What is the compression level of these socks? (ie: 15-20 mmHg or ??)

Sorry, I don't know. My husband has slender calves and said they were tight enough to leave an imprint. I hope that helps!

I'm guessing a 13. They do stretch a bit. It's just a suggestion. Good luck.

I have no clue what mmhg stands for. What I know is my calf measures 16.25" and these compression socks doesnt compress much, so I still use my wrap bandages to get the compression I want.

1. Go to the Zensah website for sizing info. 2. These don't really provide 30-40 compression. At most they are 20-30. But you could try a smaller size for more compression. However, you risk not being able to get them on.

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.

Hi, the higher the number, the more the compression. Usually your doctor will tell you what compression you need.Liz

The pressure on these stocking is pretty strong. Strong enough that a local home health supplies store won't sell them off the shelf - they require the patient to come in the store and be measured so the right size can determined. I suspect that a size too small could cause blood flow problems. I knew that this size was correct for my husband because he was given the exact same compression socks in the hospital (same brand and size). So they are "hospital grade" strong.

The description and packaging both state 15-20 mmHg. I personally love the look and feel of the socks and bought several pairs for fellow pharmacists.

according to http://www.compressionstockings.com the Zensah Ultra Compression Leg Sleeves are 20-30mmHg

A compression of 15-20 medium would not be the same as a 20-50 large. Size depends on height from ankle to knee and diameter of calf and diameter of ankle. Compression is the tightness of the fabric and you should get what your doctor ordered.

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.

I am size 7.5 and the women's m-l were WAY to big. I felt no compression AT ALL even though I chose the ones in my size range. I think that if you want compression with these socks you'll have to go with m-l, I think men's will be too big and you wont be satisfied with amount of 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.

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.

Hi Steve C.Long story short... I wear 10 1/2 EE Mizuno Wave Alchemy and 11 EE Asics GT 2100 series, as well as Gel Nimbus... but when I buy these particular Wigwam socks, I buy the extra large size, because I have foot problems and tight socks just don't work for me. Pinched nerves and bad circulation are not fun. The extra large size fits me perfectly after the first washing... and are only slightly loose before that first laundry trip. Good luck

ly to Louis's question, my husband says these socks are not compression socks. Rather they are extremely comfortable and feather light. Teri V.

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.
