Overall Good, Some Issues
The photo is what the inside of the sock looks like. I should post a pic of the pressure marks caused by all of this unnecessary seamwork in the pressure socks - not a pretty sight, and very painful for some time after removing the socks. However, while wearing there was no discomfort and only minor irritation of them becoming too tight around my toes. Turning them inside out eliminates the issue of pressure sores but leaves you with unsightly fuzzy seams all over your socks. The price is right though, so if appearance doesn't matter they are still a good buy. I am also concerned that the material is so thin. Will it develoo an exit for my big toe the second time I wear them? Will the pressure socka lose their pressure when I was them? Time will tell. To be fair, they did boast of thin, beeathable material but my black socks are almost translucent - not typical of athletic garmets.I do have to give credit where it is due also. These socks perform as well as one of the major brands commonly prescribed by doctors, which I have used previously, and are both far cheaper and far more comdortable than said name brand. They also use standard sizing, unlike some of their competitors, which is a nice touch.Overall, I give them three stars and assuming the pair I bought holds up reasonably well and their price remains low I will probably purchase again.

Pros: Well made
Comfortable once you get them on (See cons)
Unique compression method (spiral-like)
Even support throughout

Cons: Good luck getting them over your heel- may need one of those shoehorn step on tools

I can't necessarily discuss longevity, and I don't think I could wear a large as a daily sock, however these are fantastic for running. I have pretty large calves and was worried about tightness, however during any kind of physical activity these perform wonderfully. The socks are well made symmetrical length, as well as moderately adjustable (pinch and twist around) to get a perfect fit. Then they stay where you put them. If I had these when I ran my half marathon a few weeks ago, I would have felt much less beat up afterwards. Looking forward to my next half wearing these.
Considering my upper leg girth and moderate difficulty putting them on, I wouldn't want to wear them every day, but they are indeed extremely comfortable once they're in place and don't feel like some of the cheaper banded socks that can cut into your leg.
They come to just under my knee joint which is perfect for lower leg pressure needed during long study sessions or running that is getting more abusive to my body as I age. I bought a couple of different brands to try out when I ordered these, and these seem to be the most well made throughout, as well as most supportive for physical activity. I did opt for another brand for my 18 hour study sessions to prevent ankle edema just for ease of wearing over multiple days.
I'm a fairly restrictive buyer. I also don't review many products because they simply do what they say they will, which they should. These impressed me, so I'm reviewing them. Hope I helped someone make a decision

I ordered 3 different pairs of compression socks and these were the winner! I’m a nurse and I’m on my feet almost all day so I really needed good compression socks to help my feet and prevent variocose veins. I tried these(blitzu), SB Sox and Stamina. And here were my overall thoughts:

1) Fit (using their size guide)
Blitzu - Perfect fit, like a glove.
SB Sox - Perfect as well.
Stamina - Too long in the leg and the material bunched behind my knee, and also extra material at the toe.

2) Compression (all 3 were 20-30mmHg)
Blitzu - Strong, you really felt it the moment they were on, and that kinesiology taping design... my feet felt amazing. It really hugged your foot without constricting.
SB Sox - The strongest out of the 3, but not uncomfortably so. I will say they did their job and my feet felt good at the end of the day but I also couldn’t wait to take them off haha!
Stamina - Disappointing again! They were sort of compressing when I put them on, but it almost felt like they were losing their compression strength at the end of the day.

3) Material
Blitzu - Thicker yet breathable. I also liked the texture.
SB Sox - Not as thick but also really soft. Also the design of the sock didn’t leave the funny markings on your legs when you remove them.
Stamina - Thin and lightweight. Sort of reminded my of dress socks with extra elastic.

Overall, the winner for me was Blitzu with an extremely close 2nd with the SB Sox. The Stamina socks were really disappointing AND the most expensive! I really wonder if maybe I went a size down from their suggesting sizing if it would’ve made a difference, but at this point I’m sold on Blitzu. I think what made me like Blitzu more then SB was the kinesiology taping on the foot. They both had their own plus’s but at the end of the day the Blitzu socks were the only ones I didn’t want to take off and my feet felt amazing. I still really like the SB Sox and will continue to wear them, and it might just be a preference in wants/needs when deciding between them. The stamina socks on the other hand went straight in the trash, so disappointing. Literally felt like I was just wearing a tight dress sock that was made for someone 7 feet tall.

Ok these are very well made, very durable, very warm. They are really hard to get on which I'm told is normal but these are like crazy hard to get in and out of. They're also not long enough and are insanely tight at the toes but that could be because I'm 6'5" and I wear a size 14 shoe. These were so right at my toes that it actually began bending my toes backwards from the tension but my feet may have just been too large because these definitely don't seem like they were made for bigger guys. I really wish I could find a pair just like these that are a good bit longer and maybe in a sleeve design because everything else about them was perfect. Also if you want some that are really warm and cozy for winter time then these are amazing for that as well.
