I've always been curious about compression socks but don't like to feel constricted in anyway. My husband has been wearing them since he started his new job where he is on his feet constantly during his shift and swears they are amazing. Well, I finally decided to try them. My feet were killing me from various different shoes and being on them so much. OMG - I'm so glad that I did. I don't really feel that constricted with these because my toes are still free to move. They are tight but just tight enough to give support and not be painful or uncomfortable. It did take a little time getting use to wearing them since they aren't full socks and you can feel the edge when you walk but even that transition period was very short lived.
I really do wish I had tried them sooner. I could have saved myself a lot of discomfort if I had!
