@hayseed00 "Measured for them....." I wasn't aware of this. I just thought you purchase them according to your regular sock size. Interesting. Heart

For those who wear these socks, can you "feel" them when wearing them to know if they are working or not?

@DottieBlue  Compression socks are made with varying amounts of compression. I have never worn a mild compression so I don’t know how they’d feel, but I’m guessing it would be like wearing tights or support hose. The knee socks  I wear have firm (20-30 mmHg), graduated compression and I definitely “feel” them.

@World Traveler 

Regular sock are measured according to foot or shoe size.  Compression socks are measured according to calf size (regular or wide) and the amount of compression needed.
