My calf is 13" around at the widest part. Should I be getting the small which says 13.25" or is that too big? Reviews seem to say tight generally..

I'm pretty sure you should be good with the small. I had to get the large for the length, and they are snug.

I'm 5' tall and 100 lbs. I got the extra small and I wish I had gotten the Small. I hope this is helpful.

I would say either the L or XL. Obviously the L will have more compression on a 19" calf but the XL may not have enough compression for you.

Actually, despite the fact that most Nike products run small, and some of their Dri-Fit socks can be really tight over the calf, this one really isn't. It's actually quite loose around the calf area. Almost too loose I would argue. It's a fairly loose fitting sock in general... so if you have bigger calves like me, they might work out for you and feel really comfortable. Otherwise, if you have smaller calves, they might be too loose for you. It really depends on how you feel they fit....

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.

I have smaller calves, 14", but there feels like there would be some room to expand. They'd be a tight fit, though.

Hmm. I don't know what size calves I have or a measuring tape, so used the scientific method. I grabbed a nearby USB cord and wrapped it around my calf and then measured the cord with a yardstick. According to my precision method, ;) my calf is 15". When I wore mine there was over-lap, so there was room to let the guards out, but I'm unsure how much more. Not one of my better answers, but maybe you can get a rough estimate from that until somebody with a more accurate reply comes along. I did like the guards, for whatever that is worth.

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.

I would go with Large. I'm 5'2" with 15" calves and I got medium, and they weren't too tall or anything. I think the mediums would be a little too tight on 16" calves.

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

Hi there, and yes it's a small to medium. You would need a large, reason why the small to medium would be way to tight and cut of your circulation. I would recommend a large, to where it still works and feels good at the same time. I love this compression sock, it really works. My pain in my heal has reduced allot, use to have my sock on everyday but not anymore. Hope it works for you

We bought for a friend that has a 171/2 inch calf with a size 10 shoe. We bought her the 2X. She says it is perfect for her because she doesn't like a tight fir. Wish we could be of more help.

I purchased these compression stockings a while ago in the small size and my calf diameter is 14 inches. They still do not sag and still holds compression very well. I use them every day. Open toe helps because it will not compress around the toes. Good luck!

The length is approximately the dame from small to large to accommodate a variety of calf lengths. However, the calf size in width/circumference is what is important. You don't want it excessively tight. Measure carefully. I found this product runs a little smaller/tighter than other brands.

My calf measures 42 1/2cm. I like the Jobst Stocking Donner because the stocking are easy to put on. It may seem hard to pull the stocking over the area for the stocking but try and it will be great. Make sure that you follow the directions on how far to pull the stocking over the area. Also a hint, wear Jobst gloves . This will help you pull and fit the stocking as well as having less chance of poking you finger through them.

My wife and I are 13-13.5" and we are using Small/Med and L/XL just fine. I'd say L/XL should work for you.

I don't know. I have never measured my calf. I think mine is a regular calf size. I am a swimmer. I went with my shoe size. I use them for flying. I am a flight attendant and I needed a lot of compression. They really do the work. I am satisfied with my purchase.

If your legs are truly quite thick, you may want to try the Large. I found that the fit on the medium was tight (as it should be) even on my small calves. If your calves are larger, they'd be uncomfortably restrictive.
