Can you please help me, I am looking for compression socks but I want them to look and feel like regular cotton socks (not the ones that get little balls material or look prescription like).

Need 20-30mg. Knee high, female and closed toe. I did do a search but the photos are not very helpful on the feel of the socks :(.

Sushi recommended these to me. They have great reviews. I think they are the best ones available. http://www.brightlifedirect.com/STYLE-OR-LENGTH-Knee-Highs-(Socks)-Allegro/c356_144_389/p303/Allegro-Samba-Cotton-Sock-20-25mmHg---Item#-113/product_info.html

But they didn't work for me because I'm short. I tried a few others and found a brand that I like that aren't too tall. I can look it up if someone needs that info by PM.

These continue to work for me. This particular style, Samba, is is 20-25, but they do have higher compression in cotton socks. I'd suggest you phone them and describe what you want. They have always been very helpful to me on the phone. Some of their socks that mention cotton, don't have as much in them as the Samba, so ask for a high percentage of cotton. I think they are having a sale now or in coming weeks. They also allow you to return socks that don't suit you.

P.S. 7, for some reason I can't tag you?
