I'm only 5'3" but have huge calves (about 15.5). I ordered an XL but now I'm worried they'll be too long? Should I have gone down to Large?

I would rather have the XL fit my calf and be a little long than it be too tight to work properly.

I would definitely order a small, I am 6'2 and my legs are the same circumference and the medium was too big and stretched the entire length of my leg, someone at your height from what I've seen would have to go small, possibly xsmall if the small ends up being too long, I was able to return the mediums no problem in exchange for the smalls.

Dear Erica!As you checked the sizing, you would be on the Small one for your height, but medium with your calves. I would suggest the medium. It won't be longer that much and also, you shouldn't take the small, because it would be so tight, unhealthy.

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!

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.

Hi amazongirl! I have 15" calves and ordered the medium. They are tight but not too tight.

I'm fairly short, about 5'7'', and the boots go up just below knees. The calf portion is fairly wide, as I didn't have any problems stuffing my pants into the boots. However, the boots fit quite wide if you don't intend to wear shoes with them. I'm an 8D and the boots are quite loose without shoes. I would go down a size if wearing boots without shoes.

Hmm, tough call. I'm 5'9", 160 and the large was a just a little loose fitting except for around my lower legs where it was very loose. I'm guessing a medium would have fit but would have been a little tight. So if you are looking for a tighter fit you should be ok.

I have the same problem but they ask for the calf size and mine fit great. I will admit I fell right between two sizes and took the larger. Here is a link for the sizing chart. http://www.foryourlegs.com/skin1/images/medicalfchart.gif

Linda, I found the chart to be accurate. I'm 5'9" and 195 and got the XL (largest size). I agree that large doesn't sound right to me, for you. Did you use a flexible measuring tape to measure your calf circumference? A piece of string will work.

I'm male and a bit over 6 feet tall with 13 3/4 in calves. The medium calf compression sleeves are ideal in length but a tad loose fitting. Since you're a foot shorter than I, I suspect that medium will be too long.

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 bought the "Long Large" because I am 6'3" and I have had problems in the past with things being to short. I would have been fine with the "Long" as these are almost too long. As far as the feet, I wear a 10.5 and there is all kinds of extra room. I would think the size would easily fit a 13.

In my opinion you would require a large. My calves are small but I need a medium . A small was uncomfortable .

I think it might depend on your calf size. Some people have bigger calves and going smaller may be more difficult putting on & removing the brace. However, over time the brace will loosen up. I know my has and I have to pull the strap more these days. My calves are a little smaller so I think, I could have went down another size. I will most likely purchase another one to see.

My calves are 15 in. and I have the small/medium....for you, I would suggest the medium/large.....

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.
