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.

I'm 5'10 and the go over the calve, most of the firm compression is around the ankles. the compress to the knee is light tomedium. the are heavy and warm for winter, too warm for summer. cushioning is good and make my leg feel great when I'm on my feet for a few hours. they are worth the money. I'm not sure if a larger foot size would make the shaft taller too. I have for size 12 .

I think if you bought the extra large, you should be just fine. I ended up going from an extra large down to a large because the extra large on my 15 inch calves just felt like a sock not a compression sleeve. I think I read under one of the reviews was a person with 18 inch calves and he bought the extra large and he had no problems

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

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.

About medium. Not so much that you get 'sausage legs' above the sock but enough to feel them lifting your feet. Very supportive around the Achilles area. I have fairly fat calves and they don't hurt, my sister is thinner and she loves them. Stops her feet aching when she works 9 hours a day on them.

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".

Sorry, I didn't see this question till tonight. I have and wear these compression socks almost nightly. I've had them for almost 3 months and I still find these to have excellent support.

Size medium fits a male shoe size about 7-9, female shoe size about 8-10. Short to medium legs with medium to large calves. Sit on bed or couch with leg extended to put on. Do not sleep in them more than 1 night in a row, daytime use every day. Also, no, 15-20 compression is not as tight as 25-30 compression. I dont think they make 20-50 compression.

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.

Hi Kelly, the compression gradient ranges from 23 mmHg at the bottom (near the ankles) to 14.8 mm Hg at the top.

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.

I purchased the sock size that fit my shoe size (which was a medium). I have a 15 inch calf and the socks fit quite comfortably. I have problems with fitting socks over my calves. Not so with these.

These socks come right up to under my kneecap where it is more "bony" than when on the calf. There is just a very slight compression to keep the sock up and from rolling down. Have now bought several pairs as they are most comfortable around and don't bind and compress on the ankle or calf.

Hi, sorry I dont have the sock on me right now to check the tag. You should ask the seller. I can tell you that they feel like average quality socks. Meaning they are comfortable, but not plush. I hope that helps.
