What People Say about us
"As a structural engineer, I spend hours on my feet every day. Over time, I developed leg and foot pain that made it hard to do my job. My doctor prescribed compression socks, and I found Steveston Medicine Shoppe. They were so knowledgeable and friendly - they helped me find the right fit and recommended the sports compression socks since I move around a lot during work and even when I go for a run. I love the style and the colors they offer, and they're so comfortable to wear. Since I started wearing compression socks, my leg and foot pain has improved so much. I'm so grateful for their help - they've made my job and my runs so much more comfortable!"
- David, Structural Engineer.
