Are these compression socks?

Hello My son wears these socks when he plays football. They have slight padding for protection at the heel. They are snug and supportive and offer mild compression, especially at the arch. Hope this helps.

Yes. They are lightweight and cloth but they have enough compression that keeps my hands from swelling. They do take a little getting used to at first but after that they are wonderful!

Squats? I have worn mine during squats and they stayed up just fine. Not sure how much compression you're looking for. These are comfortable enough to wear all day (or sleep in) without being tight enough to cause my calves to ache by evening. I really like mine; they do exactly what I need of them.

I don't think they look like medical socks. I have large calves and they aren't to tight for me

Not totally sure but they do fit from your underarm to your wrist. And they do a nice job of compressing. Similar to compression socks

They are for either, but I would just get compression socks because these socks do nothing for pain.

They do not look like medical socks and are not too tight. They are extremely comfortable and make good everyday or gym socks. I believe they are called diabetic socks, since they don't have any seams that might cut off circulation for someone who has diabetes.

My wife says maybe. You have to put the sock on over the plastic thing and she is not sure whether a compression sock may be too tight to do that or too long in length, but it might work. If it doesn't work you can always send it back if you buy it from Amazon - doesn't cost that much. It certainly helped my wife getting her regular socks on for the first month or two after she broke her leg. You can't take socks off with this thing.

All compression sock will help reduce the likelihood of developing DVT when sitting for extended period on long haul flights. Airline cabins are compressed therefore so is everyone inside. Affects vary from person to person. Personally I just used these for the 1st time a week ago when traveling from Canada to the Middle East and noticed a big reduction in swelling of my ankles.

Yes both my podiatrist and cardiologist says they. They work as well as the regular compression socks I had but now I have separate toes. The more I wear them the more I like them.

Not too sure. I tossed the packaging. However, my husband has tried several different brands and he likes these ones best. In my opinion, the socks are mostly thin (really thin) cotton and a little nylon. Hope you like them. I do recommend them. Michelle

I don't fly, but I do not think it would make a difference But people with blood clotting disorders would not be any safer with compression socks. I would ask my physican.

No I would not describe them as such. They are basically a heavy hiking sock. They are great for warmth.

That's a hard question to answer because it is all relative to what other compression hose/socks you've used before.I'd say they are a little harder to put on than the low compression hose out there. Definitely not as hard as the high compression Sigvaris or Jobst stockings. I use them everyday instead of using Jobst/Sigvaris with my normaldress socks on top of that. I use these as my dress socks and "kill two birds with one stone".

No, these are not very thick. They are the most comfortable socks ever but wear out very quickly. I have a 100 UA items and these don't meet their normal wear standards.

Yes they are but not the kind of compression that requires 2 people to put on & off. I bought large just becaue I didn't want to deal with that & these really fit the bill, they give support, they give relief & best of all I can actually put them on myself & they don't cut off circulation @ the knee cap. I love them, they are not PRETTY, but they do the job & I would never take a long trip by car or plane without wearing them & they don't make your skin sweat or itch. Highly recommend

I found out the hard way. It is only one, so I had to order a second one. That being said, they are a unique type of compression sock that is worth having around. I would buy my "two" again :)
