If my calves are 15 inches, should I get the small or the medium size? The chart says either will work, but what's the better choice?

Hello, I think it depends on how much pressure you want. Obviously the small is going to fit tighter and if you are looking for stronger compression that might serve you better. I personally would choose the small, because the whole point is compression and they do stretch out after awhile so tighter in the beginning isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I guess it depends on your comfort. I was in between and ordered one of each. The smalls are good while I'm playing soccer, but the mediums are really comfy to wear through the day without feeling overly constricted.

I agree with the others...I would go for the smaller size. I was between sizes, went with a medium and it was too big.

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

Karen, check out the mediven website. You have to measure yourself and then get the appropriate size. I have large calves and wasn't aware that these were even an option until I'd been wearing the regular ones for months and I decided to investigate. The wide calf option makes a huge difference when you measure properly. Good luck!

I have a small for my 15 lb Bichon with shorter legs. Call the manufacturer or the place that is selling this product. or Try the medium size. Maybe they have these at your local store to go try them on.

I'd get a small. I have a Medium for my 45 pound Cattle Dog. While it would cinch down quite a bit more, 20 pounds is a lot. If I were Carol R, I'd go with small.

I would think you could comfortably wear a size small. I am 5'4" and 130 lbs. The small fits pretty snug, but they are high-waisted, which keeps them from cutting into my hips. They cut just about mid-calf. My fear is that a medium on your height would ride way too high on your torso and be too long in the legs. Good luck!

I would say either the L or XL. Obviously the L will have more compression on a 19" calf but the XL may not have enough compression for you.

Yes, I do believe I would order a large. I have small thighs (17.2") & calves (12"), and the medium was still very snug on my legs.

The think the size is determined by the size of your leg, not your shoe. Medium should work

I would say definitely go with the extra small. I normally wear medium, so I ended getting size small.

I purchased these compression stockings a while ago in the small size and my calf diameter is 14 inches. They still do not sag and still holds compression very well. I use them every day. Open toe helps because it will not compress around the toes. Good luck!

My dog is 15 lbs and it fits comfortably (maybe because he has a narrow waist). I think the small would be a bit too snug on a bigger dog. So, I would go with the medium.

I wear a medium and wear a women's size 7. It has more to do with your calf size than foot size.

Measure from the middle of the kneecap only and that will give you the size you need. mine fit perfect at 15"

I would get the size for the 14 leg cause the way these are made and feel the 16 would be too big. My mother has the same problem.
