Do they look like medical socks? Do they leave indentations on the legs meaning they are too tight?

Depends on the size of your ankle if they leave marks. Look like regular socks.

They leave some marks on my legs. I don't need them but I don't like how most socks are made today, like Hanes, which are tighter than they used to be and don't last anymore. These socks are very comfortable and durable but they do leave some marks and an indentation around the band. If you don't want indentations, maybe try 100% wool socks.

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.

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!

They are open toe and are pretty comfortable as far as compression stockings go. This is what they used in the hospital for me after surgery but they only sent me home with one pair.

no, they try to not compress the feet or calves. They still stay up pretty well and are very comfortable.

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.

PJ and M Search answered this the same as I would. If they go on like a pair of sock, probably too big. They are very comfortable, so you aren't going to feel pinched or restricted. They are inexpensive, so I would try the next size down.

I think they are just at the level of my crossfit shoes. They don't stick up or look weird, but they are not so low that you look like you don't have socks on at all. these are my favorite socks.

no. MY wife uses them as compression socks for calf and ankle swelling. They work fine.

Yes they are "Crochless". Yes they are tight. The "Crochless" seams cuts into your thighs. I would not recommend this!

I haven't noticed them being uncomfortable, but I have not had them very long and have not had the opportunity to use them for a long stint. They a little tight. Maybe that is what the negative reviews are speaking about.

they are pretty much skin tight. Not uncomfortable tight but snug. They are very comfortable both for running and yoga. The do not ride up at all. I guess the stretchy fabric make them seem skin tight but actually be very comfortable. Hope this helps.

Not that I could find. I have been happy with Dr. Schols (sp?) light compression socks from Walmart. they are cheaper, too.

My ankles tend to swell and when I take my socks off there is usually an indentation, with these the was none. HOPE THAT HELPS.

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 would have to say yes, they might be as much as 1/8" thick. i have the same issue with my riding boots - they are already kind of snug and the socks make them hard to zip up but they are warm!

Hello,I really like the TruForm. When I wear (at least one on left leg every day) it does not feel tight but when I remove, there are lines in my skin in he calf. If you wear the stockings with the correct side in, instead of inside out, I get definite lines. I really like these stockings, I still roll around on the bed putting them on in the morning but I do not put my nails through them. Hope this helps I would not live without them.
