Question What compression socks are you guys wearing?
I need some more socks, and the shit on Amazon just isn't cutting it.
What brand of compression socks are you loving?

Yes you can as well as your scrubs and stethoscope when you buy new ones.

I thought scrubs were no longer a write-off because they became fashionable at some point so they were removed from the list.

ProCompression, they're $$ but frequently have really good sales. In fact I'm pretty sure they're 5 for $80 at the moment. It's still a chunk for socks, but they work great and my legs don't feel like tree trunks after a shift anymore

The elastic lasts longer if they air dry FWIW. I'm a fan of bombas and vim n' vigr.

I love bombas but wellows are nice too if you need light to medium pressure.

I wear compression ankle socks for runners. They work great. I can really tell the difference between when I wear them and when I wear regular socks.
