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.

I would guess they would be wide enough as the fabric is quite stretchy. They are not a tight fitting sock.

Edwin, First of all, I apologize for taking so long to answer. These were originally ordered for my husband, and were to small for him. I am female, stand about 6'. These are knee socks and in the large size, tight on my calves - enough so that I have had bruises. The compression is somewhat gradual up the sock but still quite tight at the top. Hope this helps.

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!!

I also tossed the wrapping but I would say the foot part of the socks are light weight 100% cotton -the calf part is cotton/nylon and stretches without leaving "marks". There is elastic 1/2 inch at top of sock to hold them up. My husband wears these socks with work boots every day with no complaints about the lightweight cotton. I wear the ankle socks and like the light weight cotton material. My feet swell and the only mark I get is right where that elastic holds the sock up. I highly recommend both types of the socks.Hope this helps.

Yes, they're stretchy and form fitting. I bought the adult sized socks and if your little one(s) are little sized, you probably want to go with a smaller size.

My guess is, that this is a one size fits most. My calves are a little over 18" at the largest point and these fit just fine. Just a little more info. I really like the way they feel. May not need them as much since I learned my solius muscle was my problem and now I know how to stretch it separate from my gastrocnemius. They really keep your calves warm, they are really sweaty after a rigorous workout.

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, &gt;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

I have pretty large calves and wear the IV size...they are going to and are supposed to be very snug fitting. I wear them for a couple days in a row so as to not wear out the tightness. I own 3 pair and wear them daily to my CrossFit workouts; wouldn't go without!

no. MY wife uses them as compression socks for calf and ankle swelling. They work fine.

My calf size is 16.5 and the socks fit perfectly. I can insert the shinguards without a problem (this are ~ 3/4 thick shinguards). I hope this answers your concern.

Hi, sorry I dont have the sock on me right now to check the tag. You should ask the seller. I can tell you that they feel like average quality socks. Meaning they are comfortable, but not plush. I hope that helps.

they are very wide on the calf. they flop a lot - make sure you wear socks with them for best comfort.

I purchased these for my mother (size 9.5 womens) who has extremely swollen feet. These socks are thick and stretchy. Since you are in the middle of the two sizes, I think the question becomes what are your personal preferences in terms of how high you want the sock coming up your calves. If you want them on the lower side I would get the 8-11.

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.

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

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.
