I have pretty small calves, but I just measured them at about 14 inches. Is there a trick to the sizing I need to know before ordering?

I just measured mine (never done it before haha) and they are 16". These fit pretty tightly on the calf. Not sure if there is a trick. Sorry but I'm not much help

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

I got the XL for a 17 inch calf and it feels great. I would go by that measurement to decide.

I didn't find the info until I received the product and saw by the measurements on the package that I had ordered the wrong size.

Should not be a problem. They are made with cycling in mind, so the legs are form fitting and the ankle opening is narrower. The best way to describe the fit is like a pair of skinny jeans as opposed to straight-leg jeans; they get narrower down by the ankles. I lift weights and have relatively muscular legs for my height. I have no problem with the fit around my calves. I have these pants in a large, have 15.5" calves, and these fit great.

Go to skins.net, choose a pair of compression socks then hit "size guide". It's by calf size. The socks are amazing, I have five pairs (and no relation to the company).

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.

Hello Lynn. I have a 12" calf. 5'2" I ordered a medium and they work fine for me, I must say the band is tight.

Measure around smallest part of the ankle and around the widest flare of the calf. Then measure the length of your leg from the heel at the floor to the bend in the knee. Small - 7"-8-1/4" ankle, 11"-14" calf. Med - 8-1/8"-9-5/8" ankle, 13-1/2"-16" calf. Large - 9-3/4"-11" ankle, 15-1/2"-18" calf. X-Large - 11-1/8"-12-3/8" ankle, 17-1/2-20" calf. 2XLarge - 12-1/2"-13-3/4" ankle, 19-1/2"-22" calf. 3XLarge - 12-1/2"-13-3/4" ankle, 21-1/2"-24" calf... Length to Knee - Regular - greater than 15". Short - 15" or less. 2X&3X - up tp 18".

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!

Measure the smallest part of the ankle,widest part of the calf. Then from the heel to the knee bend.Your Regular if heel to knee is more than 15", less than 15" your shot. Then Ankle 7"- 8 1/4" and calf 11"-14" is small. Medium ankle is 8 3/8"-9 5/8" and calf 13 1/2" to 16". You are large if ankle is 9 3/4" to 11" and your calf is 15 1/2" to 18". X Large is ankle 11 1/8" to 12 3/8" with calf 17 1/2" to 20". 2XL 12 1/2" to13 3/4" ankle and 19 1/2" to 22" calf. Got it right from the box.

It really depends on your weight and calf size. Seems like they run a bit small. Granted I have pretty big calves, but I wound up having to gimmick them to be able to take them on and off regularly. So just beware. They are nice, but just a little small.

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.

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!

I am 5"8 and I ordered a medium. Someone in my class thought they were tight on her calves, but she has issues with nerves in her legs. If you have average sized calves and no sensitivities, they should be fine. Mine are very comfortable and don't move around.

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.

Go to skins.net, choose a pair of compression socks then hit "size guide". Sizing is by calf size. The socks are amazing, I have five pairs (and no relation to the company). Also, if you're on the cusp between sizes, go down not up. I learned that via trial and error. Lastly, buy from "Skins" (even thru Amazon) and they will trade, refund, whatever is needed.
