What is the compression of these socks?

Not sure exactly what the question is, but ive been using these for a year during CrossFit WODs, and they have kept the same great level of compression since day 1. Awesome socks.

I am not exactly sure how you define compression but I wear them all the time to crossfit and they they stay in place (a couple of inches higher than mid-shin) during the entire hour of a strenuous crossfit workout. I also never feel that they are so tight that they cut off circulation. So I think they are perfect. I hope this answers your question

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

If they are light compression it may help, but I will be honest with you. This product in my opinion was not meant for anything but socks and it does work great for that purpose. I do not wear the compression stockings so mine is only a guess. I am truly sorry that I am unable to be of more help to you. May God bless you and yours always.

I would definitely go with a large especially if you are new to compression socks. A medium will be uncomfortably tight around your calf and may actually constrict rather than compress.

I am size 7.5 and the women's m-l were WAY to big. I felt no compression AT ALL even though I chose the ones in my size range. I think that if you want compression with these socks you'll have to go with m-l, I think men's will be too big and you wont be satisfied with amount of compression.

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!

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.

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.

There is about 1/4 - 1/2" of compression. I'd suggest you get the 11-18. If you adjust it to 11 1/4" it should be about right.

The sock provides good compression support. The strap provides added support without hindering mobility. It's very comfortable to wear.

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.

Not knowing what strength you have in your hands, or how much elasticity there is in compression socks, I don't know if you will have the hand strength to put compression socks onto the device. The socks I have are very roomy and easy to stretch. The device is pretty easy to use and I do love it. When my feet are damp it's less easy to use. After loading the sock onto the blue plastic piece, you put your foot into the hollowed part and pull with the strap. I hope this helps.

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

They are open toe and are pretty comfortable as far as compression stockings go. This is what they used in the hospital for me after surgery but they only sent me home with one pair.

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.

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.

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.

It compresses the entire foot completely overall, which is the reason I was impressed with the sock
