Has anyone who was borderline a size 7 due to post-op swelling purchased a 7 and it worked? My calf size is up a bit, but fits in the size 7 range. The thigh is a disaster still and about 2 inches over the thigh range from the swelling. Not sure if I...

This is probably best addressed by your surgeon or physical therapist! My best guess is it's OK, however I am not involved personally in your care and not the last word.

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.

It fit me perfectly, I am also a size 8 regular and had a double grade 3 sprain. My ankle was swollen to the size of a small mellon. It does give lots of support and it came up about 6 inches below the knee. It comes with extra padding I used when the swelling went down a bit. I was very pleased with the product and saved a lot of money. I hope this helped.

My thigh is large dand I've had no problem with XL, which is what I have. OK? I'm 5'10 and at 296lbs t would seem we have the same circumference. Not bad for a 7 footer(heh)zit stays put, gives warmth and is easy on/off. Don't go to any smaller ones, too much pressure in one jplace.

I used to wear 8 extra extra wide, perhaps the same as 4E. I bought the narrower of the two sizes which were offered some years ago. I would put them on at night to hold down swelling that occurred during the day. They were fine for a few hours but I would need to pull them off before morning. More recently, I bought just one for the foot that still swells. I bought it in the larger size; it was too loose to help.

I am the same size now and it worked just fine for me last week when I had vein work done. So yes it will. They are tough to get on- try rolling it and working it up your leg- not like traditional pull ons,

Anyone with above the normal calf size...this unit is not for you. No adjustmentfor men verses women calves. Also...i sent this back in ALL of the original wrappings and they were not that nice plus added a *restocking fee* if i can remember. I would not recommend this product...it hurt my feet and calves.

They don't have actual measurement-based sizing, unfortunately. The Small/Medium and Medium/Large size specs are all we have to work with. That being said, there is a review that conveys an opinion/advice that any calf circumference of 15" or more should be paired with a Medium/Large sleeve. I happen to have ordered the Medium/Large size without measuring anything, and I struggle a little to get the sleeve on and in place (which might simply be the 'nature of the beast', given what it's supposed to do), but it works extremely well, and is the only thing in my experience to prevent the shin splints I was otherwise plagued with and practically guaranteed to 'get'. I just measured my calf circumference, and it's ~14.5" -- so although mine is less than 15", a Medium/Large is what I needed, and it works well enough to do the job, but is tight enough when trying to get it on to make me wonder whether I ordered too small a size -- but once in place, it's fine, and it's not too tight (feel-wise), and doesn't hurt, etc. -- it just works like a charm.

My knee measurement is 16 1/2 (across the knee cap) so this fits fine at that point but I found it too tight at the calf and the upper leg. Perhaps I have some swelling because of inflamation. I've found a more comfortable one at Walmarts, size L/XL which fits 16" to 20" and does not have the velcro tabs top and bottom. I found the tabs don't close flatly and catch on clothing.

Frank I had to purchase 3 different selves. I am on the heavy side and the Mens XL and the Ladies XL were to small and cut into my thigh and rolled down the largest size they had the elastic band still cut into my thigh and rolls down. Because I had to go to a larger size the selves it self is to lose to do my knees any good. So I would use the size of your thigh and your weight to determine what size to purchase if possible you can try to reach some one at Tommie Copper, but I hear that can be hard to do.

I didn't measure my knees; I just wanted one that would really wrap around my swollen knee all the way, so I ordered the large. I had knee replacement surgery and my knee was swollen up huge!

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!

Go to skins.net, choose a pair of compression socks then hit "size guide". Sizing is by calf size. The socks are amazing, I have five pairs (and no relation to the company). Also, if you're on the cusp between sizes, go down not up. I learned that via trial and error. Lastly, buy from "Skins" (even thru Amazon) and they will trade, refund, whatever is needed.

I bought the large. I am NOT large but had some trouble previously with compression socks. The large digs in and leaves marks around the calf just below my knees. Almost like black and blue circle going around the calf. I suggest you try the large and see how they fit you. I need a larger sock but cannot seem to find any. Hope this helps.

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.

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.

take a cloth tape, measure 6 inches down from the center of yor knee cap and measure the diameter of your calf. repeat for thigh measurement. i believe if you look the info on the sleeve gives measurements for the sizing.
