Hi I wore the socks for the first time yesterday. The only issue is they are too long. I folded the top down which caused Anita if a tourniquet effect, so my legs were swollen. Having said that I will try again tomorrow and fold the top differently as my legs don’t ache even after I removed them. Rhonda
Hi Rhonda,thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review, and we’re so glad your legs weren’t aching after wearing them. One important tip: please avoid folding the tops down. Folding doubles the fabric at the top band, which concentrates the pressure in one spot and can create that tourniquet effect you noticed. Instead, start by making sure your heel is sitting correctly in the heel pocket, then smooth the sock up gradually and stop just below the knee rather than pulling it all the way up. If you notice any bunching, gently pinch the fabric, pull it away from your leg and let it go so it redistributes evenly. If they still feel too long after that, please get in touch with us at info@sistasaidso.com and we’ll help you work out the best fit 💕
I ordered a few pairs in a L/XL checking my calf circumference which was midrange. Unfortunately the socks are too tight and dig in leaving a red mark around the top of my calf. The team were great and offered to refund the unopened pairs. I will try the next size as the quality seemed good. Was just Unfortunate about the sizing.
Hi Aleeshia, thank you so much for the honest feedback, and we’re so glad the team looked after you. A red mark at the top of the calf can sometimes mean the sock is sitting a little too high, so when your next pair arrives, try smoothing it up gradually and stopping just below the knee. If you have any questions about sizing, we’re always happy to help 💕
Greattt
Hi Lourdes, thanks so much for the lovely review! We’re so happy you love your socks 💕
The sock are great use them all 12hs shift and my legs feel so much better.
I have all the colours and styles. Obsessed.
Hi JJ, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you’re as obsessed with our compression socks as us 💗
They are beautiful colors. My shoe size is 7.5 to 8. Ordered S/M size. A little longer. Otherwise perfect packaging and colors and ya timely delivery. Love it.
Hi Barsha, thank you so much for the lovely review! We're so glad you're loving the colours and that everything arrived quickly. A little tip if they're feeling long: our socks have 4 way stretch, so they can be readjusted to fit your foot and leg. Once they're on, make sure the heel pocket is sitting snugly on your heel, then gently smooth the fabric from your toes up over the ankle and along the calf. This takes up any extra room in the foot and spreads it evenly up the leg, so the top band sits just below the knee.
Your socks are brilliant. Where my legs were aching at night after my work day, wearing your amazing colourful socks has reduce this ache to virtually non existent levels. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this lovely review! We're so happy your legs are feeling the difference, and that the colours are brightening up your day too. Happy legs are what it's all about 💕
I’m wearing a pair right now and they feel pretty good. I suffer from Odema and hope the socks help me, altho I’m not sure I want to wear them in our hot summers. I have given a pair to my daughter as she is going on a flight very soon and has my water retention too. Thank you again. Kim
Hi Kim, thanks so much for your kind words! I'm glad you're happy with the delivery and the socks. I hope they help with your oedema, and your daughter enjoys the gift for her flight. Thanks again for your support and your review.
Very happy with these socks.
I bought them to help with leg cramps during pregnancy and have not had a cramp since!
Really confortavle and fit so well, so much better than the pair from the hospital.
The 3 pack was great value not to mention the cute patterns. A gap in the market has definitely been filled for socks that not only work but also look fun.
Hi Amanda, we're so glad to hear the socks are helping with your leg cramps and that you love our style! Thanks for sharing your experience, it means a lot to us. Keep looking after yourself and all the best growing your bubba x
My legs aren’t big so I bought a s/ m size but when I wear them they leave a red mark around leg at top. Is this cutting off circulation? Anything I can do?
Hi Ingrid. Thanks for letting us know! A little marking can happen with compression socks, but they definitely shouldn’t feel painful or like they’re cutting off your circulation. It sounds like the larger size may be a more comfortable fit for you - please email us at info@sistasaidso.com and we’ll be happy to look into this for you 💕
Thankyou my stockings are great .I am 82yrs old and my legs feel good when I have them on 😊 again thanks
Hi Helen, we're so happy to hear you're enjoying the socks and feeling good! Thank you for your lovely review x

Hi Jessica! We're so glad you love our socks and that they add a bit of brightness to your day (that's what we're all about!). Thanks for sharing your review x
Great quality compression socks that are comfortable and supportive. Customer service was excellent as well—they promptly replaced a faulty pair with no issues. Very impressed with both the product and the after-sales service. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're also glad we could quickly sort out the faulty pair for you. While issues like that are rare, we always want to make things right as quickly and easily as possible.
