Are these medical grade compression toe socks?

I don't know. Probably not; they are made for racing and recovery. The official Website does not say anything about medical grade. As to whether they help during distance races and/or after for recovery, my experience allows me to answer with a definite, "yes."

I'm on my feet 8 hours a day in a pharmacy and they keep my legs from getting tired and my ankles from swelling just like the ones my cardiologist prescribed. I showed them to her and she ok'd them. I'm a larger woman and they fit me very well. (felt I needed to add that after reading the other answers)

I can't say that they are "medical grade" but after my knee replacement, I cited the specs of these to my doctor and PT who said they have enough compression to easily equal or better the typical white compression stockings. They worked a treat for me even while I was still in the throes of severe and constant edema shortly after the knee replacement.

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.

These did not fit me, but I'm a woman. I suspect that by "medical grade" you're referring to what doctor's would recommend. Doctors typically measure your legs and feet, then prescribe fitted compression socks. They're very expensive, but they are wonderful for those who have serious circulation problems. If you're just looking for quick fixes (such as wearing them on airplanes) these would work fine. But if you have medical issues, then you may need to get a doctor to measure you and prescribe compression socks.

The socks I purchased are not Zip Socks; however compression level is the amount of tension in the sock in various areas to give your feet and legs support keeping them from swelling. The standardized level of compression used as follows: 15-20, 20-30 , 30-40 and 40-50 mmHg.

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

Very little elastic, just enough to keep socks up. My husband swears by these socks, he has had really bad problems with his legs and ankles but since I got him these socks his problems are gone. He loves them. And they wash up wonderful. Very, very good medical socks, you will not be disappointed.

I had not thought of them as compression socks, but in a way they are a light compression because the upper sock retains its hug on your calf nicely, unlike some discount socks that stretch out quickly so you have to tug them up your leg and back in place after a while. The foot portion is not as 'huggy', but it holds its shape and position on your foot nicely. They are very comfortable!

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.

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

I'm sorry I don't know anything about the product you're asking about. I bought the surgical open toed compression socks. Those are comfortable and the band does not pinch or roll.

The socks pictured here are not the ones I own.My socks have grips on the bottom of the socks, that does include the heal and toes. Not on the side of the foot or toes.I hope that helps you.

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.

Not that I could find. I have been happy with Dr. Schols (sp?) light compression socks from Walmart. they are cheaper, too.

These sockes are like dress socks and I read that u can use them at rest and while walking and daily activities...like my husband does. I don't see why you couldn't . I think it would help the swelling and from your legs becoming for fatigued and get better results from the compression. My hubbie sometimes wears regular socks over the compression socks to help reduce any friction. It's up to your comfort level

These socks can be worn with anything however, they are NOT diabetic socks like they are advertised. All the pairs of socks I bought are all falling apart because I had to use some scissors and make slices on the top of the socks because they were too tight on my upper ankles and they were hurting and cutting off my blood circulation. If you are going to buy these socks, buy them for regular socks but NOT for diabetic socks or you will be disappointed such as I was.

I don't think they look like medical socks. They don't leave an indention in my legs.

Not really. My husband wears these over his compression socks and actually wears two pairs so that they stay up. They are a good buy for the $$. They are not too tight at the top which has always been a problem for him.

No. They are for stretching the toe area as shown in the photo to widen and relieve pressure on the baby toe. Sorry.
