These are VERY Firm But Excellent Quality
I am on my feet & legs all day and need extra support.  I have some similar socks that I've taken care of that have lasted many years and need replacement.  These are very tight to get on over your ankles though the foot fit is true to the guide. They offer extreme support (more than I really need) but my feet & legs do not ache when I wear them so they do the job intended.  The only reason for 4 and not 5 stars is that they are hard to get on and more firm than I had expected/needed.  I would recommend these to anyone needing support so they can stand all day without pain but not necessarily great for daily wear. I've ordered a similar pair with slightly less compression (just got them today) and expect them to be closer to what I personally need. These are high quality and look like normal dress socks - that's great and would probably be ideal for anyone whose physician has recommended daily wear of heavy compression socks!
