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.

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.

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

Sorry for the late response. They aren't very big. I was actually surprised at how short they are. I have them in a flower pot. If you are expecting anything higher than your knee, this isn't the purchase you want.

I'm tall, so I ordered Long which I believe was 17". They are sold in short, medium and long so it is best to measure your leg from ankle to just under your knee and measure the circumference of your calf in the thickest place. That way, the stockings will fit you like they were made for you.

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!!

They are not over the calf. they are more just above the ankle. My husband likes them and they don't cause indentations... see other comment also

If you have clots, these compressions would be too tight for you. I do not recommend purchasing, rather to find stockings that are only knee high. You can find those at any surgical supply store.

The side compressors come up about 12". There is a roller "knob" in the rear at about the 9" mark. While it feels good to get the lower half of your lower leg squeezed, it's really not tall enough to effectively massage the calf of even a small adult. I suppose your mileage will vary depending on your calf shape.

I couldn't tell you exactly, but My daughter is a former gymnast, so she has short legs with quite stocky, muscular calves, and these fit her very comfortably, with enough room to breath, but no so much that they are loose and mud falls down inside. She normally has a good deal of trouble finding boots that fit her calves. Hope that helps some =/

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.

are a little above the knee. They are very good and comfortable. I recommend it

I am 5'1 and ordered the small. They are right below my knee (like touching the bottom of my knee).

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.

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.

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 usually wear mine where the knee is in the middle or pull them up just a touch higher so there is a little more compression depending on activity for that day.
