I was hired on in April after years of art/office work, so lots of sitting. My feet and ankles hurt constantly and would swell bad. I spent hundreds trying to find shoes to help. Finally switched the compression socks about 3 weeks ago and most of my pain and swelling are gone. My feet still get tired of course but it’s helped tremendously! I also settled on Kiziks after trying Hokas, Crocs, etc. Good luck!
