The test

General information

To give you a quick overview, we work with a points system. The maximum achievable score per area is 100 points. The final overall score is calculated from the average of all tested features, taking into account the respective weighting.

The first impression

Packaging and contents

Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The CLASSIC compression socks from SILVERLINE™ are carefully packaged and the sturdy cardboard box offers sufficient protection during transport. The compression socks were packed in a plastic bag for protection. Although unnecessary packaging waste was avoided, the use of plastic film could be a point of criticism for some consumers.
Inside the packaging are the two stockings and instructions for use in German and two other languages. These are clearly worded to ensure problem-free use.

After unpacking, we take a closer look at the product itself.
It is noticeable that we cannot find any flaws in the workmanship, either visually or haptically. All the seams look neatly finished and there are no other defects to be found. The visual appearance is therefore flawless and can be rated as very good.
The stockings themselves are soft, comfortable and elasticated, but at the same time robust. The stockings retain their shape even after heavy pulling, which means that the product is also convincing in terms of stability.
However, the product is particularly impressive in terms of sustainability. The manufacturer advertises with an OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certification as well as an environmentally friendly and ethical production standard and the use of a high proportion of cotton, which underpins the previous positive impression of the product.

The CLASSIC compression socks from SILVERLINE™ deliver what the manufacturer promises.
In the test, the socks impressed with a perfect fit without creasing and an optimum fit both when sitting and standing. Thanks to the different size gradations (35-37, 38-40, 41-43, 44-46), they offer a customised fit for every foot type.
They are extremely comfortable to wear : no skin irritation occurs and the excellent breathability effectively prevents sweating.
Another plus point is the absolute odour neutrality. Thanks to silver ion technology, the socks remained completely odourless both after wearing and after storage.
The seam quality is also impressive: No visible defects or discomfort occurred throughout the test and the seams remained in perfect condition even after repeated wear and washing. The socks are machine washable at 30 degrees and retain their shape, size, colour and material properties even after several washes, which underlines their durability .

Overall, the CLASSIC compression stockings from SILVERLINE™ offer an excellent combination of comfort, functionality and quality, making them the ideal choice for everyday use.

At the time of testing, the product had not been listed on Amazon for long enough. Therefore, the existing reviews do not sufficiently reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the product, so this point is neglected in the evaluation.


Prices of up to €50.00 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available for as little as €12.99 . The CLASSIC compression socks from SILVERLINE™ are therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of €28.90. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is reasonable.
