Do you have to measure your calf or measure the length to see what size you need. I wear a men's size 11 wide shoe and I'm 5'9".

No I didn't measure. I'm a men's 13 shoe and 6'3" and it fits well. Sock is elastic and stretches to accommodate my foot without discomfort. Length is just right for me without binding by the knee. I can't speak to leg length but I find them very comfortable.

I went by shoe size (and the socks were too small for my calf). They kept rolling down. I gave them to my husband and he loves them!

Shoe size 7.5 to 10. Calf size - 15" to 16". I found shoe size works very well, went to X-Large from Large because I'm borderline, and my toes feel much less cramped. Good Socks!

That's the problem I had! The size is based on measuring around the knee. The website lists one sizing chart, but the packaging lists another. I measured 14 inches, bought a medium, and it was too small. Here's the website: https://www.kneesupport.com/mcdavid/. I think the issue was that i have muscular calves, so my proportions may be different than their "standard". My suggestion: buy a size larger than you think you need. Good Luck!

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.

Just use the size chart on the back of the box shown in the product images. It's based on your leg measurements, not shoe size. I wear a size 9 women's shoe and have narrow feet, and I wear the same size as the person who posted about wearing a 15b shoe because I have large calves.

I went to Dick's Sporting Goods and picked mine up there. They carry the same brand. If you have one in your area, you could do that. The other option, go to the web site and read their directions on how to measure your ankle. I ended up one size down from what I thought I would be. If you have the sports store option, you can always take your shoe off and put it on top of your sock. If the price is better online, order it after testing the product size in the store. :)

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.

My shoe length is just over 11 inches and the medium was perfect. I wear a women's size 8 ASIC tennis shoe. Hope that helps.

I don't know if they give the measurement around calves but my husband are real big. Around calves would matter

It seems to me that the boot size is more relevant to the actual boot itself, as I followed the sizing guide (which I recommend) and the boot was very roomy. The liner was too small for my wide calf, but I rigged it with safety pins. Don't go up a size because the boot will be so large that it could be unmanageable.

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.

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!

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

Hello. I wear a size 7.5 with an average calf size. I bought the Med/Large. As the previous reviewer said, they are snug so the added size will be a plus. They work wonderfully and I will be using them again this week, when traveling.

I'm 5'10" and wear a women's size 10 shoe. I purchased a medium and wish it were longer in the foot.

I have a very large calf and I have a lot of room left that I could expand to. I weigh over 300 lbs. If you would like me to actual measure, please let me know and I will do so. I have a size 12 foot and the large fits fine for length as well.

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.