Thanks again for your kind words and for recommending us - it truly means a lot to us x
All the socks have been comfortable, easy to wash and they have great patterns!
Hi Deeps, we're thrilled to hear you love the socks! Thanks for sharing your positive experience with us.
Love them for work
That's so lovely to hear, Candice. Thank you so much for the review x
Got these socks to try out as I have planters fasciitis and have trouble with restless legs . Flew from Launceston to Melbourne and used them for the plane to reduce swelling best compression socks I’ve ever used couldn’t recommend them more
Hi Kodie,
This is everything! Launceston to Melbourne, plantar fasciitis AND restless legs, we are thrilled to hear our Pink Lemonade socks came through on all fronts for you. So glad they made the trip a little easier, and thank you so much for the recommendation!
lovely soft but fitting socks
Thank you for your lovely review! We appreciate your support and hope to see you again soon . Well done on taking care of yourself x
Love mine! Super comfy, cute colours and fits perfectly (size S/M) definitely recommend! I use mine for long work shifts, car drives, plane trips, and running!
Strawberry and cream AND a perfect fit? That's a win on every level! Long shifts, road trips, flights AND running, we love that they're with you for all of it. So glad you love them, and thank you for the recommendation!
These are my favourite for reducing swelling, preventing blood clots and matching outfits. After a blood transfusion I developed a pulmonary embolism, right heart thrombosis and left heart blocked. After blood work it was confirmed I have the thrombosis gene and lupus so I enjoy them 24/7 so I can walk and enjoy a little relief in an everyday battle so thankyou for giving me the choice and voice when so many decisions are made for me.
Hi Kara,
Thank you so much for sharing something so personal with us, it has genuinely moved us. What you've been through is incredibly serious, and the strength it takes to keep going every day is something we have enormous respect for. We're so glad our socks can play a small part in giving you a little relief and, most importantly, a choice that feels like yours. That means more to us than we can say. Sending you so much love. ❤️
Socks look amazing. Sadly they are too small. I will have to take more care next time when ordering.
Hi BT,
Thank you so much for the kind words about the design, we love hearing that! We're sorry to hear the fit wasn't quite right this time. We always prioritise calf measurement to ensure the best fit for compression, so if you ever need a hand finding your perfect size before your next order, just reach out and we'll sort you out. We'd love to get you into a pair that feels as good as they look! 🙌
These compression socks exceeded my expectations. The quality is excellent — soft, breathable, and very comfortable even after a long night shift on my feet. They provide the perfect amount of support without feeling too tight, and I’ve noticed a real difference in reducing fatigue and swelling. The fit is spot on, and they stay in place without slipping. You can tell they’re well made and durable. I’ll definitely be buying more — highly recommended!
Hi Deana,
This review honestly made our whole week, maybe even frame-worthy! As nurses ourselves, we designed these with exactly your kind of shift in mind, so knowing they passed the ultimate test of a long night shift on your feet means everything to us. Soft, supportive, staying put AND actually reducing fatigue and swelling? That's exactly what we set out to create. We can't wait to have you back for your next pair! xx
I love my compression socks. They really help with leg pain and are such fun colours! Highly recommend!
Hi Emj,
Thank you so much, this made us smile! Leg pain relief and a fun colour moment, that's exactly what we're here for. And thank you for spreading the word, you're officially part of the Sistasaidso+ family now!
A new user but very comfortable to wear and what's more they a great to put on, yoy do not have to fight to get them up. Recommend for sure.
Hi Jas, welcome to the Sistasaidso+ family, we're so glad your found us. Thank you for your recommendation - we always love hearing our socks are serving their purpose 😀
I’ve been wearing SistaSaidSo compression socks for a few months now, and they have been amazing. They’re stylish, comfortable and don’t cause lots of sweating. I spend all day on my feet and definitely notice a difference when I wear these socks vs normal ones (or other brands of compression socks) They also haven’t left deep compression marks from the patterns on the socks, unlike some other brands. I’m constantly getting asked where my socks are from haha. Highly recommend!
Hi Caireen, we’re so glad our compression socks have been consistently good for you. We also love that you’re getting asked about them - we’ll take word-of-mouth marketing anyday! Thanks so much for the review x
So comfy, I am ache free after doing 5 shifts in a row
Hi Mahala, we’re SO glad your legs are feeling the difference. Thanks so much for your review x
