Thought they were on the pricy side, but, compared to other flight sock I’ve bought these are way better. Good fit and comfy even for a NZ to Spain trip. I’m not sure I would only wear the over socks to a plane bathroom, but they are grippy and don’t add much bulk. I usually chuck on a pair of scuffs while on the plane and they gripped those a treat. Overall I would get another pair if I lost them or these wore out.
Bought these after pulling a soleus muscle 3 months ago. Really gave me confidence in my recovery and that extra support allowed me to train my way back mindfully, without concern of regression. Stitching appears to be holding, even after pulling on and off numerous times over my size 12, wide feet.
I didn’t really know what I was going to get with this deal, it was risky for me, as I like to choose the colours. The colours worked on me and I still have that Skins support I need. Some stitching has started unraveling on one of the tights, even before the first wash which has made me nervous about how long the product will last. It would be good to know if Skins stand by their product quality.
Hi I am very happy with my purchases but I had miscalculated the sizing I would require for the socks. While they were correct for the size of shoe.
My foot issues with deformity and afternoon swelling means they are only able to be worn half a day.
I use skins due to medical lower limb issues. I will buy the largest size to deal with this issue at a future date..
I have recommended Skins to others as the thermal ones are perfect for Southern climate.
Just completed a couple of long haul flights, absolutely love the socks.
Worked fantastic.
Bought my Skins shorts to help with groin tightness. Currently running up to 40 km a week and they have been amazing. Couldnt run without them
Two pairs of skins for $89 is a superb bargain. Both "samples" and very colourful.
Fit just as well as standard Skins do
Overall, they give me great support on an arthritic knee and allow me to do a lot more than when I'm not wearing them. I selected a medium size, and they fit really well unless I wear them too long, and then they are a little bit tight around the top band. I'm considering buying a larger pair for when I want to wear them for longer periods of time. I would absolutely recommend these.
The compression is amazing on the thighs and crotch. Fabric breathable and comfortable, son loves them looking forward to getting a second pair.
Great fit and compression/support around the knees and great colours as well.
I would like to see these with lower waist cuts too.
I have short legs & these are made for a leaner leg size
Can you make some for us short people
I now have 4 pairs and I wear them everyday, the whole day and night. I have problems with my vains and these carve sleeves make all the difference. They feel good and don’t make you feel too hot.
Will buy again.
These are great running and court sports. Only thing is whenever they are on special, I can never get my size.
I always wear these for long flights, they’re super comfy and effective and I especially love the slippers to feel fine wandering around the plane/to the loo. Have certainly made a difference to my travel experience, do their job well!
I measured as a Medium, but the Large fit me far better.
I absolutely do recommend them, just be sure how you like the fit, a tight or compression fit.
Customer service were excellent with advice on size and the exchange.
I ordered exactly as per the guide, measured as exactly mid medium size, but they're just too tight to wear comfortably.
I know they are compression fit, but they are causing discomfort and low pain around the shin, due to the tightness.
They are well made so I'm giving 3 stars.
Kia ora Andy, thanks for your feedback and for taking the time to leave a review. I’ve emailed you directly and we’ll arrange a solution for you.

I am aware that studies have basically proven that calf sleeves do not stop cramping etc. But I have started using these to reduce calf fatigue over long distance running 50km+. I have found them to be fantastic to reduce unwanted energy expenditure. I have also lost a lot of wieght and have a bit of loose skin, so these have greatly helped with that unwanted movement. They are also made from quite a thick material compared to others, so feel very compressive! I love the bright colour!
