Amazon Basic Care Compression Stockings Reviews Summary

Comfort and Fit

Pros:

• "The size chart was spot on."
• "These reduce the pain in my feet so much."
• "Nice, thick yet breathable fabric that wraps around your legs very smoothly."
• "Sturdy, stayed up perfectly and quite comfortable too."
• "They are very comfortable and don't roll down."
• "These are the comfiest compression socks I own, they’re thin and breathable."
• "They were surprisingly easy to put on."

Cons:

• "These were way too long for me."
• "They were way too tight and dug into my skin at every joint."
• "It felt like it was ripping my skin when I took them off."
• "These seemed great, except they are so long."
• "The non slip dots that keep the thigh highs from sliding down are the worst!"
• "The elastic band around thigh stretched out after about 15 hours of use and began to slip down."
• "They are much smaller than their sizing."

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "Hand washed very well... Ready for the other leg procedure."
• "Have hand washed them several times and no issues there."
• "They are of a good quality, a good price, and were delivered quickly."
• "These seem very sturdy and well made, I think they'll last a long time."
• "Washing them in cold water and allowing them to air-dry has helped them keep their shape and not ruin the elastic."
• "They have provided a lot of relief for my condition."
• "They stay up, which is always a gamble on thigh-high products, and they don't dig into your thigh excessively (just enough to stay up)."

Cons:

• "Waste of money. You can see right through them."
• "It was not easy to get it on, like all the other compression socks."
• "These socks are very poor. They do not stay up for even a few minutes."
• "The stockings seem cheaply made too, ZERO compression compared to how a legit compression stockings should feel."
• "They also seem to snag a little more easily than the more expensive ones."
• "The material is like pantyhose. Do Not Buy!"
• "Inferior quality as compared to sigvaris. Stockings do not stay up and I poked a hole in the top while constantly pulling them up on the first day they were worn."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "I did NOT want to spend almost $100 to buy more of the expensive stockings from my vein doc, so I tried these."
• "Saved a ton of money with these!"
• "Great quality and price...I bought two pairs."
• "Great price too!"
• "Plus you can’t beat the price!"
• "Very supportive & quality is equal to the ones that cost 2-4 times more!"
• "Compared to the price of others, they're worth it even if they only last a couple of months."

Cons:

• "I threw them in the garbage. 20 bucks shot down the drain"
• "Not too happy, and they aren’t returnable."
• "I am very disappointed. I ordered two pair of these stocking in December 2022 and loved them. However, in spite of hand washing, and alternating between the two pair, after 3 1/2 to 4 months, one pair began to slip down while wearing, while the other pair was still like new."
• "Don't waste your money."
• "But after first use it ran a hole in them like pantyhose."
• "These slide down, are thin and cut off your circulation behind your knee."
• "After wearing them only once overnight I developed a bad reaction through entire leg."
