How do I know what size to order? Also, would a size Medium at a comprssion of 15-20mmHg provide the same net compression as a size Large @ 20-50mmHG?

Size medium fits a male shoe size about 7-9, female shoe size about 8-10. Short to medium legs with medium to large calves. Sit on bed or couch with leg extended to put on. Do not sleep in them more than 1 night in a row, daytime use every day. Also, no, 15-20 compression is not as tight as 25-30 compression. I dont think they make 20-50 compression.

to find out what size to order, find out the size of your leg. if you look at the size chart on the box, there is a spot on amazon to see the size list under the product pic, it will tell u what size u need by the inches of your calf. As far as the compression goes I go with the firmest because the mediums slip down my leg and compress where it settles instead of the whole calf area. Hope this answers your question.

I am 6' 3" and bought the XL. They fit fine, not as tight as the L, and they go a little higher than I like. Will likely stick to toLarge going forward as I prefer the tighter fit. I don't compare various compression metrics.

A compression of 15-20 medium would not be the same as a 20-50 large. Size depends on height from ankle to knee and diameter of calf and diameter of ankle. Compression is the tightness of the fabric and you should get what your doctor ordered.

The answer to your question regarding what size to order is: I use the size chart on the Jobst website. http://www.compressionstockings.com/jobst-for-men-2030-mmhg-closed-toe-knee-high-ribbed-compression-socks-p-32.htmlI'm not sure how to answer your second question. What does your doctor recommend?

The answer is no. Please read below: 1- To find your size, first measure around the calf (widest part of lower leg) and also around the ankles. Go to the size chart on the product page and based on the mesurements taken youll find your size. 2- The support is determined by severity of swelling/edema. Mild swelling will do with a 15-20, I wear 20-30 Large with a calf 16.5" when swollen. 3- Any compression over 20-30 is best determined by a doctor as it may cause unwanted side effects or dangerous over compression if not needed. 4- If your problem is lymphatic drainage, there re ways to manually massage for relief and these stocking compliment/work like magic. Always best to check with a doctor first.

I would recommend getting the medium. If it is a bit tight, be aware that it will break in with use.

My son and I use medium, it fit slightly tight, but it fine with us as the one we have before was also a Bell medium different model and it was too lose. If it is uncomfortably tight get the large. Not sure what your using the helmet for, we race BMX and if the helmet move it interferes visibility.

I would do a medium. You can size it by moving the velcro and you want it to fit snug.

I would go with the medium. The belt feels pretty true to size and since the belt has to be pretty tight to work anyway, there shouldn't be any problems. I'm concerned that the large would put you out of the adjustment range and wouldn't work well for what the belt was intended for.

Well, my wife is a 7 1/2 and found my medium fits snug but not compressing. I am 10 1/2 and I found the medium nice and compress. I would recommend the medium for 9 1/2. This will avoid excessive compression from the small and allows flexibility . But you may want to contact Zensah for further advice.

1. Go to the Zensah website for sizing info. 2. These don't really provide 30-40 compression. At most they are 20-30. But you could try a smaller size for more compression. However, you risk not being able to get them on.

The more compression the better the support for your legs, and the increase in circulation. You should get sized for a proper fit, however I believe 15-20mmHg is a good place to start and 20-30 would be preferred. If your leg feels numb the compression is too tight and you should go down a size. It should increase circulation, never cut it off.

I would recomend a large, it will fall nice on you. please let me know if I'm right, thankyou.

They are sized correctly. If you are an I'm between size I would go down as you want maximum compression. Hope that helps

I am 5'4" and 115lb and wear a medium, but I like to size up in compression wear. I think a medium would fit you well.

Mine ran very loose at a size large , i would go at least medium. Although these shirts are very thin and don't provide much compression at all so beware

I bought mine at a trade show...purchased my second one thru amazon one size smaller. There is a sizing guide. Measure as they say but if you are right at the size change go smaller. I needed the compression and support for an ACL reconstruction on one side and beker's cyst on the other.

I guessed and hoped for the best. Try this: http://www.scubatoys.com/store/sizes/glovesize.asp

The web site says .5mm, and that is what I ordered. I think you should start with that size.

It calls for the Large/XLarge, but if you have a very thin calf, I would recommend you look into the Sockwell Men's Elevation Compression sock, they are 20-30mmHg in compression where the Circulator's are 15-20mmHg. Hope this helps.

I have no clue what mmhg stands for. What I know is my calf measures 16.25" and these compression socks doesnt compress much, so I still use my wrap bandages to get the compression I want.
