Are the socks graduated compression?

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

Yes they are. They work great! I wore them while traveling for 25 hours. I had no edema whatsoever when I finally took them off!

I bought some commpression socks from a medical store at an outragous price, then I bought these. My feet feel so much better with these than the expencive ones. I will always buy these socks. I cant say if they are graduated, but they work the best

Not knowing what strength you have in your hands, or how much elasticity there is in compression socks, I don't know if you will have the hand strength to put compression socks onto the device. The socks I have are very roomy and easy to stretch. The device is pretty easy to use and I do love it. When my feet are damp it's less easy to use. After loading the sock onto the blue plastic piece, you put your foot into the hollowed part and pull with the strap. I hope this helps.

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.

No the socks are what I'd describe as a thick nylon but are still comfy. Only thing to worry about is the cape. My capes are starting to unstring but it's a quick fix.

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.

I used them without any socks and didn't have issues. they are a little stiff.

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.

I've never used compression socks, but I can tell you that these were VERY helpful for my aching arches.

Not that I could find. I have been happy with Dr. Schols (sp?) light compression socks from Walmart. they are cheaper, too.

no. MY wife uses them as compression socks for calf and ankle swelling. They work fine.

No. there is a seam on the toe section. However, the socks are thick enough that I had not even noticed until I saw your question.

No, just roll them open to get the toes in easily, and unroll them up to put on. I've used these for foot pain for a while, and they are great. I just had serious foot surgery and have to keep compression on to prevent swelling - these are perfect!

Yes, there are compression tubes. This is a very, comfortable and functional product!

It appears to be. They do stretch. But they do feel tight when first put on. I do not have a big hand and they felt tight for me.

Yes both my podiatrist and cardiologist says they. They work as well as the regular compression socks I had but now I have separate toes. The more I wear them the more I like them.

Absolutely! They aren't as thick as basketball socks though. Imagine a white crew sock w/ color and patterns on 'em. That's basically what these are, Lol

They stretch out more than regular socks, but I don't know what kind of material it is. I'm not diabetic, but just like loose socks, so they worked great for me. I ordered 5 pairs, but could use some more because I don't like to wear my other ones.
