My husband's on his feet a lot at work and often complains about sore feet when he gets home.  These are his words, "It feels like I don't have on socks at all.  I didn't notice them all day!"  Whereas in the socks he usually wears he finds himself pulling them up during the day, or they slip and slide on his feet.  The compression socks stayed put and when he gets home at night his feet aren't sore. Plus they fit so well over the calf without rolling down.  He's very happy with them.
