Yes, these socks are snug but I like that. They do seem tight but you get used to them after wearing them once or twice. I am sick of the socks that stretch out the first time you wash them. I wear them with my boots and love the feel. They do not slide down ever, and they are thick and comfortable. I'm here today on the site to order more and order some for my husband.

As a Nurse, I spend all day on my feet. I purchased 2 pair (not real sure on the difference between the "travel" and the "classic" - I have both), wore them to work and have not wore another brand of sock since. When they went on sale, I came back and bought 9, yes 9, more pair. The price was too good to pass up for such a high quality sock. I looked from specialty uniform stores, to general retailers and the closest compression sock, not near as good quality, run around $12/pair. Make no mistake, these are compression socks. They are designed to fit snugly on your calf to improve your circulation. This is what is so great about them. They do not fall down and they prevent any swelling in my legs. My legs feel as good at the end of the shift as they do at the beginning! Complaints? They are a little bit thick for my "mary jane" style of RN shoes but work great for my tennis shoe style and Crocs RN shoes. Another complaint: they only have white. Would love to see some more colors, and maybe a style just a tad thinner. Guaranteed that if you see me in the hospital, or any day that I am doing a lot of walking, I will be wearing my Crocs Socks!

I purchased 3 pairs. I am normally a 9-9-1/2 M size shoe but since I'm overweight my calves are wide and since there was no smaller size than 10-13, I went for that size because I read other reviews and thought the 10-13 would fit much better. I could hardly fit my foot into the sock. They look good quality and may be durable though for those who would fit onto. I would recommend them though to a friend who might have normal size calves. I tried giving them to some family members with regular calves and though they fit perfectly, they stated they were tight but thick enough for winter. I think the tightness has to do with massage so your feet do not get swollen. I'm probably returning them or giving them away to someone in need.

These socks are the most comfortable socks I've ever had to wear on my long shifts as a restaurant manager! At first I thought they might be too tight (I even brought a "back-up" pair of other socks just in case) but after wearing them a few hours, I realized the tight fit and cushioned toe were what was keeping my feet from aching! The only bad thing I have to say is I wish they were a little shorter in the leg, I wear them cuffed down.
