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.

I have a pretty slim/average calf (not skinny or muscular though) but I dont know diameter. They do not leave any marks or "too tight" lines on me.

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 have a very large calf and I have a lot of room left that I could expand to. I weigh over 300 lbs. If you would like me to actual measure, please let me know and I will do so. I have a size 12 foot and the large fits fine for length as well.

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

To determine my size (LG/XL) I assumed this type of support would be tight to provide proper support. I weigh 122 pounds - 5 feet 3 inches tall - so my legs are not very fat nor wide. This size is just right for me, more snug than loose. If you are close to my height/weight you might consider getting LG/XL. Anything smaller will be too tight for you. My circumference measurements around my leg are: 13 inches below the knee joint where the calf begins; 14.5 inches around the knee joint at the widest part; 15 inches above the knee joint where the thigh begins. Measurements taken standing up. If you measure much smaller or larger than me you need a different size from LG/XL. Hope this helps.Generosa Rader To determine my size (LG/XL) I assumed this type of support would be tight to provide proper support.

The boot worked well for me. I am in the exact same situation as you are, sort of. One foot is almost a thirteen and the other a hair over size 12. I bought the XL. One advantage is that you don't want your toes right at the front edge or over, because you will stub the front of it now and a gain and you don't want to smash your toe. The XL will put your big toe inside the front edge so it is safe from that. I have medium or a little bit larger sized calves and ankles for my height and weight, 5' 11" and 210 lbs, and it was a good fit all around. It relieved my achilles tendonitis greatly. Good Luck!

I wouldn't say they run wide because I have a wide foot and these are still a little snug on my foot. But evidently I don't have a big calf because the sides slap my legs. So I would say that they run wide in the calf but not necessarily wide in the foot. I wear a 8 1/2 wide & ordered a 9 and they were still too small--especially they were not wide enough! I re-ordered a 10 and they fit but still a little snug.

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.

I purchased X-large and they are 6.5 wide at the top multiply that by 2 and add 1/4 inch, stretch to 8 comfortably, maybe large would be better. I have never measured my calf, but they are large from playing soccer.

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.

Dear. CustomerAny leg size below 18" Mid Calf Circumference (Large = Regular Size) will be OK to use. Once air inflates to sleeve, inside of sleeve will be smaller than you leg size.

I am plus size. My calf is 16 1/2". I wear a women's Medium. Socks are tight but not too tight. Had my doctor check them. They definitely keep the swelling away. If you live in a hot summer climate you might prefer the open toe stockings. I love these stockings. They work better than the brands hospitals use.

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.

My calf measures 13 1/2" and I own these socks in a medium. They fit beautifully

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.
