I recently started working long shifts on my feet, my legs were so sore by the end of the day. I had no idea what compression socks to buy so I tried four different brands that got recommended on the internet. 2XU was the best by far and the only one that I could actually feel compression from. The fabric has that dry feel that is essential to me, very different from the ones that are predominantly nylon . Very happy to have found these, my legs aren't super sore anymore.
