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.

I am 6'3" and 250#. I don't think they will be too tight. You want compression.

If this is about Compression Socks, I am 6ft tall and I like the LARGE size socks because they fit all the way up my calf to below my knees. I want full length calf support. I have one Medium sock and its a little short. My shoe size is 10 or 10.5 If you have long legs, then a Large should do you fine like me. If you don't have long calf's, then a Medium might be just fine. I wear these socks everyday while standing and they really make all the difference in the world. Hope this helps.

Mid rise, in this case, I think, refers to the length. Below the knee yet a little higher than mid calf. Personally, just right for hiking in a warm climate. On me, they fasten at the waist. Hope this helps. I am 5ft 6in. tall.

My guess is, that this is a one size fits most. My calves are a little over 18" at the largest point and these fit just fine. Just a little more info. I really like the way they feel. May not need them as much since I learned my solius muscle was my problem and now I know how to stretch it separate from my gastrocnemius. They really keep your calves warm, they are really sweaty after a rigorous workout.

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 just measured mine (never done it before haha) and they are 16". These fit pretty tightly on the calf. Not sure if there is a trick. Sorry but I'm not much help

They are indeed tight, and narrow, but not over the calf. They are lower than that.

I don't know how far they stretch, but my calf is 14" and the hose would fit larger than that. They have a full toe and a good length for a knee high, so that would help. I really like mine.

Yes, they roll up to mid calf and button on each side of each leg. I will also say I sent them back due to poor workmanship and very, very poor fit and shape. The pockets puckered even before I put them on and nothing felt or looked right on me. I'm a 5'4" perfect 8. These were the worst pants I've ever ordered on line. I know you didn't ask for this much information, but - here it is.

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.

They are knee length. My 9YO daughter has them over her shin guards and stills is able to fold them over an inch. She's tall for her age.

I am 5'9" 155 and I wish I had ordered a large instead of a Medium. I fell well in the medium range. I get in them and they are definitely compression but a little more room would have been great. My other wish is that I would have bought full length. My calves swell below the hem. Also, with them being so tight they tend to pull down with my work out. If it wasn't for the tie inside I would constantly be pulling them up.

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.

For me, they fall to just above my knee. I'm 5'-5". Unfortunately I'm traveling currently and they're at home, otherwise I'd measure them for you. Hope this helps some, at least.

I suppose it depends on the size of your calves but they are true knee socks on me.

They should work. I'm 5'5 and I pulled them up high this past weekend (as a matter of fact), and it was just across the middle of my knee cap. Normally I wear them just under the knee like any standard knee high sock. Hope this helps.
