Are these compression socks?

Hello My son wears these socks when he plays football. They have slight padding for protection at the heel. They are snug and supportive and offer mild compression, especially at the arch. Hope this helps.

They are full toe socks. They are o.k., but I would prefer the socks where the toes stick out. I use them for Piloxing and not yoga.

I don't fly, but I do not think it would make a difference But people with blood clotting disorders would not be any safer with compression socks. I would ask my physican.

I have no idea what the compression number is. You will need to contact the company Miracle Socks. I would consider them to be the lightest number. These are not "true" support hose a doctor would order for a medical need.... my opinion only. I really like the feel of the Miracle Socks and find them to comparable to support hose I have purchased at the Pharmacy. As for shoe width, I again refer you to contact Miracle Socks.

No. They are for stretching the toe area as shown in the photo to widen and relieve pressure on the baby toe. Sorry.

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

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.

Since I don't suffer from PF, I can't say yes/no w any certainty; however, they do offer compression around the heel and lower ankle, so it *seems* to me like they would help.

I think so. I am registered nurse and I am on my feet while working. I was also pregnant. These sock helped with fatigue and swelling.

No, for that you might want to try light weight Smartwool socks. These are for hot weather, they are very thin.

They do not look like medical socks and are not too tight. They are extremely comfortable and make good everyday or gym socks. I believe they are called diabetic socks, since they don't have any seams that might cut off circulation for someone who has diabetes.

I can't say that they are "medical grade" but after my knee replacement, I cited the specs of these to my doctor and PT who said they have enough compression to easily equal or better the typical white compression stockings. They worked a treat for me even while I was still in the throes of severe and constant edema shortly after the knee replacement.

They stretch out more than regular socks, but I don't know what kind of material it is. I'm not diabetic, but just like loose socks, so they worked great for me. I ordered 5 pairs, but could use some more because I don't like to wear my other ones.

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.

According to the Thirty48 website, these are 15-20mmHg. Check out this link for more complete info: http://www.thirty48.com/cp-compression-socks-series-recovery-sleeve

For me it is. I don't have a need for compression socks. I need support due to very thin foot.

Yes! I'm not a doctor, so you should definitely talk to yours about this if you're worried, but compression socks are actually very good for pregnant women because they can really help the blood circulation problems that are associated with pregnancy, and might help prevent varicose veins as well.
