Otherwise they're comfortable enough. I will try wearing them a few times. If I can stand them and they help with the fluid retention I will keep them.
You did not choose the compression level that suits you. Compression socks that are too tight or too loose are not conducive to play its role, and will make you feel uncomfortable. Generally speaking, 15-25mmg compression is suitable for preventing and reducing mild leg and foot swelling. It is wise to consult the doctor before deciding on the degree of compression.
