I have pretty small calves, but I just measured them at about 14 inches. Is there a trick to the sizing I need to know before ordering?

I just measured mine (never done it before haha) and they are 16". These fit pretty tightly on the calf. Not sure if there is a trick. Sorry but I'm not much help

Hi amazongirl! I have 15" calves and ordered the medium. They are tight but not too tight.

Order at least a size bigger, even two from YOUR measure .. They were tight on me and I ordered my size according to their chart -- really tight. When I asked them about doing an exchange they told me they could not because they weren't carrying this style anymore ..... So tread carefully :)

You're safe to follow the CEP sizing chart. If your husband's calf size is exactly between two sizes(15.25"... size III or size IV ???), personally I would go with the smaller size. Otherwise follow the chart and you'll be pleased.

I think if you bought the extra large, you should be just fine. I ended up going from an extra large down to a large because the extra large on my 15 inch calves just felt like a sock not a compression sleeve. I think I read under one of the reviews was a person with 18 inch calves and he bought the extra large and he had no problems

I got the XL for a 17 inch calf and it feels great. I would go by that measurement to decide.

Small=12-14", Medium=14-15", Large=15-17", Extra Large=17-18" measurement around your calf.

I didn't find the info until I received the product and saw by the measurements on the package that I had ordered the wrong size.

My calf size is 16.5 and the socks fit perfectly. I can insert the shinguards without a problem (this are ~ 3/4 thick shinguards). I hope this answers your concern.

Go to Absolutemedical.com. It will give you directions and pictures on how to measure correctly for ankle measurement, calf measurement, and calf length. It also explains the compression difference you will need to know in ordering the correct size.

I'm tall, so I ordered Long which I believe was 17". They are sold in short, medium and long so it is best to measure your leg from ankle to just under your knee and measure the circumference of your calf in the thickest place. That way, the stockings will fit you like they were made for you.

I just paid $26.49 for these at a local pharmacy and I LOVE THEM! Here's the sizing chart if you haven't already purchased yours: Small: ankle 7"-8.25", calf 11"-14", medium: ankle 8 3/8"-9 5/8", calf 13.5"-16", Large: ankle 9.75"-11", calf 15.5"-18", X-Large 11 1/8"-12 3/8", calf 17.5"-20", 2X-Large: ankle 12.5"-13.25", calf 19.5"-22", 3X-Large: 12.5"-13.75", calf 21.5"-24". Length to Knee: Going from bottom of heel to the dip behind and below the knee, Regular is greater than 15", Short is 15: or less. For 2X and 3X the lengths are up to 18". It also says that men should choose an open toe style if your shoe size exceeds the following: Small: Shoe size 7, Medium: Shoe size 9.5, Large: Shoe size 11.5, X-Large: Shoe size 12.5, 2X-Large, Shoe size 12.5, 3X-Large, Shoe size 12.5.

If your legs are truly quite thick, you may want to try the Large. I found that the fit on the medium was tight (as it should be) even on my small calves. If your calves are larger, they'd be uncomfortably restrictive.

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.

I wish I did Paul. I expected more choices, or more sizes. I too much prefer a pull-on boot. Curiously, the Husqvarna has laces in the back! I need the full circumference to fit my pants inside the boot, too. The height of the boot is 14" measured inside fromthe heel, if that helps. It is a size 10-1/2 (the smallest available at the time...I usually wear size 9). With a liner for both comfort and winter wear, they fit me very well. Perhaps the measurements would be better for you on larger sizes. Put out the query for someone with your boot size (or 1 to 2 sizes larger). They're a fine boot. Good luck! I wish I did Paul.

Go to skins.net, choose a pair of compression socks then hit "size guide". Sizing is by calf size. The socks are amazing, I have five pairs (and no relation to the company). Also, if you're on the cusp between sizes, go down not up. I learned that via trial and error. Lastly, buy from "Skins" (even thru Amazon) and they will trade, refund, whatever is needed.

the real issue is the circumference of your calf. mine is 18" and i need a large. i wear a size 10 shoe and the foot of the sock is more than big enough.the chart on the box says up to 14" calf-small 15 &16" calf medium, 17&18" large, &gt;18 XL i would recomend you get the firm as they will of course get weaker as you wear them. they last me about 2 months. best regards
