what is the compression on these socks? example 20-30mm

I can only guess, because the compression is not given anywhere online or with the socks. They feel like a 20-30 compression to me... that's the best I can tell you.

The description and packaging both state 15-20 mmHg. I personally love the look and feel of the socks and bought several pairs for fellow pharmacists.

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.

Found the Jobst boxes. Have two types. I am a woman but wore Men's medium 20-30 compression knee high socks in black before my ablations. They are 73% nylon, 27% Elasthan/spandex. They wear well and have comfortable feet for my large feet. Also have woman's large, thigh high, 15 - 20 compression in natural which is not enough compression for me. Fit well and are 66% Nylon, 19% Elastan/Spandex and 15% Silicone. (The silicone sometimes makes red itchy spots on my legs.) Sorry I did not find the boxes when you first asked.

Since Amazon only sent your question and not the review that it is asked about, I'm not sure which product you are asking about. If it is the boots, I believe they were a 9 1/2, if it is the compression socks, they are a little larger, but work quite well. If I have guessed wrong on both accounts, ask again and tell me which product you are referring to. thanks!

Not exactly sure, but if I had to make an educated guess I would say that they are extremely similar to trouser socks, polyester socks with spandex. I have 2 pair of these and 4 pair of Compression Sockss that are made of 82% Polyamide & 18% Elastine. They feel amazing.

If you are used to wearing compression socks you could size down. If you are not you might want to size up until you get a feel for what level of compression works best for you. I wouldn't size down if you are planning on wearing them for extended periods of time.

I have washed them with my colored clothes, warm water, cold rinse, low dryer. These are not really tight socks, if you really need good compression, these are not it.

I have a size 12 foot and order the xl. The problem with all these compression socks is they should design them to be measured around the ankle and the front area of the foot. I found even the xl "felt too tight but did not cut off circulation. That said you can try them and see how they feel.

They are snug, but i wouldn't call them compression socks. They are thick. I like them for deadlifts and rope climbs.

As stated on the description of the socks, they are 0.5. Perfect for wearing with dive boots. They feel thicker, and are very nicely made.

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.

Compared to any other compression sock these are much easier but still require a little finese. I LOVE them, they work. I have a ton of compression stockings that I couldn't never get on by myself & if I did they cause me to itch, to sweat, & actually leave indents so I think my circulation is being hindered. The do not leave indents, they do not sweat & make you itch. I bought mine in XL normally I would not bt I wanted firm compression without feeling strangled. They are a little long for me but I don't mind because they are totally comfortable. They are not "pretty" but I would buy another pair in a heartbeat and I have gotten a lot of relief from them.

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.

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.

I think it is compression only after looking at the pkg. ,we got an Israeli kit that has bandages & coagulants

They tend to fit me more up under the knee, and not around the widest part of my calf. I'm 6ft tall, and never had an issue with them feeling too tight wearing them all day (in and out of snow) while working. Don't even remember any red elastic type marks on skin common to tight socks.
