My shoe size is 7.5, but my calf is 17.25" ... what size do I select?

I would definitely go with a large especially if you are new to compression socks. A medium will be uncomfortably tight around your calf and may actually constrict rather than compress.

I don't know. I have never measured my calf. I think mine is a regular calf size. I am a swimmer. I went with my shoe size. I use them for flying. I am a flight attendant and I needed a lot of compression. They really do the work. I am satisfied with my purchase.

The salesman in the store went by my calf size and I got a perfect fit. I believe there is a size chart on the box that goes by calf size.

My calves are 7 1/2 inches in circumference and the XL fits me perfectly. The elastic is very stretchy so there's a wide range it can fit. I would go by measuring around the widest part of the calf and try to calculate from there!

Here are the measurements: Size Calf Circumference Small 9.5-12.5 in Medium 12.5-15.5 in Large 15.5-18 in X-Large 18-20 in Hope this helps!

I would look at the sizing chart. I believe it shows sizes in adult sizes though so keep that in mind when ordering. I'm in my late 20's and a medium for me fell below my calf. Something to consider. Best of luck, Kay Dubs!

That's the problem I had! The size is based on measuring around the knee. The website lists one sizing chart, but the packaging lists another. I measured 14 inches, bought a medium, and it was too small. Here's the website: https://www.kneesupport.com/mcdavid/. I think the issue was that i have muscular calves, so my proportions may be different than their "standard". My suggestion: buy a size larger than you think you need. Good Luck!

I have 21" calfs and use the Extra large with no problems at all. I can wear them all day with no issues.

I am plus size. My calf is 16 1/2". I wear a women's Medium. Socks are tight but not too tight. Had my doctor check them. They definitely keep the swelling away. If you live in a hot summer climate you might prefer the open toe stockings. I love these stockings. They work better than the brands hospitals use.

Please provide your measurements. Need to know your ankle and calf circumference and the length of your lower leg (floor to back of knee) to determine your size

My foot is Medium but these are plenty wide for me even w/ socks, and the calf part is wide. I got a half size larger than I usually wear and put an insert in the boots.

I wear men's size large. You can measure the length from the bottom of your foot to your knee and measure around your calf for sizing. I choose men's for a better fit for me, even though the foot is a little large for me.

My thigh is 20" and my calf is 16". I can get the large on my leg but it is tight. You should probably get the XL size to be comfortable. If it is too big I'll trade you my large.

You're safe to follow the CEP sizing chart. If your husband's calf size is exactly between two sizes(15.25"... size III or size IV ???), personally I would go with the smaller size. Otherwise follow the chart and you'll be pleased.

I wear a 7.5 and got the medium. It is quite snug and I wouldn't want it any tighter so you may want to consider a large.

There is a YouTube video that rev gear made about how to measure and properly size yourself. If you go to their site it's on there as well. You'll probably need to go with the xL based on height, but calf length and muscle mass are going to make a difference.

I saw a size guide on REI.com that put 7.5 near the upper end of small, so I'd go with that size.

My calf size is 14 inches and it fits conformably. I would imagine the larger the calf the tier it will get. I sometime prefer tier when walking so i put on two pairs one over the other.

If you're concerned about the shoe size follow the chart. If you're concerned about getting the sock up to your knee then see my next statement.I'm male and my calves are 18"-18.5" just below the knee. The size Large are snug but they fit well and are comfortable.
