I am trying to find something for calf and knee compression. Would these give enough support?

Hi, they serve me well for gym warm ups - rapid walk & keeps me supported for standing work ours . However for strenuous leg workouts & squats I use knee strap over these pants . Das

Yes but with regular use they do wear out quickly, the a400's seem to be more durable and offer greater support

If you really want calf and knee compression fully then you can buy the calf skins. These tights help to increase my bloodflow and help me to feel more powerful especially when doing legs. I do not have any calf injuries or knee injuries but I use these for Spin and Heavy Leg Days.

These did not fit me, but I'm a woman. I suspect that by "medical grade" you're referring to what doctor's would recommend. Doctors typically measure your legs and feet, then prescribe fitted compression socks. They're very expensive, but they are wonderful for those who have serious circulation problems. If you're just looking for quick fixes (such as wearing them on airplanes) these would work fine. But if you have medical issues, then you may need to get a doctor to measure you and prescribe compression socks.

For me it is. I don't have a need for compression socks. I need support due to very thin foot.

I am a short woman, these are man size. I don't have that small a calf but they slide down when I walk or kneel. I need them as a painter trimming on floor level on my knees, they won't tighten enough to stay up. I don't know if they would be better for a larger person. I find most gear fit for sports or the trades is too big for most women unless specifically designed for them so I am not a good judge.

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.

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 use these primarily just for stretching out my tight calves, and I do think they are a bit squishy. I think it feels nice because it slightly hugs my foot, but with no added weight you will still have an imprint similar to laying on a memory foam mattress. I don't think #200 could flatten these, but you might heavily imprint them. They are mighty resilient though, so it might just bounce back each time.

I'd say that depends on the size of the calf, but should work if calves aren't too large

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

I would also say yes as they are very hard to get on. You may find some compression socks with a softer material that would be much easier for you.

They have adjustable hooks at the top and Velcro straps for the calf I'm not a big guy and still have plenty of slack so yes I think they would work

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.

No they are not. If they did you would not get the knee support it offers. If you want and need a knee brace that works these braces are what you're looking for. If for some reason you have trouble getting tight items on your legs I would look elsewhere!

These will work well for knee cap support, but the Velcro will ware out after a couple weeks of using them (I was doing some pretty vigorous activity) and it got to the point when I put them on but if I bent my knee the Velcro would not be strong enough to hold the straps down, so the braces were useless after that and I ended up buying new ones (I had two btw). So if you get this brace just be gentle with it. Hope I helped!

The compression helps keep swelling down and supports your foot too. I think this would help you very much

I don't see why not. They are a knee high dress sock that offers compression. Many runners are using compression socks these days.

I'm male and a bit over 6 feet tall with 13 3/4 in calves. The medium calf compression sleeves are ideal in length but a tad loose fitting. Since you're a foot shorter than I, I suspect that medium will be too long.
