Diu Life 3 Pairs Plus Size Compression Socks for Women and Men Wide Calf Extra Knee High Support for Circulation

Comfortable, good price and it took 2 years of wear before a hole appeared with and without shoes. One suggestion, you cand wash them in a washer, but I find they do better air drying (no shrinkage).

Easy to wear. First time I could put them on by myself.

They work. But second time wearing a pair and they already have a hole. Not cool.

I work long hours and my feet has stared to swell. After wearing the first pair I can see and feel the difference these compression socks have made. I need to purchase another set!

The reason I am giving the product a 3 star review, is because of the material quality of the product, not the fit nor comfort of the product. I have worked, aside from the military, the security profession since 1998. And over the years, the end result of duties has resulted in a decent case of fallen arches, and some neuropathy in the feet. So I tend to wear compression socks (mainly by Copper Fit) when on duty. Wal-Mart used to carry a good brand called "Medi-plus", but don't anymore. The issue with the Copper Fit brand, is even though I use the L/XL size, there are times when they still feel too snug, and a tad uncomfortable. So I looked into getting the product I am reviewing. Three pairs for the price I paid seemed to be a very good deal. So...The Pros: great comfortable Fit, providing the right amount of compression without being too tight.The Cons: I have only had these socks for less than a month, they have only been through about 3 wash cycles; and yet when I got home from work this morning, I discovered that there was a large hole in the big toe area on one of them, that can't really be repaired by sewing. I don't know if this is due to the thinness of the material or if the material itself is subpar. But it's a shame, as I was liking the product so much I was planning on getting some more before this occurred. If I could offer the manufacturers one suggestion it would be to make the socks out of a thicker and more durable material.

Are a little bigger than expected, washed them and they shrunk (not in bad way) and now they fit better.

I really like these

The sizing on these is inconsistent, to the point of one pair being almost too loose and another pair (same size, same pack) being impossibly small. It is not helped by the fact that other than "machine washable" I cannot find ANY details on washing ANYWHERE. No details on whether they can be tossed in the dryer, or if they must be line dried or lay flat.When I first opened the package I tried on a pair that had dots and they fit great! They went on easily, almost to the point of being slightly looser than I was expecting, but hugging tight enough not to slip down. Excellent! I thought, and threw the whole set in the wash. Washed on cold with other clothing, no fab softener or extra scent products, just detergent. Dryer on low, no dryer sheet or any other products, plain wool dryer balls.I pulled out a pair to wear to bed and it happened to be the ones with stripes. They were not easy to get on, very tight and a little shorter than the first, but manageable. I thought maybe my calves had swollen a little bit from the time I tried on the first pair, or they shrunk a bit in the dryer. No big deal, I was able to get them on and they will stretch a bit over time.The next day I tried on the pair with hearts. First of all, these seem to be a good 2 to 3 inches shorter than the first pair, and even shorter than the second pair. I couldn't even get them completely on, they were so tight they were painful and my fingertips are still sore from trying to pull them on.At this point I was CERTAIN I had messed them up in the dryer or something. Just to check I pulled out the first pair I tried, the dots, and they went on just the same as they did before washing. I definitely did not shrink them, the sizing is just so bad. I started to return them, but I had already washed them and thrown away the packaging when I verified the first pair fit. Lesson learned, keep the packaging and try on all the pairs. At least I know someone who can use the other pair of socks that just won't fit, and maybe the stripes will stretch a bit to a comfortable level.
