Are these tighter around the calves?

That will probably depend on your sizing. All the reviews including mine advise sizing up maybe even 2 full sizes. I got the XXLs, my legs are pretty thick and they do not get tight at the calves. They are slightly loose from right above the knee all the way down. That said, they are NOT so loose that they could get caught in the chain.FWIW - if you can get the right size these pants are a winner! I'm about to order a 2nd pair.

No, zipper bottom ankles help slip on but overall a loose fit NOT SKIN TIGHT. My son and I felt no tightness, though we are both slim.

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.

I would say yes. The foot area is cushioned but not so thick you can't get shoes on.and the calf part is thinner and nice and loose which I need with my diabetic swelling.

No.. These boots are nice and wide, as a matter of fact I'm actually wearing my boots right now, I have a pair if tube socks on with a pair of thick wool socks underneath and I still comfortable. I suggest that you buy these boots with no worries..

I bought medium and my calves are not very big and they are pretty snug. Left impression on my legs from tightness. You may want to go with Large. I wear size 10 shoe as well.

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.

These socks come right up to under my kneecap where it is more "bony" than when on the calf. There is just a very slight compression to keep the sock up and from rolling down. Have now bought several pairs as they are most comfortable around and don't bind and compress on the ankle or calf.

My calves are 14.5 and I got the large and they fit me. I'm not sure how big the x-large get, but you may be right.

Just below the knee, perhaps a little higher up depending on how tight you pull them up. Fully covers the calf.

Yes. I wear with boots all the time. My boots have a 3 inch heel and are mid calf.

I found the tightest fitting part of these thermals was the calves. The waist actually fit my 38" comfortably with room around the hips for my standard issue under-roos.

They might be pretty tight cus they are form fitted to your feet and if u get a larger size for that the calf might be too lose then

Yes they do. I have large calves and have no problem wearing them. I prefer the Travelsox brand to others I have tried.

Hi Kim:Because these velcro on you should be able to adjust the wraps to fit your thighs and calves. I personally love mine and don't have any fit problems.

My calf is almost 13 at the largest point but it doesn't go down that far, knee is 14 and I got a small. It's tight..but it's supposed to be. They loosen up over time but not much.

no. MY wife uses them as compression socks for calf and ankle swelling. They work fine.

Probably not. The material stretches some, but these were pretty snug over my bare feet. You could go a size up, but then you risk them being slouchy in the calf area.

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.
