Do you recommend sizing up or down when you are between sizes when measuring your calf?

If you are used to wearing compression socks you could size down. If you are not you might want to size up until you get a feel for what level of compression works best for you. I wouldn't size down if you are planning on wearing them for extended periods of time.

I was able to find a sizing chart. You will have to measure your lower thigh as directions

Hello- The best way is to measure your leg. Here are the measurements for the 2 different sizes. Regular Size: Ankle:15" / Mid Calf: 18"/ Knee:20" / Mid Thigh: 24" Large Size: Ankle:19" / Mid Calf: 23"/ Knee:25" / Mid Thigh: 29" These sizes are for full leg sleeves. Half Leg are a little smaller. Please feel free to contact us if you need further assistance or have any other questions. Thank you,Cristina

Go to skins.net, choose a pair of compression socks then hit "size guide". It's by calf size. The socks are amazing, I have five pairs (and no relation to the company).

I bought medium and my calves are not very big and they are pretty snug. Left impression on my legs from tightness. You may want to go with Large. I wear size 10 shoe as well.

In my case, my doctor measured me and told me I needed large based on my calf measurement. However I don't think the answer is a simple one. Much like shoes, size or 'large' size probably varies depending on brand or specific sock. I don't know if there is a difference based on gender. Simple answer is try these url's for a quick answer. http://www.jobst-usa.com/wear-care/measuring.html http://www.zensah.com/size-chart/ female specific:http://www.brightlifedirect.com/gender-womens-brands-plus-sizes.asp I think the best answer is to check with your doctor if possible, especially if the prescription for the sock is for the medium to higher compression socks

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 am 5' 9" and I wear LARGE FIRM Futuro restoring socks and they go well above the knee. I fold the top down about 1 1/2 inches like Austin mentioned. Maybe I should get Medium size, but my doctor recommended Large for my calves (which I think are average). They're comfortable, I am afraid medium might be too tight.

i think for both it depends on ur size, its a good product i've been using mine for a year no runs so far and the compression seems still good on my calf.

You want a snug fit, so If you fall between sizes, I would opt to go smaller.

Check out the sizing, and if you are between or at the lower end of the size range go down a size. I got the larger size and am able to pull the toes right off the end of my foot.

Small or medium depending on the size of your calf. The height goes to just below the knee.

I'd go for the medium. I bought a small and wear a size 7. My toes for right to the edge. The calf wouldn't be an issue due to the air pump, it will keep it tight.

Hi Susan, if you look at the pics displayed of box of stockings on amazon, there are 3 pics, one of them shows a size chart. You measure the circumference of your ankle, calf and thigh and that will tell you which size to order, small/Med/ or large. You can zoom in on the size chart, this should help. Measurements are the only accurate way on compression stockings as length and girth matter. You do not want them too short or tight...but you also don't want them too tall and loose, if there is too much excess stocking, it can bind worse than if too tight. They should not feel like your typical pantyhose. But a comfortable firm compression. Hope this helps.

I would try the medium first. I purchased for a friend who was about your height and the large was too big. Your calf size may make a difference. I am 5'7 and will be purchasing medium for myself.

I am between a medium and a large and large was way too big. So if you're on the edge I'd say go smaller.
