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 calf measures 14"; I got the Large size. They fit VERY snuggly. The Medium would have been too small.As I noted in my review, I'm 5' 4"; the sleeves came down to the arch of my foot, which was OK. Actually felt good.

Depends on how big your calves are more than your shoe size I wear size 10 to 11 shoes and my calves are not big and the ones I bought are tight on me so maybe you want L.

I wear a medium and wear a women's size 7. It has more to do with your calf size than foot size.

As the others have said, you need a pair larger than what this product offers. My calves are 16", I ordered the medium/large size and they are just the right size. Any larger calves and they would be to tight. Good luck!

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!

In my opinion you would require a large. My calves are small but I need a medium . A small was uncomfortable .

Actually CB I believe the XL start at 14.5 and go over 16+ which I assume 17 should be covered. I got the L which cover up 14.5 but I like it to fit tight on my calves and it gvs just right up to 15" . Hope that helps.Good luck

I wear size 7.5 and a large fits my foot well but they are a little tight on my calf. The largest part of my calf is 14 inches. Hope that helps.

I received the M/L and wear a size 10 in a shoe. The heel part seemed to big for my feet. If u r a size 8 I would go with the smaller option. As far as the medium calf thing goes my athletic calf's couldn't handle it. Some of there products seem to be targeted for average legs. If it has a design be careful because it will leave marks up and down the leg. You could try the M/L to be safe and just return if they do not work.

I know I'm late in answering this but this may help somebody else. The sizing is only "wrong" if you don't pull out the padding and adjust as per the instructions. You must pull out the padding and make snug around foot, then put foot with padding into the plastic boot. I am a size 7.5 and a small fits perfectly.

I purchased the sock size that fit my shoe size (which was a medium). I have a 15 inch calf and the socks fit quite comfortably. I have problems with fitting socks over my calves. Not so with these.

Dear Erica!As you checked the sizing, you would be on the Small one for your height, but medium with your calves. I would suggest the medium. It won't be longer that much and also, you shouldn't take the small, because it would be so tight, unhealthy.

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.

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!

I'm a size 9.5 or 10 and were perfect. But please BE AWARE that it doesn't have to do that much with shoe size but your calf, ankle and thigh circumference. On the third image of this product, a "Fitting Intructions" chart is shown that will guide you on which size you should pick.

Hi. My shoe size is 7.5 and the small just fits. My guess is a medium would best accommodate you.
