Are these "compression socks"?

No. The only benefit is that they keep the toes separated and wick away moisture. That's what I needed and they were great for that.

No, they are not, but my husband and I both like them because they are comfortable, they stay up and they do not pinch or squeeze the leg area because of the elastic. These socks have held up well. They won't last for ever, but we like them so much we have gone back and purchased them several times. We ordered the larger size and it works for both of us. We are so glad that we found them. We did not want anything heavily cushioned. Good luck with your decision.

I have no idea what the compression number is. You will need to contact the company Miracle Socks. I would consider them to be the lightest number. These are not "true" support hose a doctor would order for a medical need.... my opinion only. I really like the feel of the Miracle Socks and find them to comparable to support hose I have purchased at the Pharmacy. As for shoe width, I again refer you to contact Miracle Socks.

Compression socks help move blood from your feet and legs back toward your heart. They also keep swelling down.

They are snug, but i wouldn't call them compression socks. They are thick. I like them for deadlifts and rope climbs.

I found out the hard way. It is only one, so I had to order a second one. That being said, they are a unique type of compression sock that is worth having around. I would buy my "two" again :)

Since I don't suffer from PF, I can't say yes/no w any certainty; however, they do offer compression around the heel and lower ankle, so it *seems* to me like they would help.

Hi Jehlen, These are good for wicking away sweat, also since fingers are in thin cloth, it gives protection from blisters too and super comfy. But they are not compression.

If you have clots, these compressions would be too tight for you. I do not recommend purchasing, rather to find stockings that are only knee high. You can find those at any surgical supply store.

I think I understand what you mean, and they're probably pretty slippery, I used them only for running--they're made of synthetic fibers so they don't cause friction/blisters while running--but, I don't think these are the socks you want

Yes. In my opinion when I wear the compressions, I feel more secure. I feel my legs are supported as I run. I do not feel overly compressed or too tight. I wear them for every run and love the feel. Definitely recommend.

Well sure, soccer players run in them all the time! If you are trying to use them as an inexpensive compression sock, no they wont work. They are snug but they do stretch too much. I wear a compression sleeve under these socks when I play soccer.

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

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

No these are pressure bandages to keep gauze pads or clotting bandages tightly on the wound area.

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

I am not exactly sure how you define compression but I wear them all the time to crossfit and they they stay in place (a couple of inches higher than mid-shin) during the entire hour of a strenuous crossfit workout. I also never feel that they are so tight that they cut off circulation. So I think they are perfect. I hope this answers your question
