Do you recommend sizing up or down when you are between sizes when measuring your calf?

If you are used to wearing compression socks you could size down. If you are not you might want to size up until you get a feel for what level of compression works best for you. I wouldn't size down if you are planning on wearing them for extended periods of time.

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.

If your 6 feet tall and very slim I would say a small, medium may slide down a bit but you will get more length coverage. Medium build go with medium for sure. Large build go with large. When I say build I mean roughly how big your calves are. I'm 5 feet tall ordered a small and I'm always pulling them up in between sparring rounds. Hope this helps!

The sizing of the stockings is determined by the leg and thigh size around if you're wearing the thigh high. I would go as small as you can for the best compression, as the stockings stretch out eventually. I went down a size and like the smaller ones better. However,I have only purchased the open-toe stockings. You might want to go to Jobst's web site for a sizing chart.

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.

That's correct the top of calf. Order one size smaller than the measurement says to. They don't sell by the pair either so order 2

On the back of the box are the instructions on how to measure to determine your size. I enlarged the photo of the back of the box to determine what size I needed, my calves are 22" around and hence I ordered XL and it works perfect! I started with 2XL and they work as well, only difference is the foot is too large and I have extra room in the toes on that pair.

Check out the sizing, and if you are between or at the lower end of the size range go down a size. I got the larger size and am able to pull the toes right off the end of my foot.

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 felt that the company's sizing recommendations were accurate. If you're in between sizes, I would size down.

Hi, I looked at their actual site for sizing. From there I took my own measurments and from those I tried to make the best decison from there. Also, if your half measurment is a size larger than what it should be for a smaller size based on the measurments for your thight, base your size off of your calf instead or the brace will not fit properly.

Linda, I found the chart to be accurate. I'm 5'9" and 195 and got the XL (largest size). I agree that large doesn't sound right to me, for you. Did you use a flexible measuring tape to measure your calf circumference? A piece of string will work.

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.

Hello-The best way is to measure your leg. Here are the measurements for the 2 different sizes.Regular Size: Ankle:15" / Mid Calf: 18"/ Knee:20" / Mid Thigh: 24"Large Size: Ankle:19" / Mid Calf: 23"/ Knee:25" / Mid Thigh: 29"These sizes are for full leg sleeves. Half Leg are a little smaller. Please feel free to contact us if you need further assistance or have any other questions. Thank you,Cristina

I am between a medium and a large and large was way too big. So if you're on the edge I'd say go smaller.

Well, that's a tough one. I went small but my lower measurement was barely a 3 and my thigh was a 2 and I went with a 2 and I haven't had any problems.. Looking at the website it says Ur lower is a size 4 and the upper a size 2...id probably split the difference and go size 3...but that's me.. At Ur measurements on the bauerfiendusa website, 3 would be just 3/8 of inch too big on thigh and 1/8 inch small on the lower so that's what I would do.
