Are they knee highs [I stand 6'-7" !] And what is the compression ? Does the compression go all the way up the calves ?

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.

I'm 5'10 and the go over the calve, most of the firm compression is around the ankles. the compress to the knee is light tomedium. the are heavy and warm for winter, too warm for summer. cushioning is good and make my leg feel great when I'm on my feet for a few hours. they are worth the money. I'm not sure if a larger foot size would make the shaft taller too. I have for size 12 .

I own 12 pairs. I stand 5'10" and my calves are more muscular than average. These socks go about 1-2" below my knees. The compression seems just right for me but the top 1" could be better if the pressure was less. These socks fit great, like a second skin! I wear them at work, under my 12" high mining boots. They stay perfectly in place the whole day.

They are knee-high, and the compression goes up the calves. I could stand for the calf compression to be more and the cuff to be less. I don't know the compression value though.

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 am 5' 9" and I wear LARGE FIRM Futuro restoring socks and they go well above the knee. I fold the top down about 1 1/2 inches like Austin mentioned. Maybe I should get Medium size, but my doctor recommended Large for my calves (which I think are average). They're comfortable, I am afraid medium might be too tight.

I'm fairly short, about 5'7'', and the boots go up just below knees. The calf portion is fairly wide, as I didn't have any problems stuffing my pants into the boots. However, the boots fit quite wide if you don't intend to wear shoes with them. I'm an 8D and the boots are quite loose without shoes. I would go down a size if wearing boots without shoes.

Knee length....I'm 5'5 with a 33" inseam and they'd go a little above my knee

Sorry, I don't know. My husband has slender calves and said they were tight enough to leave an imprint. I hope that helps!

In my case they go up to the start of the knee or perhaps just a little beyond, I wish they rode perhaps a fraction of an inch less high. I am a man of about average height, at about 5' 9" ( I am older so I have lost height ) I am heavy set so this might be a factor too. Hope this helps.

Yes you can, but keep in mind that they only come up to mid calf. If you are looking for a pair that comes up to knee, you'll need to get a size larger. Good Luck

They fit just below the knee. The compression is good and they don't tend to slide down.

My calf is almost 13 at the largest point but it doesn't go down that far, knee is 14 and I got a small. It's tight..but it's supposed to be. They loosen up over time but not much.

I'm male and a bit over 6 feet tall with 13 3/4 in calves. The medium calf compression sleeves are ideal in length but a tad loose fitting. Since you're a foot shorter than I, I suspect that medium will be too long.

I'm about 5'4" and I've never liked the over-the-knee styles on me- they seem to cut off at a funny spot. These Sockwells fit just under the kneecap in front and right up to the crease behind the knee.

I'm 5'6 and 145. I got med I believe. They are tight but that's what you want. They also have a drawstring. I'm big legged and have a big hinder so med works just fine for me. Hope that helps!

I am 6'3" and 250#. I don't think they will be too tight. You want compression.

I have worn it above lace up tactical boots that go about two inchs above the ankle with no problem. If the boot tops went much higher than that I don't think they would reach around the calf.

Hi amazongirl! I have 15" calves and ordered the medium. They are tight but not too tight.

Yes they are a generous knee high length. The picture is very deceiving. I am 5'6 and have muscular calves and they are perfect. Love these socks!!
