What is the compression of these socks? 15- 20 mmhg?

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.

I have Mirage 15's on them. They are a little over 40 lbs and have no visible compression. I hope this helps.

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.

Go to skins.net, choose a pair of compression socks then hit "size guide". It's by calf size. The socks are amazing, I have five pairs (and no relation to the company).

I wear them with 2mm neoprene socks and they are great. No chafing or anything. I actually used them today for more than 3 hours and not a problem in the world.

Hi Steve C.Long story short... I wear 10 1/2 EE Mizuno Wave Alchemy and 11 EE Asics GT 2100 series, as well as Gel Nimbus... but when I buy these particular Wigwam socks, I buy the extra large size, because I have foot problems and tight socks just don't work for me. Pinched nerves and bad circulation are not fun. The extra large size fits me perfectly after the first washing... and are only slightly loose before that first laundry trip. Good luck

I have no idea what the compression number is. You will need to contact the company Miracle Socks. I would consider them to be the lightest number. These are not "true" support hose a doctor would order for a medical need.... my opinion only. I really like the feel of the Miracle Socks and find them to comparable to support hose I have purchased at the Pharmacy. As for shoe width, I again refer you to contact Miracle Socks.

Size medium fits a male shoe size about 7-9, female shoe size about 8-10. Short to medium legs with medium to large calves. Sit on bed or couch with leg extended to put on. Do not sleep in them more than 1 night in a row, daytime use every day. Also, no, 15-20 compression is not as tight as 25-30 compression. I dont think they make 20-50 compression.

This info is from www.docortho .com PRESSURE DESCRIPTION INDICATIONS Less than 15 mm Hg Light Support Preventative support Relief from long periods of standing or sitting Relief from tired, aching legs Mild ankle and foot swelling Mild spider and varicose veins Muscle cramps 15-20 mm Hg Light Support Moderate Support Preventative support Relief from long periods of standing or sitting Relief from chronic tired, aching legs Mild ankle and foot swelling Mild varicosities without edema Muscle cramps 20 - 30 mm Hg Moderate Support Relief of heaviness and fatigued legs Relief from chronic aching legs; ankle and foot swelling Relief from varicosities without significant edema Post Sclerotherapy The lower compression ranges (less than 20 mm Hg) are preventative and can be worn by anyone wanting healthy, great feeling and looking legs. Today incredibly sheer, lightweight and fashionable products are available in the lower compressions. These preventative products can have dramatic benefits to individuals who stand or sit for long periods of time or have any risk factors, making them predisposed to venous disorders. One potentially at-risk group are frequent air travelers, especially those passengers on long flights in coach class seating. Ladies and men socks are now available to accommodate this group. Since the stocking purpose is to increase circulation in your legs, I would think they would help with legs aches and cramps

As a 15 year user of these excellent socks, just follow the sizing guidance form the website. I love em. Never blister either.

These socks come right up to under my kneecap where it is more "bony" than when on the calf. There is just a very slight compression to keep the sock up and from rolling down. Have now bought several pairs as they are most comfortable around and don't bind and compress on the ankle or calf.

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

A compression of 15-20 medium would not be the same as a 20-50 large. Size depends on height from ankle to knee and diameter of calf and diameter of ankle. Compression is the tightness of the fabric and you should get what your doctor ordered.

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".

They are sized correctly. If you are an I'm between size I would go down as you want maximum compression. Hope that helps

Karen, I believe they are basically "one size fits all." The different designations, for example "20-30mmHg" refer to the pressure that the stocking exerts on the leg measured in millimeters of mercury. I'm afraid the whole point of these stockings is that they be "binding." That is to support the veins in your leg. Hope this helps you.Jack
