Sockwell Women's Twister Graduated Socks

Compression socks are an absolute must for me during pregnancy. Whenever the extra water weights starts coming on, my legs, ankles and feet suffer quite a bit. My first pregnancy three years ago I used Sockwell moderate graduated compression socks and those were great. I still have them and use them, but because my feet grew a half size, I wanted to bump up from a small to medium /large and also upgrade to the firm compression. I am so glad I did! The firm are everything the moderate ones are and more. They're so very comfy and supportive. I notice with the firm, my leg and foot pain is reduced significantly on days when I'm on my feet constantly. I love the quality of these socks. They're durable and breathable; warm enough for winter and airy enough for summer indoors with air conditioning. I am usually cold in the mornings when I wake up, esp during the heat of summer when the ac is running all night, and these are an absolute treat to put on first thing. They keep my legs warm and they get to working immediately. I've tried the cheaper ones sold on Amazon and while those do offer more intense compression in the calf area, they are not breathable nor are they half as comfortable. It's worth the extra bucks for a great pair of quality compression socks that, when cared for properly, will last years. Sockwell are the best you get get, imo. I do wish they made extra firm, though. Firm are great and the best i've tried so far, but I could stand even more compression. Tip: Machine wash inside out and hang dry these socks. I made the mistake of machine drying my first pair and I believe the heat compromised the sock a bit. Theyre still holding up fine, but I won't make the same mistake with this new pair.
