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

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.

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.

The description and packaging both state 15-20 mmHg. I personally love the look and feel of the socks and bought several pairs for fellow pharmacists.

As stated on the description of the socks, they are 0.5. Perfect for wearing with dive boots. They feel thicker, and are very nicely made.

For me the socks were not over the calf. I found them to run small in size and I gave them away. I went to the local BIG store and bought some diabetic socks.

There is no label inside the sock indicating the material used. They may be a cotton-blend knit, but it is definitely not 100% cotton.

The ones that say Elevation are 20-30mmHG. The ones called on the spot are 15-20 mg. that is what it said on my packaging when I got them. Both say elevated compression ... I've worn both... Both work well for me I had ankle surgery last September and I teach school so on my feet all day... They are the only brand I've found that keep me on my feet and swelling down

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 would return them and.let both amazon and underarmor know about it. I was not impressed with these socks either. The listing originally said they were seamless at the toe. Untrue.

ly to Louis's question, my husband says these socks are not compression socks. Rather they are extremely comfortable and feather light. Teri V.

The product doesn't list compression values so your best bet is to check with your doctor. You may need to have them custom made by a medical supply company and your insurance may pay for them. One company I'm familiar with is Jobst.

Not that I could find. I have been happy with Dr. Schols (sp?) light compression socks from Walmart. they are cheaper, too.

Hmm? I'm not sure. My calf is 15 my shoe is 12. But i don't know what size sock i bought. If you are using them for running I would go a little big. They are pretty tight. I do love them. good luck

The answer is no. Please read below: 1- To find your size, first measure around the calf (widest part of lower leg) and also around the ankles. Go to the size chart on the product page and based on the mesurements taken youll find your size. 2- The support is determined by severity of swelling/edema. Mild swelling will do with a 15-20, I wear 20-30 Large with a calf 16.5" when swollen. 3- Any compression over 20-30 is best determined by a doctor as it may cause unwanted side effects or dangerous over compression if not needed. 4- If your problem is lymphatic drainage, there re ways to manually massage for relief and these stocking compliment/work like magic. Always best to check with a doctor first.

The 2XU running socks are compression socks with a compression of 30. I have had blood clots in the past & need the 30 compression. I don't know the compression rate of the recovery sock. Sorry. If you need 30 compression go with the running sock, or check with your doctor. He/she should be able to tell you.
