Great fit for us "fluffy" ladies ...
I've been wearing compression socks since 2015 when I was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency. My doctor at the time recommended 18-22 mmHg compression, so I alternate between 15-20 and 20-30 depending on how I'm feeling in the morning. The biggest problem I've had is finding compression socks THAT FIT in something other than black, "nude," and white.
No problem now ...
I LOVE these socks. My calves can vary between 19.5" and 23.5" depending on how much swelling I'm having (it's always worse in the summer). No problem -- these socks can handle it. They're 15-20 mmHg (the description is a little confusing -- at one point it says 20-30 mmHg, but I assure you, these are 15-20. Six years of constant wear, you get to where you can tell the difference immediately).
I started with the black ones (just to try them out) and was so happy I purchased the purple/aqua/pink set. They fit great, with no super-tight binding at the top (a problem with other "wide calf" socks), and the colors work nicely for me.
Be sure to take note of the size chart in the photos above -- ordering the correct size will make a huge difference in comfort. I'm just over 5'8" and have big feet, so the "Large" size works perfectly.
Very happy with these -- no issues at all. Highly recommend.
