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.

Yes, but definitely better with higher socks. Even with ankle socks it may irritate the back of your foot.

I think they would help. That's one of the reasons I wear these kind of support stockings. I spend a lot of time sitting and wearing these stockings keeps my legs and ankles from swelling which, for me, is the main cause of leg aches.

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.

Not totally sure but they do fit from your underarm to your wrist. And they do a nice job of compressing. Similar to compression socks

No they're not designed specifically for knee support and they're a mild compression overall. If you're serious about knee support in compression how about trying Jobst Men's Compression socks, thigh highs, or T.E.D. stockings.

The way this product is designed you get compression equally at the ankle, heel and arch, which helps greatly if you suffer from plantar faciitis. I am not certain how that compression will feel if you have swelling, but I guess it would give some relief from the swelling if it isn't too tight...

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.

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

No, they just clear your ankle by an inch and a half or so. They don't get anywhere near my calf or soleus muscle.

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

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.

These socks are not super thick, i'd say medium thickness. I think they run super big! no compression whatsoever in the socks I ordered for the size i needed. shoe size 8 size M

The sock in general does not provide support. Doubtful that it would provide heel support. That said, they are very comfortable socks, with slightly more than average cushioning.

They are really like tube socks. I'm a woman with size 8 1/2 shoe size and they fit fine for me as far as feet go. My problem is really that my ankle and legs are very swollen so the top of the sock is too tight for me around and it goes only half way up my calf. So I had to snip the band at the top and roll them down. But that was a leg problem, not a foot issue. I hope this helps, it's all I've got. :)

I have varicose viens that are med to bad on the top of my right foot..a few spider viens in both legs/feet. I have invested a baby fortune in compression socks & #1 I couldn't see they did any good #2 I'm not sure I'm even stron enough to get them on #3 they always irritate my skin, they sweat, they are impractical for daily wear. The TC stockings are compression BUT you can get them on, they don't cut off circulation @ my knees, they don't sweat, they are comfortable to wear all day and they control the pain & occasional clots in the varicose viens--I LOVE THEM, I don't think of them as stylish but with pants & tennis shoes I guess no one knows or cares. Hope this helps
