Do these run like panty hose and do they run to size, i.e. is large really large

No, they are sturdier construction than pantyhose. I think they run a little big.

I bought the silk long johns in a size small for my girlfriend. She says they fit perfectly and that is what she would normally wear. Hope it helps.

they do run when they get old, but mine haven't yet. I would guessthe large fit up to maybe a size 14, a real 14.

I don't think they run like pantyhose but am not positive. I take a size 12 and the M fit perfectly.

They have a loose fit. If you want them to fit like panty hose, order a size or two down.

Unfortunately YES they do run like pantyhose. And yes, large is true to size large.

Hi Karen, I went to the store and bought the first pair. They measured my legs and gave me one of about 5 sizes that these come in. I then went to amazon and bought two pair at almost half the price that I paid at the store. I have found these stockings to be comfortable and have noted that they do not roll down or crease much if at all. I think if you follow the sizing chart correctly you should be happy with them. I cannot say that my calves are unduly large, but I started wearing these after vericose vein surgery last year, I am still wearing them. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of any other help.

They aren't too difficult to get on. I put them on like I would if they were panty hose; I bunch them up and start at the toe. I then pull the sock all the way up to my knee and adjust it if it seems a little crooked. I wear them everyday and it honestly takes me just a minute to put them on.

I don't think they run large. However, they do run long....to protect the wrist area.

I found them to be pretty much true to size. I generally buy size large. I've had two pairs for a couple months and machine wash them frequently but I do NOT put them in the dryer. They have held up well. (I had previously worn the Target brand crop pants in size large).

Yes I would go up a size they fit snug. As they should !! You dont want things leaking out :)

Buy the size you would normally wear. I purchased the size I normally wear and they run about a half size large. By the way, I'd buy them again!

I ordered mine for riding my motorcycle, and I'm going to say they do run true to size. I have thick fingers, so I wanted to make sure they weren't pinched. The finger may end up a little longer, but that's the way it goes. I would agree with LeRox's answer, regarding going one size down if you need to be able to pick up parts without taking the gloves off. Just decide what you're going to use them for the most & go by that.

Well that is difficult to tell, since there is difference between brands. But if I normally am more medium then on these I'm more large. So the sizes run small. Hope this helps a bit?

Only the first time. A slight pull-tug type dance; Just pull on like you would panty-hose but with more grip and force. Squat a few times to adjust the fabric. They are extremely comfortable once you are in them. I am 5'9'' and weigh 156lbs. I purchased a large. They keep my aching areas tight and warm. A definite SOLID purchase. You will not be disappointed! People inquire all the time when I am wearing them.

They run about half a size large (for layered socks). I don't know if they come in toddler sizes.

My calf measures 14.5" and just below the knee 13.5"...kinda chubby, and I have had no problem with these hose. AND, I really like its color and texture. They really look like regular hose and not supphose! Happy hunting! Annieoldgirl aka Grannie Annie

Order by shoe size. I have very large calves and they fit just fine. Remember you are buying compression hose so they have a lot of stretch in them.

They do run large so the waist size would not be a problem. The length may be a problem. The shoulder straps may be a little short. If you are sitting, say on a motorcycle, the pants would ride high up on your boots.Hope this helps.

They run very true to size. Even with a big pair of socks, you will be better if they are tight fitting than if they are too big!

Due to the waist band having an elastic hidden band for comfort, I would say they run a size bigger than normal. I have thick thighs as well and found that if I had ordered a size smaller it would have been a perfect fit for me. I have a curvy figure so it's sometimes hard for me to judge what would work. I feel confident that if you order a size smaller than your normal perfect fit you will be happy.

Just kinda go with what size you are.I am a recent parapalegic I have to wear them every day the rest of my life.I was 6 foot 2 when I landed in chair I use a large.I think there measuring is kinda hoopla.If you are small get small,large get large.Just remember they are compression stockings.They must work right.They are very helpful,but they can also be damaging.
