what is the compression strength of the socks? 8-15 or highter

These socks are 20-30 mmHg and they only come up to mid calf on me. Sockwell also makes a knee hi with slightly less compression. I like both.

If you are used to wearing compression socks you could size down. If you are not you might want to size up until you get a feel for what level of compression works best for you. I wouldn't size down if you are planning on wearing them for extended periods of time.

The pressure on these stocking is pretty strong. Strong enough that a local home health supplies store won't sell them off the shelf - they require the patient to come in the store and be measured so the right size can determined. I suspect that a size too small could cause blood flow problems. I knew that this size was correct for my husband because he was given the exact same compression socks in the hospital (same brand and size). So they are "hospital grade" strong.

I purchased these compression stockings a while ago in the small size and my calf diameter is 14 inches. They still do not sag and still holds compression very well. I use them every day. Open toe helps because it will not compress around the toes. Good luck!

It calls for the Large/XLarge, but if you have a very thin calf, I would recommend you look into the Sockwell Men's Elevation Compression sock, they are 20-30mmHg in compression where the Circulator's are 15-20mmHg. Hope this helps.

I wear 13 to 14 WWW shoes and 13 to 15 socks. The Fytto socks I bought were the extra large and they fit very well.

I have Mirage 15's on them. They are a little over 40 lbs and have no visible compression. I hope this helps.

If this is about Compression Socks, I am 6ft tall and I like the LARGE size socks because they fit all the way up my calf to below my knees. I want full length calf support. I have one Medium sock and its a little short. My shoe size is 10 or 10.5 If you have long legs, then a Large should do you fine like me. If you don't have long calf's, then a Medium might be just fine. I wear these socks everyday while standing and they really make all the difference in the world. Hope this helps.

Apparently 15-20. They are for my husband who is currently wearing "Teds". As the cooler temperatures arrive we probably will move on to these. They are really long, but he is only about 5'8" which undoubtedly accounts for that.

I really don't think this will work. I bought this device for my father, who had a hip replacement surgery recently. He uses some heavy duty socks, which are a little less harder than compression socks. Well, the device worked for that, but honestly I really don't know if this will do the same for compression socks.

Hi amazongirl! I have 15" calves and ordered the medium. They are tight but not too tight.

I agree with the other answers; from about 15" at the lowest to 20" at the highest.

I would guess about 120, maybe a few more depending how tight you want to fit them.

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.

Overall i would say 12 and up. I say 12 bc you gotta have good balance at first and older kids can take a fall more than others. Now as of the product i recommend the newer ones. Hes they are more expensive but you wont have the back of your knees hurting like these here. I had to put a towel to soften the straps between my leg and the strap
