Can anyone tell me if the socks are stretchy for around the calf?

I purchased these for my son and he loves them. He says they fit well and are very comfortable. Yes, they are stretchy around the calf.

These socks come right up to under my kneecap where it is more "bony" than when on the calf. There is just a very slight compression to keep the sock up and from rolling down. Have now bought several pairs as they are most comfortable around and don't bind and compress on the ankle or calf.

I don't know how far they stretch, but my calf is 14" and the hose would fit larger than that. They have a full toe and a good length for a knee high, so that would help. I really like mine.

Yes it does stretch the socks in order t get them on. But,my socks always return to their original size. I never requested a certain size. I assume one size fits all.

These socks are basically regular, stretchy socks with the cuff ending up slightly above the ankle. They are NOT as plush as women's spa socks. Hope this helps.

ly to Louis's question, my husband says these socks are not compression socks. Rather they are extremely comfortable and feather light. Teri V.

I just measured mine (never done it before haha) and they are 16". These fit pretty tightly on the calf. Not sure if there is a trick. Sorry but I'm not much help

the real issue is the circumference of your calf. mine is 18" and i need a large. i wear a size 10 shoe and the foot of the sock is more than big enough.the chart on the box says up to 14" calf-small 15 &16" calf medium, 17&18" large, >18 XL i would recomend you get the firm as they will of course get weaker as you wear them. they last me about 2 months. best regards

They are approximately 12 and 3/4 inches however they stretch. I also have very large calfs so I made sure to order the correct size. I hope this helps!

You have my problem Ben. When I said they fit as expected, they do, for a while. Stretch way to much, for me, they don't go high on ankle. Avoid these. Go with Hanes, They have a size 13/15. I think when they say large means they fit my Grandson. As I'm sure you know, any sock of this type, large don't cut it.

I do not have large calves. However they do stretch and are tough to get on but any GREAT stocking will be. Hope this helped ya out!

These are sized by your calf measurements. Take a tape measure and note the distance around the widest point of your calf. Then, you can use the Skins sizing guidelines to determine your appropriate size. It's important to get the compression right, as too tight can cause discomfort and too loose you might loose the benefit of the sock.

They are not tight by any means, nor do they ride down into my shoes.They are very comfortable. However, I would guess that if most socks are tight for you, these will be as well.

They are indeed tight, and narrow, but not over the calf. They are lower than that.

I bought these for my teenage son who doesn't have large calves per say, but I did check socks to answer your question, and they are quite stretchy. So I would think that they would work for you.

Well, I have big feet! Size 9.5 - 10 & these socks are snug but they fit fine. They are a bit stretchy too. Hope this helps!!
