I highly recommend [Comrad compression socks](https://www.comradsocks.com). Super supportive and comfortable for 12 hour shifts. Their recycled cotton line is super breathable and also uses a silver anti microbial which allows me to use multiple days before washing them.
12-hour shifts, super supportive and comfortable. Highlights recycled cotton breathability and silver antimicrobial for multi-day wear. Specific feature details.
I wear comrad socks and love them. They're pretty comfortable and not as expensive as the medical ones. They're 15-25 mmHG
Loves them, comfortable, more affordable than medical-grade. Specifies compression range (15-25 mmHg). Value positioning.
I like Comrad socks because they also make wide-calf sizes which I need for my short legs. Standard knee-high compression socks cut me off at the back of the knee and actually make my circulation worse.
Solves a specific problem: wide-calf sizing for short legs. Standard socks cause circulation issues at the knee, Comrad's sizing prevents this.
I really like the Comrad brand. They're more expensive but super comfortable and the compression is really effective. I have the knee high ones.
Acknowledges higher price but "super comfortable" and "really effective" compression. Specific style (knee high).
I got a few pairs from Comrad that I wear most days at this point (34 weeks) to help with swelling in general. They were one of the few brands that would fit my wide calves but are a little on the pricier side. Very comfy though, easy to get on and off, and I don't really feel the compression even though I can tell they are helping. I did get one pair of the recycled cotton and they aren't as comfy as the regular kind. https://www.comradsocks.com/collections/knee-high-compression-socks/products/
Daily wear at 34 weeks pregnant, fits wide calves, easy on/off, effective without feeling overly tight. Minor caveats: pricier and recycled cotton less comfy than regular.
My Smartwool ones are my favorite, but are hard to find. Otherwise I mostly wear comrad. I like that they have wider calf sizes for each size instead of just one wider calf size.
Primary daily wear choice (Smartwool is hard to find). Appreciates the granular wide-calf sizing system. Positive but secondary to another brand.
