What is the best way to determine the size needed for this product? There are no recommendations for size selection (calf dimension, shoe size, etc.)

I don't remeber what size I got, but it was the largest and they fit over size 14 pac boots and meaty calves. They also have enough adjustment that they work with sz12 logging boots and trail sneakers. As far as other sizes, I think I found complete sizing info on the OR website.

I am 5' 8" tall and use mine for both bare-booting and snowshoeing. I wear a pair of fairly thick snowboarding pants, so I bought a size large to ensure the gaiters would fit over them. I have been very happy with the product and with the size.

The best advice I can give on sizing is to go to their website, click FAQ and then call their 800 number. Moosjaw stores live chat was also helpful in determining the best size. The reason I say this is that the size is very dependent on the usage. I ordered the XL mainly to go over my large pac boots I wear ice fishing and still hunting deer in the winter muzzle loader season in Canada. Calf and shoe size are only helpful to a point since the ultimate measurement is what you will be wearing and putting the gaiter over top of when you are dressed. One solution is to put on the clothing you will be using and then measure. The larger sizes are taller which to me means warmer and more waterproof. There is a belt tightener at the top as well as under your boot ahead of the heel. I use a smaller size for fall grouse hunting and the XL for winter snowshoes on a size 10 lacrosse pac boot.I love these gaiters and if you follow the instructions in putting them on you will love them too. Another tip is to put them on with the boot buckle to the outside where it won't catch your clothing . cheers

True. I am a slender 6'2. The large size that I order is loose around the calf. However, there is a cinching mechanism at the top that keeps this in place. Plus, the material is rigid enough that it doesn't roll down.

take a cloth tape, measure 6 inches down from the center of yor knee cap and measure the diameter of your calf. repeat for thigh measurement. i believe if you look the info on the sleeve gives measurements for the sizing.

I received the M/L and wear a size 10 in a shoe. The heel part seemed to big for my feet. If u r a size 8 I would go with the smaller option. As far as the medium calf thing goes my athletic calf's couldn't handle it. Some of there products seem to be targeted for average legs. If it has a design be careful because it will leave marks up and down the leg. You could try the M/L to be safe and just return if they do not work.

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 have a 17 inch calf and I bought the large which is fine, you might consider medium, not sure how sizes run.

Hi Shannon, my size comparison is based solely on my calf size. Maybe this will give you an idea of what size to get. The widest area around my calf measures 13.5 inches. The small size fit perfectly. I had to put some effort into pulling it on...but it was tight fitting and stopped the pain when I ran. Hope this helps

I don't know the exact measurements but I can say that I purchased from my son and he wears a size 13/14 shoe. We needed to ensure his ankle was being soaked following a minor procedure and he says it covers up to just below his calf. Hope this helps.

In my case, my doctor measured me and told me I needed large based on my calf measurement. However I don't think the answer is a simple one. Much like shoes, size or 'large' size probably varies depending on brand or specific sock. I don't know if there is a difference based on gender. Simple answer is try these url's for a quick answer. http://www.jobst-usa.com/wear-care/measuring.html http://www.zensah.com/size-chart/ female specific:http://www.brightlifedirect.com/gender-womens-brands-plus-sizes.asp I think the best answer is to check with your doctor if possible, especially if the prescription for the sock is for the medium to higher compression socks

My mothers calf=14.5", is longer legged, 5'6"@ 146lbs, size10 1/2 shoes(larger bones)& always needs 'large' & w/gloves=x-lrg. They hand wash well, accomplish task & need time to develop a 'system' for pulling up in increments...superior to beige elastic pull-ups

The size is indicated by letters. I have size "D" and is used for leg calves, ankles, and arms for adults. There is a chart for sizes on the box.

Foot size doesn't matter for sleeves. Order by calf size. If in doubt on size, go smaller.

The salesman in the store went by my calf size and I got a perfect fit. I believe there is a size chart on the box that goes by calf size.

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 would definitely go with a large especially if you are new to compression socks. A medium will be uncomfortably tight around your calf and may actually constrict rather than compress.

I suggest going to the Sigvaris site @ http://www.sigvarisusa.com/ where you'll find details on the measurements you'll need to properly size the performance calf sleeve.

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.

Unfortunately, they do not come in length sizes and they will be a little bit long. You order by shoe size or calf measurement.
