Are the socks graduated compression?

I copy directly from the box "20-30 mmHg Firm Support, Graduated Compression." I will not hesitate to purchase this brand again.

Yes they are. They work great! I wore them while traveling for 25 hours. I had no edema whatsoever when I finally took them off!

I bought some commpression socks from a medical store at an outragous price, then I bought these. My feet feel so much better with these than the expencive ones. I will always buy these socks. I cant say if they are graduated, but they work the best

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.

No the socks are what I'd describe as a thick nylon but are still comfy. Only thing to worry about is the cape. My capes are starting to unstring but it's a quick fix.

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.

No they're not designed specifically for knee support and they're a mild compression overall. If you're serious about knee support in compression how about trying Jobst Men's Compression socks, thigh highs, or T.E.D. stockings.

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

I don't think they look like medical socks. I have large calves and they aren't to tight for me

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.

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 am not a MD but I don't see why no. Any compression stockings that are comfortable will work. just be sure they are not to tight at the top that they cut off the circulation. just like any other sock.

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 so. One leg at a time like socks. The main thing is getting past the ankle which can be hard.

I think they are. I have worn Eddie Bauer wool socks before I got these socks and I think these are much warmer. I love mine!

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.

They are thinner than regular socks so I would say no. They are not real rough.

I've never used compression socks, but I can tell you that these were VERY helpful for my aching arches.

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.
