Are these compression socks?

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.

I don't think they look like medical socks. I have large calves and they aren't to tight for me

No, these are thermal socks. They are used to keep your feet warm in cold climates.

Yes! I'm not a doctor, so you should definitely talk to yours about this if you're worried, but compression socks are actually very good for pregnant women because they can really help the blood circulation problems that are associated with pregnancy, and might help prevent varicose veins as well.

Yes. They are lightweight and cloth but they have enough compression that keeps my hands from swelling. They do take a little getting used to at first but after that they are wonderful!

I would say the ones I have are the thinnest of all that I have tried. They have plenty of room for the toes and heel. I love them. Finally found the compression sock that I like.

I can't say that they are "medical grade" but after my knee replacement, I cited the specs of these to my doctor and PT who said they have enough compression to easily equal or better the typical white compression stockings. They worked a treat for me even while I was still in the throes of severe and constant edema shortly after the knee replacement.

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!

Since Amazon only sent your question and not the review that it is asked about, I'm not sure which product you are asking about. If it is the boots, I believe they were a 9 1/2, if it is the compression socks, they are a little larger, but work quite well. If I have guessed wrong on both accounts, ask again and tell me which product you are referring to. thanks!

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.

Yes they are but not the kind of compression that requires 2 people to put on & off. I bought large just becaue I didn't want to deal with that & these really fit the bill, they give support, they give relief & best of all I can actually put them on myself & they don't cut off circulation @ the knee cap. I love them, they are not PRETTY, but they do the job & I would never take a long trip by car or plane without wearing them & they don't make your skin sweat or itch. Highly recommend

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.

That's a hard question to answer because it is all relative to what other compression hose/socks you've used before.I'd say they are a little harder to put on than the low compression hose out there. Definitely not as hard as the high compression Sigvaris or Jobst stockings. I use them everyday instead of using Jobst/Sigvaris with my normaldress socks on top of that. I use these as my dress socks and "kill two birds with one stone".

My personal opinion would be "no." It is a fairly light weight, compression sock. A little extra support on top than some. But basically...holds sides in. I have used many...before, and after major surgery. I work on my feet for twelve hours a day, in steel toed work boots. I use compression socks to keep my foot support...even just a little. I would doubt it would support something enough...as serious as drop foot. Hope this helps.

I've never used compression socks, but I can tell you that these were VERY helpful for my aching arches.

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'm sorry I don't know anything about the product you're asking about. I bought the surgical open toed compression socks. Those are comfortable and the band does not pinch or roll.
