Are these "compression socks"?

No. The only benefit is that they keep the toes separated and wick away moisture. That's what I needed and they were great for that.

I found out the hard way. It is only one, so I had to order a second one. That being said, they are a unique type of compression sock that is worth having around. I would buy my "two" again :)

Definitely. That said, I (senior female) wear Men's Medium in compression socks; they always reach my knee--these comfortably so. I am also athletic, with well-developed calves. So, yes!

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.

You might check Brightlifedirect - they have things to help put on compression socks/stockings (which they mainly sell), so maybe something like that would help. Arcoa actually makes something to help with socks, check out their site to see many products. They go under Arcmate now, it seems, particularly for such helpful gadgets.

These socks are not super thick, i'd say medium thickness. I think they run super big! no compression whatsoever in the socks I ordered for the size i needed. shoe size 8 size M

Sorry, I didn't see this question till tonight. I have and wear these compression socks almost nightly. I've had them for almost 3 months and I still find these to have excellent support.

I think I understand what you mean, and they're probably pretty slippery, I used them only for running--they're made of synthetic fibers so they don't cause friction/blisters while running--but, I don't think these are the socks you want

My wife says maybe. You have to put the sock on over the plastic thing and she is not sure whether a compression sock may be too tight to do that or too long in length, but it might work. If it doesn't work you can always send it back if you buy it from Amazon - doesn't cost that much. It certainly helped my wife getting her regular socks on for the first month or two after she broke her leg. You can't take socks off with this thing.

They stretch out more than regular socks, but I don't know what kind of material it is. I'm not diabetic, but just like loose socks, so they worked great for me. I ordered 5 pairs, but could use some more because I don't like to wear my other ones.

I have poor circulation and in the hot weather, my ankles swell. The sock seems to help the circulation as my legs are not as tired and they help keep the swelling down. At this price they are certainly worth a try. They surely cannot hurt. Hope this helps.

If you are used to wearing compression socks you could size down. If you are not you might want to size up until you get a feel for what level of compression works best for you. I wouldn't size down if you are planning on wearing them for extended periods of time.

I would say no. I am on my feet all day and I wear support stockings with a short pair of crew socks over them and that solves the problem. By the way, when I bought Miracle socks on amazon, they were not near as tall on the calf as the ones I got from Walmart.I don't know why that is, but they were and I couldn't use them.

No, I don't think this device will work for you. I don't wear compression socks but a friend of mine does, and he needs assistance daily to put them on.I bought this because I have trouble (at 67 years of age) of touching my toes and have had difficulty every day putting on my wool socks - this certainly makes the chore much easier.

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.

For me it is. I don't have a need for compression socks. I need support due to very thin foot.

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.
