ambitiousblonde Specializes in ICU. Has 5 years experience. Nov 4, 2014 http://nabeesocks.com/collections/womensThese socks are awesome! When I first ordered mine about a year ago, they didn't have an XL in women's, so I bought a L. The website says if you're b/t sizes then order the smaller size. I wear a 9 1/2 -10 and the L is too small by the end of shift (my toes feel crammed) I'm going to order the XL now they're in stock!! 0 Likes
SammieJo09 Nov 27, 2014 Yes! I don't notice a huge difference on how my legs feel during the day but when I'm trying to sleep after my shift they don't ache as much! I picked up some diabetic compression socks at Walmart for very reasonable price $10-15? Worth every penny! I also use them for international travel to help with with swelling. Great investment for me. 0 Likes
crj96 Specializes in Rehabilitation. Has 4 years experience. Nov 30, 2014 I was coming home every morning and having to lay on my back with my feet in the air, massaging lotion into my lower legs to make them stop aching. I bought some compression socks from a vendor at a Christmas show a couple weeks ago and it's made a huge difference! I appreciate all the brand suggestions here. :) 0 Likes
