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 would try the medium first. I purchased for a friend who was about your height and the large was too big. Your calf size may make a difference. I am 5'7 and will be purchasing medium for myself.

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 ordered the Medium, and my calf is 14cm diameter, there would be some room for stretch, but not too much.

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.

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

My foot is Medium but these are plenty wide for me even w/ socks, and the calf part is wide. I got a half size larger than I usually wear and put an insert in the boots.

My calf measures 14"; I got the Large size. They fit VERY snuggly. The Medium would have been too small.As I noted in my review, I'm 5' 4"; the sleeves came down to the arch of my foot, which was OK. Actually felt good.

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.

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.

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 wear size 7.5 and a large fits my foot well but they are a little tight on my calf. The largest part of my calf is 14 inches. Hope that helps.

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

In my opinion you would need a large . my calfs are small but I need a medium a small is in comfortable

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.

They can adjust pretty wide. What you should be concerned with is the Velcro. The Velcro will wear out rather quickly as mine did and you will have issues fastening the straps, especially with a big calf.
