O.T.C. - Advantage Gear Compression Sock

Not Quite There, For Me

Okay, I've bought a fair amount of Buffalo wool socks, and theyve all been very comfortable, warm, and resilient. And socks, especially wool ones, are a pretty personal, like or dislike thing. So, on a personal level,just for me, these were TOO compressive, in the Large I generally buy for myself. So tight they left bruising along my calf from the top band of elastic. I've had to wear medical grade compression socks before for healing from an injury, so I have an idea what compression socks feel like. This isnt coming out of left field. If I had ordered these a size larger, the upper might have been less tight, but the foot wouldn't have been correct, and the heel would have been too far back and up. And I'm not a huge guy (6-1, and 240) and age is creeping in, so my calves arent what they were. The socks are just too tight for me where the compression ribbing is. So a 5 for being bison wool and comfortable as heck in the foot, and a 3 for the extraordinary compression in the calf. Works out to a 4, so there you have it.

Great for every day wear!

Since the arrived, I’ve worn them everyday. Noticed that since I’ve started wearing them my feet and legs don’t seem as tired after wearing them. They offer just enough compression but not too tight. Love them and will be ordering more in the future.

Best danged socks I ever did buy! If your feet ain't happy, you ain't happy.
