Our take

Graduated compression squeezes most at the ankle and less up the calf, which can help swelling and tired legs. You keep the light padding of Thorlo's pickleball sock. Thorlo doesn't say how strong the squeeze is (no mmHg figure).

  • The catch$33 a pair, warm on summer courts, and no stated compression level.
  • Best forPlayers with swollen ankles or tired calves.
