What level of compression does this offer? Medical grade is 20-30 mm/Hg is this possible with shirts and tights?

Its not medical grade. The fit starts fairly snug but loosens up after a few washes and wears

No I don't believe it compresses that well but it's a good fit if you get your size correctly

I don't recommend it. it is not elastic enough to provide good compression therapy. I returned this item. Mueller ankle brace (which I bought at Wal-Mart) is a lot better, less bulky, a lot more comfortable.

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.

The material is pretty thick compared to my compression running socks. I don't feel as of it's that breathable. However, it does provide ample compression and I have not pulled a calf muscle since investing in compression sleeves for my calves.

I have found that the degree of compression is fairly strong but it does not cut off circulation to the foot or become bothersome.

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.

Yes they are strong. Normally, only 10-15 mmHg or 15-20 mmHg are available over the counter. And these certainly provide 20-30, which used to only be available to trained fitters or medical professionals. So, beware these are tight, and a beast to put on.

These have great compressive abilities, but I did not feel any significant thermal impact when I wore it. It does keep warm, but it was not noticeable enough for me to consider it that type of tight. Have you considered the SKINS S400/200 Women's Thermal Compression Long Tights ?

I'm not in bed with the metric system every night. But this items is thicker than any clothing item that I have purchased. You have to order a size smaller than you would think you need. It's suppose to fit really tight; like a compression suit, that make you sweat. Unfortunately I wasn't able to experience that luxury, due to some Einstein sending me the wrong size twice, I finally said forget about it.

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

Don, we were not able to use this device with compression stockings, even the 15. We returned the item. Instead, I cut about a one inch slit on each side (right and left of the knee) of the sock, gather it up stretching as I go down the sock and pull as hard as I can as I put the sock on my husband, and then gradually pull up, smoothing out any wrinkles. We have tried for over 3 years to find a sock aid that would allow him to put on his own socks and so far, we have been unsuccessful. I wish I had better news, but that is the truth. Lyn C

I have no idea what the compression number is. You will need to contact the company Miracle Socks. I would consider them to be the lightest number. These are not "true" support hose a doctor would order for a medical need.... my opinion only. I really like the feel of the Miracle Socks and find them to comparable to support hose I have purchased at the Pharmacy. As for shoe width, I again refer you to contact Miracle Socks.

I'm not sure; they are smaller than you would think, though, so if you really don't like the thought of a super-tight compression sleeve, I might go up a size from what you think your size is.

All this will do is get the toe to heel started(does that very well). I would think you could just continue it on up to help but the compression are sooo tight sometimes. Might dig in..The compression stocks will still be a struggle

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

Hello,When I bought this I weighted around 240lbs (I'm about 5'11). At that time it fit as a regular would. Close to the skin but no where near a compression feel. As I lost weight (35lbs) it now fits loosely. If you pick the size you normally wear (a large for me before I lost weight) it should fit as a regular would. Hope this helps.

I think it is compression only after looking at the pkg. ,we got an Israeli kit that has bandages & coagulants
