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.

Patricia, I went back and looked at the "product description". It says 15-20 mmhg.

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.

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

Squats? I have worn mine during squats and they stayed up just fine. Not sure how much compression you're looking for. These are comfortable enough to wear all day (or sleep in) without being tight enough to cause my calves to ache by evening. I really like mine; they do exactly what I need of them.

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.

It calls for the Large/XLarge, but if you have a very thin calf, I would recommend you look into the Sockwell Men's Elevation Compression sock, they are 20-30mmHg in compression where the Circulator's are 15-20mmHg. Hope this helps.

If I remember correctly they are about 18-22mmHg. That is a good faith guess as I threw away the container they came in already.

Never - even at -15 degrees, they performed as expected. Well insulated boots also make a major difference. Buy these socks!

I purchased these compression stockings a while ago in the small size and my calf diameter is 14 inches. They still do not sag and still holds compression very well. I use them every day. Open toe helps because it will not compress around the toes. Good luck!

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 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.

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 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.

Karen, I believe they are basically "one size fits all." The different designations, for example "20-30mmHg" refer to the pressure that the stocking exerts on the leg measured in millimeters of mercury. I'm afraid the whole point of these stockings is that they be "binding." That is to support the veins in your leg. Hope this helps you.Jack
