Physix Gear Short Compression Socks for Men & Women - Best Low Compression Socks Women & Men Ankle Socks with Arch Support

I love the quality of these support socks so detailed with a lot of thought. I was hesitant to spend nearly ten bucks for a pair of socks but to my surprise there were two, I totally misread it and so happy I ordered all of the bright colors. I love the comfort and the texture doesn't feel hot like a sweat sock but warm and snuggled. Really feels like they are toning my feet. And they are made with added support for the ankle, the material comes up around the ankles more in the back not the front to allow for comfort when wearing sneakers or shoes of your choice. They also keep the swelling down and not just in my feet but my ankles and calf too and they are super cute. So happy with my bright colors I went back the day after wearing them and ordered all the neutral colors too. You must buy them, start with one and I promise you will buy them all. I submitted photos to get a feel for what I am trying to convey. I am an 8.5 and the s/m worked fine for me however snug so if your feet size is larger than a nine, I would invest in a bigger size. I actually took the time to give this review the time it deserves WITH photos that is saying a lot for me now put them in your cart and forget about it.

I own these socks (Physix Gear Sport Compression Running Socks for Men & Women - Best Athletic Low Cut Socks with No Show Ankle Design - Premium Quality Stitching) in Size: S/M (US Women 5.5-8.5 / US Men 5-9) and I also own Physix Gear Plantar Fasciitis Socks with Arch Support for Men & Women - Best 24/7 Compression Foot Sleeve for Aching Feet & Heel Pain Relief - Washes Well, Holds Shape & Better Than a Night Splint in Size: S/M (Women 4-7.5 / Men 6.0-8.0). I am 5'6", weigh 185 pounds, wear Newton Running stability running shoes size 8 1/2. I got back into running to loose weight. As the frequency and distance I run increased (I average 8 miles/7 days week), the combination of shoes and socks I used stopped working. I tried a variety of combinations of shoes and socks both brands and types within brand (Adidas, Nike, Thorlos, Wright Socks, PROtreads, Terramar, Fox River Socks, ...). I also tried a variety of compression socks from a variety of companies. For graduated compression on my legs, I use compression tights from Adidas, 2XU, or Nike Pro and find that works better for me. Since I bought these, I love my running shoes (Newton Running Motion 6, Newton Running Kismet 3) again. I can't run using just these socks however. I use them as compression below running socks with better cushioning (my favorites being Adidas Climalite (assorted fabric combinations) with arch support (more of a concept than a reality) and cushioned foot bed; and PROtreads Expeilits). I tried running with compression sleeves (Physix Gear Sport and other brands) and found that they offered too much compression and shifted around on runs. They took too long to put on under running socks (it could take 10 minutes to get the sleeve to lay flat and align under a running sock). All of sleeves I tried (about a dozen including Physix Gear Sport) all offered either too much or too little compression. These socks on the other hand offer the right amount of compression and are simple to put on. I really like Physix Gear Sport and the products that they make. They simple make superior products and have incredible customer support. They follow up purchases, and want to ensure their utter satisfaction. They are very interested in customer loyalty, after my first purchase they sent a 10% off coupon and after my last 2 purchases sent 15% off coupon which I will be using to purchase additional pairs of these socks. I replace my running shoes (I alternate shoes each running day) every 4 months and suspect that I will need to replace these socks every 6 months which at $5/pair is more than reasonable. I use the following Physix Gear Sport products: 1. Physix Gear Sport Compression Running Socks for Men & Women - I use them on daily runs and no other time 2. Physix Gear Plantar Fasciitis Socks with Arch Support for Men & Women - Best 24/7 Compression Foot Sleeve for Aching Feet & Heel Pain Relief - Washes Well, Holds Shape & Better Than a Night Splint - I use these only as part of Recovery when I increase distance I ran on a particular day and no other time I wish they made a version of this sock for Vibram 5 finger running shoes. The compression sleeves don't work any better under socks made for running in Vibram 5 finger running shoes.

Really Like the product. Brought many over the years. Good, tight but not too tight fit and fits well and is a perfect low cut compression sock that is thin. Wish would last longer. Gets holes in the ball of foot (sometimes heal too) sooner than expected. Wears out faster through normal wear compared to other socks. Mainly west just in shoes (ie not without shoes such as in the house). Hopefully will make manufacturing change or design update to slightly thicken or better/differnt material for ball of foot and heel.l so socks last longer without getting holes. ;)👍🙂

The material is breathable and moisture-wicking, which keeps my feet dry and comfortable even during intense training sessions. I also appreciate the stylish design that complements my athletic gear seamlessly. Overall, these socks are an excellent choice for anyone looking for quality performance wear. Highly recommended for runners and fitness enthusiasts!

If you truly have swelling and inflammation issues that causes pain in your feet I would recommend the knee highs over these. These socks provide adequate compression, but I was expecting more. I tried them out walking for long distances, and for walking the compression is good. My feet didn’t swell too much and thus didn’t hurt after several hours. With shorts this crew style is preferrable than knee highs. However, when working out with rigorous jumping and aerobics i wanted something that would alleviate even 1/4 of the pain caused by inflammation while not being knee highs. I was disappointed when 5 minutes into a cycling class my feet started to hurt like normal. No difference. Plus the toe seam is bulky and if I tie my shoes tight the way I need to when working out, it starts rubbing and is a little uncomfortable in the toes...I have another brand of the same rated compression knee highs that have a toe seam that I don’t feel and it feels like walking on air compared to these! So look for better ones and get knee highs if you are getting them for medical reasons. Finally I got Sm/Medium for womens size 9N. It is a little too long and the heel and toe areas can bunch up. It’s not too noticeable, but I think that might play a part in the seam bothering my toe area. The material is a bit rough for my liking too. It took some getting used to. The odor prevention is ok. The other brand that are knee highs, the material is much better. I worked out in those, and there was no hot foot odor. after a workout in these I will say my feet did stay dry, but there was a slight odor to them. For walking or being on my feet a lot these socks are better than wearing regular socks. But for workouts and gym work which is ideally where I wanted to use these, I am disappointed in the overall feel, smell and effectiveness of the compression.

Very comfortable

I have had a couple of pair of Physix Gear "long" compression socks and liked them a great deal. I went online to buy another pair and noticed they had low cut compression socks so I decided to try them. They work great. Very comfortable - once you get them on. Since they are compression, they obviously fit very tight and I have to struggle to get them over my heel (just like the "long" compression socks I have). But once you get them on (and it gets easier and faster after a few times) there is a little extra room in the toes. This keeps my toes from being compressed together and gives them freedom. I think that is what makes these so comfortable. Once they are on, you really don't know they are there. My feet, ankles and lower legs frequently swell. The long socks do a great job keeping everything from swelling. These low cut socks do the same thing for my feet. No swelling! There is still a little swelling above the ankles but, it doesn't seem to be as much as if I didn't have them on at all.

these are socks , they fit as should and easy to put on
