STOX Energy Socks Everyday Merino Compression Socks for Men

I’m an older Paramedic now working in Primary Care and spend a lot of time on my feet. After 20 years of running around after patients, I started getting signs of superficial and varicose veins to my lower legs. I have patients a few years older than me with swollen lower legs, ulceration, pain etc and reducing or limited mobility second to this. They are typically treated with compression hosiery often by district nurse colleagues in the community if the patient is housebound. I run (plod!) 5k twice a week. One of our district nurses is older too and in training for marathon and we had a chat about getting older and the toll work takes. She recommended Stox for running and work as a reliable, long-lasting and appropriate appliance. I’d never really looked at my legs objectively and considered preventative measures for myself later in life. I’m not paricularly muscular in my legs and my calves are soft and averagely proportioned to my ankle and measuring is important when considering buying online direct rather than through a health care professional. I have been using Stox for a week now and felt improvement immediately. I hadn't really been aware that my lower legs were in fact achey and heavy until I wore Stox. Now my feet feel lighter. Muscle action feels more toned and prompt. I can stand long hours vaccinating without even thinking about my feet. My 5k plod is a breeze now. They have made a difference that I wasn’t aware I needed and there’s reassurance that they’re at least slowing down the onset of those venous insufficiency signs which creep on as we get older and more so as we become less mobile. I’m independent and wish to stay so. Mobility preservation is a huge part of that. So I’ve planned ahead and I’m happy with impact Stox has. I’m off for a long walk now and wish you similar success.

You get what you pay for, these are dear but the best I've had.

Not really a compression sock, there are better products on the market

Super comfortable (for a compression sock). The wool content means it regulates temperature well. I wore on two 19 hour journeys without any problem. They hand washed well. Highly recommended.

Very comfortable. Good, firm hold within range.

Poor fit on slim legs impossible to get on without a struggle

Order a size up. I did and as they are compression socks, they are not the easiest things to get on, but once on, very comfortable.

The product was as I expected - another good buy via Amazon

Die Kompressionsstrümpfe passen sehr gut und sind angenehm zu tragen. Sie haben uns beim Langstreckenflug sehr geholfen.

goede sokken lekker lang zitten prima en minder dikke voeten en mensen met maat 46 van schoen ik had l xl kan ook 46 a 47

Calza alta per i runner. Comoda per corse medie e lunghe, aiuta il polpaccio nella corsa e li sento meno affaticati

Bas de contention de très bonne qualité. Je recommande

Die mittlere Größe passt bei Schuhgröße 45 und Wadenumfang von 40 cm sehr gut. Beim ersten Anziehen geht es sehr streng, nach mehrmaligen tragen dehnen sich die Strümpfe und an u. ausziehen funktioniert besser. Trick beim Anziehen: den Strumpf komplett wenden (Innenseite nach aussen) den Vorfuß bis zur Ferse wieder reinstecken, dann auf den Fuß und den Strumpf überziehen.
