Are these compression socks?

Hello My son wears these socks when he plays football. They have slight padding for protection at the heel. They are snug and supportive and offer mild compression, especially at the arch. Hope this helps.

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. The are very comfortable socks. We wear them for everyday socks as well as sport socks.

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.

They are not exactly compression. They work very well to protect the crotch rubbing of the skin and the same shorts with skin and avoid burns when training. If they are snug, but not so much as a compression.

My wife says maybe. You have to put the sock on over the plastic thing and she is not sure whether a compression sock may be too tight to do that or too long in length, but it might work. If it doesn't work you can always send it back if you buy it from Amazon - doesn't cost that much. It certainly helped my wife getting her regular socks on for the first month or two after she broke her leg. You can't take socks off with this thing.

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.

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 :)

No, for that you might want to try light weight Smartwool socks. These are for hot weather, they are very thin.

I can't say that they are "medical grade" but after my knee replacement, I cited the specs of these to my doctor and PT who said they have enough compression to easily equal or better the typical white compression stockings. They worked a treat for me even while I was still in the throes of severe and constant edema shortly after the knee replacement.

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.

They do not look like medical socks and are not too tight. They are extremely comfortable and make good everyday or gym socks. I believe they are called diabetic socks, since they don't have any seams that might cut off circulation for someone who has diabetes.

I would say no. I am on my feet all day and I wear support stockings with a short pair of crew socks over them and that solves the problem. By the way, when I bought Miracle socks on amazon, they were not near as tall on the calf as the ones I got from Walmart.I don't know why that is, but they were and I couldn't use them.

They aren't like soccer shin guards. These are compression sleeves which are more like strong socks. They aren't going to offer any sort of protection. You'll need to look for something more specialty for whatever you are doing or possibly a product like shin guards for soccer as an alternative. These are strictly well made compression socks to help with blood flow and not for protection. The assist in blood flow helps with recovery which has helped my calf cramps. Some sleeves are lycra and don't really compress. These are a strong and breathable woven material that gives you graduated compression from the ankle up over the calf.

These socks are basically regular, stretchy socks with the cuff ending up slightly above the ankle. They are NOT as plush as women's spa socks. Hope this helps.

Not sure exactly what the question is, but ive been using these for a year during CrossFit WODs, and they have kept the same great level of compression since day 1. Awesome socks.

I can only guess, because the compression is not given anywhere online or with the socks. They feel like a 20-30 compression to me... that's the best I can tell you.
