How much compression do these socks have?

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.

I have varicose viens that are med to bad on the top of my right foot..a few spider viens in both legs/feet. I have invested a baby fortune in compression socks & #1 I couldn't see they did any good #2 I'm not sure I'm even stron enough to get them on #3 they always irritate my skin, they sweat, they are impractical for daily wear. The TC stockings are compression BUT you can get them on, they don't cut off circulation @ my knees, they don't sweat, they are comfortable to wear all day and they control the pain & occasional clots in the varicose viens--I LOVE THEM, I don't think of them as stylish but with pants & tennis shoes I guess no one knows or cares. 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 .

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.

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.

They are not exactly compression. They work very well to protect the crotch rubbing of the skin and the same shorts with skin and avoid burns when training. If they are snug, but not so much as a compression.

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

They tend to fit me more up under the knee, and not around the widest part of my calf. I'm 6ft tall, and never had an issue with them feeling too tight wearing them all day (in and out of snow) while working. Don't even remember any red elastic type marks on skin common to tight socks.

in the toe and heel they are well cushioned but there is compression (not padding) in the arch and ankle collar

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!

I don't know personally...but my wife has cold feet all the time and when she wears these she does not! She has been very happy with these socks.

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.

The socks I purchased are not Zip Socks; however compression level is the amount of tension in the sock in various areas to give your feet and legs support keeping them from swelling. The standardized level of compression used as follows: 15-20, 20-30 , 30-40 and 40-50 mmHg.

No, these are not very thick. They are the most comfortable socks ever but wear out very quickly. I have a 100 UA items and these don't meet their normal wear standards.

Definitely. That said, I (senior female) wear Men's Medium in compression socks; they always reach my knee--these comfortably so. I am also athletic, with well-developed calves. So, yes!
