Why is it a good deal? 💰

At just $13, they're only a dollar shy of their all-time low, but even so, these socks rarely dip below this price — now is the time to jump on this deal. They come in eight color combinations, but you'll get the best savings in neutral colors.

Why do I need this? 🤔

If you spend a lot of time on your feet, you're a runner or you spend a lot of time in airplanes, you've probably experienced swelling in your feet and legs. To remedy the discomfort and the fatigue that comes with it, these knee-high wonders cloak your calves and feet to boost blood flow and calm swelling. They may also help ease varicose-vein discomfort and reduce the risk of blood clots.

The knit mesh in these socks is crafted from a polyester-spandex blend, so it's not just stretchy and supportive — it's also moisture-wicking and breathable. These stockings also feature a seamless toe to minimize friction. Thick, soft cushioning in the soles helps absorb shock and ward off overuse injuries, giving your feet all-day comfort. On top of all that, they maintain their shape and compression, wash after wash.

What reviewers say 💬

More than 20,000 shoppers rave about these top-selling socks.

Pros 👍

"I'm a nurse, so I need enough compression to decrease throbbing, sore legs," shared a happy health-care worker. "For me, they can't be stiff. These are great. They hold pressure, yet are still soft and comfortable. They're also flexible enough and easy to put on, so that I’m not on my back swearing, just to put one sock on."

"A travel necessity," wrote a wise wanderer. "Purchased these for a trip from Seattle to Dublin and it was a game-changer. I arrived ready to hit the ground running. My shoes fit and weren't the least bit tight (and they were new shoes, not yet broken in). As an added bonus, my daughter sprained her ankle at night and they worked to keep the swelling down until we could get her an ankle brace. ... Who doesn't love a product that does double duty?"

"As a server, I wear support stockings daily at work," wrote another rave reviewer. "These stockings are energizing, comfortable, stylish and stay up!"

Cons 👎

Some shoppers say they'd like these socks more with a minor tweak.

"I've had these socks for a few weeks and I like them so far. Fairly easy to put on and seem to give good support to the upper leg, but just wish they had more cushioning for the foot," said one.

Another shopper agreed: "I wish they were more cushioned."
