Not sure since they have graduated compression. There is more in the foot and ankle.

what does the 30-40mmhg and the 0.35 pound mean. How do you figure it out for the males that need thigh high compression stockings

For me the socks were not over the calf. I found them to run small in size and I gave them away. I went to the local BIG store and bought some diabetic socks.

The pressure on these stocking is pretty strong. Strong enough that a local home health supplies store won't sell them off the shelf - they require the patient to come in the store and be measured so the right size can determined. I suspect that a size too small could cause blood flow problems. I knew that this size was correct for my husband because he was given the exact same compression socks in the hospital (same brand and size). So they are "hospital grade" strong.

Go to skins.net, choose a pair of compression socks then hit "size guide". Sizing is by calf size. The socks are amazing, I have five pairs (and no relation to the company). Also, if you're on the cusp between sizes, go down not up. I learned that via trial and error. Lastly, buy from "Skins" (even thru Amazon) and they will trade, refund, whatever is needed.

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.

Hi, the higher the number, the more the compression. Usually your doctor will tell you what compression you need.Liz

All things done to excess are at the very least questionable. If you are having to wear them that long, socks ain't gonna help ya. You might want to consult you physician.

Edwin, First of all, I apologize for taking so long to answer. These were originally ordered for my husband, and were to small for him. I am female, stand about 6'. These are knee socks and in the large size, tight on my calves - enough so that I have had bruises. The compression is somewhat gradual up the sock but still quite tight at the top. Hope this helps.

These socks are not super thick, i'd say medium thickness. I think they run super big! no compression whatsoever in the socks I ordered for the size i needed. shoe size 8 size M

There is no label inside the sock indicating the material used. They may be a cotton-blend knit, but it is definitely not 100% cotton.

I would guess they are on the low end around 10-15 mmhg. If you are looking for higher compression these will not be what you're looking for. I can tell you myself and girlfriend wear them everyday to work and for being on our feet 10 hour shifts neither one of us have any foot pain when getting home now after wear this product.

These socks are 20-30 mmHg and they only come up to mid calf on me. Sockwell also makes a knee hi with slightly less compression. I like both.

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.

Hi, sorry I dont have the sock on me right now to check the tag. You should ask the seller. I can tell you that they feel like average quality socks. Meaning they are comfortable, but not plush. I hope that helps.

The product doesn't list compression values so your best bet is to check with your doctor. You may need to have them custom made by a medical supply company and your insurance may pay for them. One company I'm familiar with is Jobst.
