Do these socks provide any compression to the top of the foot and ankle?

yes , you feel like you have an insert in your shoe and your ankle stops hurting, as was my case.

Not that much compression at top of the foot and ankle. But very nice for the arch.

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.

I believe so. Any ankle socks I have, running and not running, are always dry by morning.

I had not thought of them as compression socks, but in a way they are a light compression because the upper sock retains its hug on your calf nicely, unlike some discount socks that stretch out quickly so you have to tug them up your leg and back in place after a while. The foot portion is not as 'huggy', but it holds its shape and position on your foot nicely. They are very comfortable!

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

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.

They probably are if you want them to fit snugly. But that doesn't mean they will fall past your foot. And you could always wrap a small towel or clothing around your ankle first.

I am able to put them on over high socks and even long pajama bottoms. It does help to reduce rubbing, but sometimes I will need to twist them one way or another to make them the most comfortable.

No, just a comfortable woven sock. The top expands to look like an open weave and stays up. I like mine, pity that white is the only color. I like my colors lol

My personal opinion would be "no." It is a fairly light weight, compression sock. A little extra support on top than some. But basically...holds sides in. I have used many...before, and after major surgery. I work on my feet for twelve hours a day, in steel toed work boots. I use compression socks to keep my foot support...even just a little. I would doubt it would support something enough...as serious as drop foot. Hope this helps.

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 am not a MD but I don't see why no. Any compression stockings that are comfortable will work. just be sure they are not to tight at the top that they cut off the circulation. just like any other sock.

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.

YES, they do. It is a mid-weight terry lining ,in the foot area, below the ankle. Very comfortable and sturdy.FLAT KNIT diabetic socks are available, in the OPEN WEAVE style, which have NO terry lining. Now this SAME sock is available in the ALOE INFUSED spa style also. Educated buyers tend to make better choices.George

I am sorry, I do not wear high socks. I would test for you, but do not own any. My socks are ankle socks.

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.

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.
