Do these socks provide any compression to the top of the foot and ankle?

yes , you feel like you have an insert in your shoe and your ankle stops hurting, as was my case.

Not that much compression at top of the foot and ankle. But very nice for the arch.

You might check Brightlifedirect - they have things to help put on compression socks/stockings (which they mainly sell), so maybe something like that would help. Arcoa actually makes something to help with socks, check out their site to see many products. They go under Arcmate now, it seems, particularly for such helpful gadgets.

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.

Yes they do. I purchased these because read people complained about the fin rubbing against their feet. These socks will definitely protect your skin against the hard plastic.

Not sure since they have graduated compression. There is more in the foot and ankle.

These socks are not super thick, i'd say medium thickness. I think they run super big! no compression whatsoever in the socks I ordered for the size i needed. shoe size 8 size M

I have found that the degree of compression is fairly strong but it does not cut off circulation to the foot or become bothersome.

If they are light compression it may help, but I will be honest with you. This product in my opinion was not meant for anything but socks and it does work great for that purpose. I do not wear the compression stockings so mine is only a guess. I am truly sorry that I am unable to be of more help to you. May God bless you and yours always.

I had not thought of them as compression socks, but in a way they are a light compression because the upper sock retains its hug on your calf nicely, unlike some discount socks that stretch out quickly so you have to tug them up your leg and back in place after a while. The foot portion is not as 'huggy', but it holds its shape and position on your foot nicely. They are very comfortable!

They are really like tube socks. I'm a woman with size 8 1/2 shoe size and they fit fine for me as far as feet go. My problem is really that my ankle and legs are very swollen so the top of the sock is too tight for me around and it goes only half way up my calf. So I had to snip the band at the top and roll them down. But that was a leg problem, not a foot issue. I hope this helps, it's all I've got. :)

I would say no. I am on my feet all day and I wear support stockings with a short pair of crew socks over them and that solves the problem. By the way, when I bought Miracle socks on amazon, they were not near as tall on the calf as the ones I got from Walmart.I don't know why that is, but they were and I couldn't use them.

No, there is a seam across just back of the toes on top only. I did not know it was there until I looked because I had never felt any discomfort from the seam. I am very satisfied with the socks.

Not sure about that situation, I got them because I have calf pain at times and these offer my legs a mild compression support and warmth which helps with the pain and soreness.

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!

The full sock is designed to give compression over the entire foot/leg. Removing the foot would mean no compression on foot or ankle area. There are socks with toes exposed, half foot and probably ankle to knee. Why pay for more sock than you need or have to cut 1 up.?

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.

Yes they are thin, make sure you order a size that provides right amount of compression
