fit mostly on the foot except for about 2-3 inches of the toe and could not try to pull them up the calf. Thought I could exchange for the x-large in less compression.

Absolutely no option to exchange for any color or style in the x-large. Okay, I understand that. On return option, it deducts discount code I used in calculating my refund off of the amount I paid. So, I paid $8 to try on a pair of socks that will not fit without any options to get a larger size because it is unavailable.

Absolutely absurd rip-off. Do not order online unless you have been able to try on a pair in person. I am usually forgiving of exchanges and missed opportunities in sizes but this is unfathomable keeping even more than what a shipping deduction would cost.

I thought these were going to be knee high socks but they’re slightly thicker than panty hose. The decorative back is polyester and silky, just felt weird. And for once, these were actually too big, my calf is about 20-21″ and these were loose and if I hadn’t been wearing fitted pants they would have slide down, they weren’t stretchy like socks either.

If you have larger legs they may fit better. 3 stars for no elastic and comfort overall.

Great socks. I have large calves and these fit very comfortably. I bought 4 pairs and love each design/color. Seller includes inspirational scriptures in the packaging. Thank you!

My whole life I have had big calves. Didn’t matter how much I weighed or how hard I exercised. That’s just who I am! I am so freaking excited to have FINALLY found knee highs to go over my calves! These are so comfortable, fit great, and don’t cut off the circulation at the knee.

So glad I bought 4 pairs.

I needed short length from the floor to my knees, these are perfect for that. I needed a wide top band so they wouldn’t cause indentations, these were perfect for that as well. However my ankles and feet are not large.

These socks were made large from bottom to the top. Way too loose around my ankles and feet. Didn’t work well for compression.

These socks are very comfortable. It is almost like not having any on at all. I highly recommend them for anyone who has to wear medium compression, compression socks.

I am on my feet all day and occasionally experience swollen ankles. These light compression socks allow me to stay on my feet all day comfortably without any swelling. They are easy to put on and sheer enough to look like you have nothing on.

I need to wear compression stockings and they are so hot during the summer. These stockings are thinner but I still feel the compression.

These socks are perfect. So comfortable. Fit my smaller feet and easy to put on. Plus they are so cute.

One of the most comfortable socks. I love buying my nursing scrubs from Uniform Advantage!

I bought these socks (And I also bought Keen hiking boots) to hike the Smoky Mountains. I wore and washed them everyday for 6 days. I noticed significant improvement in my endurance because of these socks.

My ankles didn’t swell at all. At first I wore them down around the ankles, and then after a couple days of hiking and some sore calf muscles I pulled them up to underneath my knees. I think this is probably how they should be worn all the time anyways, but it was my first time with compression socks— It was pretty stylish nonetheless.

Once I pulled them up, I hardly had any more sore calves. I wore these socks with my Duluth shorts and my Duluth Keen hiking boots, And it was an optimal combination. I’m extremely impressed with the quality, and what these socks did for my legs.

I wear size 8. 5 shoes And even though these are “mens” socks they fit just right.

My Doctor wants me to wear compression socks, so, I ordered some online that were NOT Duluth and they were awful. I struggled to get them on and then they didn’t stay up at times. I knew Duluth makes good long-lasting stuff and so I ordered theses compression socks and they are the greatest.

The fit is true to size, they are comfortable and my Duluth socks have a much longer life-span. If you are looking for good fit and quality, this is it. I won’t buy my compression socks anywhere else.

I wear these every day. They were really snug the first time I put them on but now they go right on.

I have always had trouble finding knee socks that fit my somewhat larger calves, and that stay up. Now that I am older and need to wear compression socks, the hunt for comfortable socks got that much harder – until now.

These Women’s Wide Calf Compression Socks really fit the bill. Like all compression socks, they are an effort to put on, but when they are on, they FIT, and they STAY UP. I wore them for the entire day, and they remained comfortable.

No rolling, sliding down, or cutting into my skin at the tops – just comfortable socks. Would love to see these in a wider selection of colors.

overall, I really liked the socks. Its hard for me to decide a size since each company decides what the dimensions are for x-large vs large. this is where I ran into trouble with these socks. I ordered x-large because when I’ve ordered large with other companies, the socks are just a bit too small.

But ordering x-large with these mean they were really, really too big. so I’m thinking of buying a large size and then if they don’t fit then I’ll return them.

Was advertised as a “cool” stocking – just right for summer. It doesn’t fulfill that idea at all. It is warm and cozy. And thicker than other compression socks. Also the contrasting toes and heels of the socks are UGLY and the heels show above the tops of my shoes.

I shall use them in boots. I shall not be purchasing any additional socks from your company.

Excellent excellent compression socks. As comfy and easy to wear as advertised. I just wish those of us women who need XL had the option of a shorter length in the foot area. Big calves don’t automatically equate to long feet! But absolutely perfect otherwise.

I’ve ordered more.
