what is the compression strength of the socks? 8-15 or highter

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.

The ones that say Elevation are 20-30mmHG. The ones called on the spot are 15-20 mg. that is what it said on my packaging when I got them. Both say elevated compression ... I've worn both... Both work well for me I had ankle surgery last September and I teach school so on my feet all day... They are the only brand I've found that keep me on my feet and swelling down

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.

Might depend on whether you plan to wear socks with these or not. I would go up.

The 2XU running socks are compression socks with a compression of 30. I have had blood clots in the past & need the 30 compression. I don't know the compression rate of the recovery sock. Sorry. If you need 30 compression go with the running sock, or check with your doctor. He/she should be able to tell you.

Beverly, a medium Injini sock covers sizes 8-10.5. Go with a large so the sock is not stretched thin. Save stress on the threads.I promise comfort either way.

I am 5'10" and they go up just below the knee cap on me. However, they do hold well and you could probably push them down and position them whatever height you want. It's a decent high sock with a cool design.

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 wear a 9.5-10 shoe and the medium fits perfectly, snug enough to feel the arch support. According to the size chart, 8.5 is on the low end of the medium size range. The sock has good stretch and a little small is better than too big.

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.

I purchased these compression stockings a while ago in the small size and my calf diameter is 14 inches. They still do not sag and still holds compression very well. I use them every day. Open toe helps because it will not compress around the toes. Good luck!

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.

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.

Since Amazon only sent your question and not the review that it is asked about, I'm not sure which product you are asking about. If it is the boots, I believe they were a 9 1/2, if it is the compression socks, they are a little larger, but work quite well. If I have guessed wrong on both accounts, ask again and tell me which product you are referring to. thanks!

I haven't tested it the max but in my opinion I'm about 140 and it starts to feel pretty tight, and even just going on comfort I wouldn't want to be much more than 150-160 without any padding or a sleeping bag etc under me.
