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

HelloMy 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.

Hi there, and yes it's a small to medium. You would need a large, reason why the small to medium would be way to tight and cut of your circulation. I would recommend a large, to where it still works and feels good at the same time. I love this compression sock, it really works. My pain in my heal has reduced allot, use to have my sock on everyday but not anymore. Hope it works for you

I have no clue what mmhg stands for. What I know is my calf measures 16.25" and these compression socks doesnt compress much, so I still use my wrap bandages to get the compression I want.

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.

Not exactly sure, but if I had to make an educated guess I would say that they are extremely similar to trouser socks, polyester socks with spandex. I have 2 pair of these and 4 pair of Compression Sockss that are made of 82% Polyamide & 18% Elastine. They feel amazing.

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.

All things done to excess are at the very least questionable. If you are having to wear them that long, socks ain't gonna help ya. You might want to consult you physician.

Found the Jobst boxes. Have two types. I am a woman but wore Men's medium 20-30 compression knee high socks in black before my ablations. They are 73% nylon, 27% Elasthan/spandex. They wear well and have comfortable feet for my large feet. Also have woman's large, thigh high, 15 - 20 compression in natural which is not enough compression for me. Fit well and are 66% Nylon, 19% Elastan/Spandex and 15% Silicone. (The silicone sometimes makes red itchy spots on my legs.) Sorry I did not find the boxes when you first asked.

Hi Steve C. Long story short... I wear 10 1/2 EE Mizuno Wave Alchemy and 11 EE Asics GT 2100 series, as well as Gel Nimbus... but when I buy these particular Wigwam socks, I buy the extra large size, because I have foot problems and tight socks just don't work for me. Pinched nerves and bad circulation are not fun. The extra large size fits me perfectly after the first washing... and are only slightly loose before that first laundry trip. Good luck

You might check Brightlifedirect - they have things to help put on compression socks/stockings (which they mainly sell), so maybe something like that would help. Arcoa actually makes something to help with socks, check out their site to see many products. They go under Arcmate now, it seems, particularly for such helpful gadgets.

I ordered the Pintoli/Fytto Style 1020 Women's Comfy Compression Socks, 15-20mmHg, Knee High, Black, Large Size, and I absolutely love them! They are thick but have a nice silky feel. I cannot imagine them snagging or getting a run. They seem very durable.

I copy directly from the box "20-30 mmHg Firm Support, Graduated Compression." I will not hesitate to purchase this brand again.

Patricia, I went back and looked at the "product description". It says 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.
