I am a female, only 5 feet tall, but have calves that measure 13 1/2 in. I don't want to order too tall, or too tight. Any suggestions for size?

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.

This brand I ordered a small and the were still to big, I had my measured at dicks and was the same size as u. So i had to buy mine at dicks and gave these away.

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.

I have pretty large calves and wear the IV size...they are going to and are supposed to be very snug fitting. I wear them for a couple days in a row so as to not wear out the tightness. I own 3 pair and wear them daily to my CrossFit workouts; wouldn't go without!

I wear a size 12 in women's and personally have muscular calves. I have a medium and it fits perfectly. The plait pump on the boot will help fill the space and you and tighten the straps very well. I do not suggest getting bigger than a medium.

I would think you could comfortably wear a size small. I am 5'4" and 130 lbs. The small fits pretty snug, but they are high-waisted, which keeps them from cutting into my hips. They cut just about mid-calf. My fear is that a medium on your height would ride way too high on your torso and be too long in the legs. Good luck!

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.

Yes, I do believe I would order a large. I have small thighs (17.2") & calves (12"), and the medium was still very snug on my legs.

yes, they are very very tight though, especially if you have thicker legs. If not, you will be fine. I'm 5'3 with muscular short legs and they fit me, but i didn't like the end result.

Honestly you might try youth pads bc these could be too low on your calves. I'm 5'4.5" and youth xl's fit me great.

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.

I am 5' 9" and I wear LARGE FIRM Futuro restoring socks and they go well above the knee. I fold the top down about 1 1/2 inches like Austin mentioned. Maybe I should get Medium size, but my doctor recommended Large for my calves (which I think are average). They're comfortable, I am afraid medium might be too tight.

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 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!

I'm 5'11" and got the Large ones. They fit nicely, so I guess the Medium or Large would bee good for you. Depending on leg length and calf width I guess, since those factors would affect the way they fit a little bit. Medium perhaps would be an exact fit, large would give you a little more room.

Hi, I looked at their actual site for sizing. From there I took my own measurments and from those I tried to make the best decison from there. Also, if your half measurment is a size larger than what it should be for a smaller size based on the measurments for your thight, base your size off of your calf instead or the brace will not fit properly.

Just use the size chart on the back of the box shown in the product images. It's based on your leg measurements, not shoe size. I wear a size 9 women's shoe and have narrow feet, and I wear the same size as the person who posted about wearing a 15b shoe because I have large calves.
