We washed the compression stockings before wearing them for the first time. We can therefore confirm that the product retains its original shape after washing at 30 degrees. CORE GORIMO describes how to put on the stockings in a small instruction booklet, which seems particularly helpful for first-time customers. In the wear test, the product fit comfortably tight without constricting the entire foot and was easy to put on and take off. The individual size gradations (35-38, 39-42, 43-46) fit well. The breathable mesh in the forefoot area and on the sides ensures optimum temperature regulation. We could clearly feel the compression effect during our test run, during which the compression socks neither slipped nor rubbed. In addition, our legs maintained a comfortable temperature despite the cool weather. Overall, our legs felt less heavy than usual after the run. The compression effect was tested by the manufacturer using SAG measurement technology.

Prices of over €100 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €6 . The compression stockings from CORE GORIMO are therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €14.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
