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.

Go to skins.net, choose a pair of compression socks then hit "size guide". Sizing is by calf size. The socks are amazing, I have five pairs (and no relation to the company). Also, if you're on the cusp between sizes, go down not up. I learned that via trial and error. Lastly, buy from "Skins" (even thru Amazon) and they will trade, refund, whatever is needed.

I have purchased both the dress sock and the regular compression sock. The dress sock is more of a traditional knitted type sock. I didn't feel the dress sock felt like as firm of a compression as the regular sock.

They are sized correctly. If you are an I'm between size I would go down as you want maximum compression. Hope that helps

My calf size is 16.5 and the socks fit perfectly. I can insert the shinguards without a problem (this are ~ 3/4 thick shinguards). I hope this answers your concern.

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.

Size medium fits a male shoe size about 7-9, female shoe size about 8-10. Short to medium legs with medium to large calves. Sit on bed or couch with leg extended to put on. Do not sleep in them more than 1 night in a row, daytime use every day. Also, no, 15-20 compression is not as tight as 25-30 compression. I dont think they make 20-50 compression.

I have washed them with my colored clothes, warm water, cold rinse, low dryer. These are not really tight socks, if you really need good compression, these are not it.

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 think if you bought the extra large, you should be just fine. I ended up going from an extra large down to a large because the extra large on my 15 inch calves just felt like a sock not a compression sleeve. I think I read under one of the reviews was a person with 18 inch calves and he bought the extra large and he had no problems

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 ordered the Pintoli/Fytto Style 1020 Women's Comfy Compression Socks, 15-20mmHg, Knee High, Black, Large Size, and I absolutely love them! They are thick but have a nice silky feel. I cannot imagine them snagging or getting a run. They seem very durable.

The material is pretty thick compared to my compression running socks. I don't feel as of it's that breathable. However, it does provide ample compression and I have not pulled a calf muscle since investing in compression sleeves for my calves.

If you are used to wearing compression socks you could size down. If you are not you might want to size up until you get a feel for what level of compression works best for you. I wouldn't size down if you are planning on wearing them for extended periods of time.

I have a size 12 foot and order the xl. The problem with all these compression socks is they should design them to be measured around the ankle and the front area of the foot. I found even the xl "felt too tight but did not cut off circulation. That said you can try them and see how they feel.

I would definitely go with a large especially if you are new to compression socks. A medium will be uncomfortably tight around your calf and may actually constrict rather than compress.
