What about calf width? Are the M/L also for a wide calf?

I ordered the S/M and even with my large-ish calves they stretch comfortably without the pattern warping too much. Compression socks should constrict, so ordering too big wouldn't give you as much relief. I have three pairs of these and even after washing in cold water cycle - hang dry- they always come out right. Perfect amount of stretch/comfort, even around wide calves like mine.

I have a pretty slim/average calf (not skinny or muscular though) but I dont know diameter. They do not leave any marks or "too tight" lines on me.

Can't say for sure, I would say I am an average calf and it is comfortable but snug.

Yes - I have both wide feet and wide calves and these fit great. I have short legs, though, so the extra width of the stocking may take us some of the length, I can't say.

I can't answer your question directly, but the way I found out what size to use was to go to the Internet and do a search. I also went to the Uncle Mike's website. Between the two, I was able to determine the right size. I will add the holster is pretty comfortable and I have found that giving the calf strap a twist so the end with the hooks is on the leg. This puts the fiber side, which is softer, toward the leg.

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 this for my mom while recovering from hip surgery so I do not have access to the item to measure. However, I do know that with practice it works very well and if you have large calf muscles like I do, you can easily spread the sock holder apart to accommodate your calf size.

These are sized by your calf measurements. Take a tape measure and note the distance around the widest point of your calf. Then, you can use the Skins sizing guidelines to determine your appropriate size. It's important to get the compression right, as too tight can cause discomfort and too loose you might loose the benefit of the sock.

Size chart is on back of box: S=7"-8 1/4" ankle M=8 3/8"- 9 7/8" ankle L= 10"-11 3/8" ankle XL= 11 1/2-13" ankle. There's a corresponding set of measurements for the calf. LTM

I have 21" calfs and use the Extra large with no problems at all. I can wear them all day with no issues.

I bought the large. I am NOT large but had some trouble previously with compression socks. The large digs in and leaves marks around the calf just below my knees. Almost like black and blue circle going around the calf. I suggest you try the large and see how they fit you. I need a larger sock but cannot seem to find any. Hope this helps.

I purchased the sock size that fit my shoe size (which was a medium). I have a 15 inch calf and the socks fit quite comfortably. I have problems with fitting socks over my calves. Not so with these.

I wouldn't say they run wide because I have a wide foot and these are still a little snug on my foot. But evidently I don't have a big calf because the sides slap my legs. So I would say that they run wide in the calf but not necessarily wide in the foot. I wear a 8 1/2 wide & ordered a 9 and they were still too small--especially they were not wide enough! I re-ordered a 10 and they fit but still a little snug.

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.

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.

large is perfect unless you have freakishly large calves. Also, buy 2 pair only because the quality is so good, best I've seen. The cheapo focus mitts revgear puts out is really nice aswell

No, it will too small in the calf area. I wear 8 and it did NOT FIT the calf. It was ok in width for the foot but very close for the foot length.

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.

I originally ordered a s/m and had to return them. They were for small feet. I was unclear on the sizing at first, as well. The S/M on the package fit up to a size 6 or 7. The M/L fit sizes 7 or 8 up to 10 or 11. I have a size 10 foot and went with the M/L. I would say a size m/l would be the best way to go for a size 8 foot. I don't think the sizing will matter for the calf. I am pretty sure the sizing is based on the foot size. The calf size seemed the same amount of material for both sizes. Hope I didn't confuse you. M/L :) would be my suggestion. I ordered that size for my friend who has a size 8 or 9 foot and she liked them. I originally ordered a s/m and had to return them. They were for small feet.
