valkryorIn my quest to find the best compression socks, I took a chance and bought Jobst, the other brand of medical compression sock (most of mine are Sigvaris). They were pink! and would fit me! I was so in.
Well, gentle readers, I managed to wear them for about three hours before I had to take them off.
Why?
The toe seam. Instead of being across the top of the foot where I expect it to be, they have this hard ridge along the toe line, which is hella irritating for someone who has a very low tolerance for whatever makes my toes uncomfortable.
They fit great everywhere else, but that rigid line that tucks under my toes or sits in an awkward location is a lot for me to deal with. I put on a different pair of commercial socks not too long ago and I can still feel that ridge. And that's really annoying; the socks are expensive, they should, at least, not cause new problems.
The majority of people aren't going to notice, and that's fine. Me? I am less than impressed by the construction that results in a seam there.

Okay, the irritation dropped from a 10 to a 3, but it was still something I was constantly aware of. I think the problem with the construction is one I can't get away from, not fully.
