What is the compression of these socks? 15- 20 mmhg?

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.

Hi, the higher the number, the more the compression. Usually your doctor will tell you what compression you need.Liz

Yes they are strong. Normally, only 10-15 mmHg or 15-20 mmHg are available over the counter. And these certainly provide 20-30, which used to only be available to trained fitters or medical professionals. So, beware these are tight, and a beast to put on.

Hi Kelly, the compression gradient ranges from 23 mmHg at the bottom (near the ankles) to 14.8 mm Hg at the top.

About medium. Not so much that you get 'sausage legs' above the sock but enough to feel them lifting your feet. Very supportive around the Achilles area. I have fairly fat calves and they don't hurt, my sister is thinner and she loves them. Stops her feet aching when she works 9 hours a day on them.

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.

Not totally sure but they do fit from your underarm to your wrist. And they do a nice job of compressing. Similar to compression socks

I Wear size 15b shoe, and that corresponds to the XL size. The 20/30 is the compression, and that depends on your circulation. You could go to a Medical Supply store and buy one pair and have them determine the size.

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.

As a 15 year user of these excellent socks, just follow the sizing guidance form the website. I love em. Never blister either.

I had not thought of them as compression socks, but in a way they are a light compression because the upper sock retains its hug on your calf nicely, unlike some discount socks that stretch out quickly so you have to tug them up your leg and back in place after a while. The foot portion is not as 'huggy', but it holds its shape and position on your foot nicely. They are very comfortable!

Hi Steve C.Long story short... I wear 10 1/2 EE Mizuno Wave Alchemy and 11 EE Asics GT 2100 series, as well as Gel Nimbus... but when I buy these particular Wigwam socks, I buy the extra large size, because I have foot problems and tight socks just don't work for me. Pinched nerves and bad circulation are not fun. The extra large size fits me perfectly after the first washing... and are only slightly loose before that first laundry trip. Good luck

Your better option would be for soccer socks or larger tube socks. They stretch okay but fit more slim and are thicker than regular socks.

I don't wear my very often right now. Then size is probably ok as the toe area is open. The compression good on top of the foot . Can't feel it below the foot. It doesn't reach the toes. I wear a 8.5 w shoe. My ankles swell if I wear the supports more than a few hours. Hope this helps.

As stated on the description of the socks, they are 0.5. Perfect for wearing with dive boots. They feel thicker, and are very nicely made.
