Do you think these would fit around a large calf or are they made for skinny calves?

If you are afraid they will be snug, order mens. I have the medium/large for woman, and I wear a size 10 shoe and I am not a small woman. But I also have 2 pairs that I bought in mens just for the grey color, and they fit fine too.

They tend to fit me more up under the knee, and not around the widest part of my calf. I'm 6ft tall, and never had an issue with them feeling too tight wearing them all day (in and out of snow) while working. Don't even remember any red elastic type marks on skin common to tight socks.

Yes. Definitely mid-calf. But I would buy a size larger. Although they are very sturdy and comfortable, there is some slight shrinking you may experience that I forgot to mention in my review. I hope this is helpful.

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.

I have the same size calves. I made a small cut to the elastic bands on the top and bottom and simple folded them in on itself, it fits perfectly and you cant see the cut. The middle is tight but not constricting and very comfortable.

Karen, check out the mediven website. You have to measure yourself and then get the appropriate size. I have large calves and wasn't aware that these were even an option until I'd been wearing the regular ones for months and I decided to investigate. The wide calf option makes a huge difference when you measure properly. Good luck!

The circumference around the top of the gaiter is approximately 20 inches. So even with fairly heavy pants they should fit a wide calf.

Order by shoe size. I have very large calves and they fit just fine. Remember you are buying compression hose so they have a lot of stretch in them.

The calf strap is quite generous. Would guess strap will allow at least 2/3 larger calf than average.

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

Yes they do. I have large calves and have no problem wearing them. I prefer the Travelsox brand to others I have tried.

Probably not. The material stretches some, but these were pretty snug over my bare feet. You could go a size up, but then you risk them being slouchy in the calf area.

I would say No. They are perfect for gardening and a spring rain but they do not go up past your calf- so depending on how deep is deep - I would go for a pair that were a bit taller and closer to your knees. They are definitely not riding boots.

My calves are 18" and my quads are 27" so I went with large and they fit well... Maybe a little loosely. But they do offer great knee support!

Hello. I wear a size 7.5 with an average calf size. I bought the Med/Large. As the previous reviewer said, they are snug so the added size will be a plus. They work wonderfully and I will be using them again this week, when traveling.

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.

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!
