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.

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

I wear them with 2mm neoprene socks and they are great. No chafing or anything. I actually used them today for more than 3 hours and not a problem in the world.

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.

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.

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.

I don't wear my very often right now. Then size is probably ok as the toe area is open. The compression good on top of the foot . Can't feel it below the foot. It doesn't reach the toes. I wear a 8.5 w shoe. My ankles swell if I wear the supports more than a few hours. Hope this helps.

Found the Jobst boxes. Have two types. I am a woman but wore Men's medium 20-30 compression knee high socks in black before my ablations. They are 73% nylon, 27% Elasthan/spandex. They wear well and have comfortable feet for my large feet. Also have woman's large, thigh high, 15 - 20 compression in natural which is not enough compression for me. Fit well and are 66% Nylon, 19% Elastan/Spandex and 15% Silicone. (The silicone sometimes makes red itchy spots on my legs.) Sorry I did not find the boxes when you first asked.

HelloMy 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.

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

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

it's not as heavy as my Norwegian military wool socks but they are not lite hikers either I wore mine deer hunting in NE pa. with high quality uninsulated Gor-Tex boots, was warm enough, they fit tight no seams and with adequate cushion. I'm happy.

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

I can only guess, because the compression is not given anywhere online or with the socks. They feel like a 20-30 compression to me... that's the best I can tell you.
