My shoe size is 7.5, but my calf is 17.25" ... what size do I select?

I would definitely go with a large especially if you are new to compression socks. A medium will be uncomfortably tight around your calf and may actually constrict rather than compress.

I don't know. I have never measured my calf. I think mine is a regular calf size. I am a swimmer. I went with my shoe size. I use them for flying. I am a flight attendant and I needed a lot of compression. They really do the work. I am satisfied with my purchase.

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.

My calves are 7 1/2 inches in circumference and the XL fits me perfectly. The elastic is very stretchy so there's a wide range it can fit. I would go by measuring around the widest part of the calf and try to calculate from there!

I'm a size 9.5 or 10 and were perfect. But please BE AWARE that it doesn't have to do that much with shoe size but your calf, ankle and thigh circumference. On the third image of this product, a "Fitting Intructions" chart is shown that will guide you on which size you should pick.

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

I purchased X-large and they are 6.5 wide at the top multiply that by 2 and add 1/4 inch, stretch to 8 comfortably, maybe large would be better. I have never measured my calf, but they are large from playing soccer.

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

My calf size is 14 inches and it fits conformably. I would imagine the larger the calf the tier it will get. I sometime prefer tier when walking so i put on two pairs one over the other.

I know I'm late in answering this but this may help somebody else. The sizing is only "wrong" if you don't pull out the padding and adjust as per the instructions. You must pull out the padding and make snug around foot, then put foot with padding into the plastic boot. I am a size 7.5 and a small fits perfectly.

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.

I'm 5'11" and got the Large ones. They fit nicely, so I guess the Medium or Large would bee good for you. Depending on leg length and calf width I guess, since those factors would affect the way they fit a little bit. Medium perhaps would be an exact fit, large would give you a little more room.

Measure the smallest part of the ankle,widest part of the calf. Then from the heel to the knee bend.Your Regular if heel to knee is more than 15", less than 15" your shot. Then Ankle 7"- 8 1/4" and calf 11"-14" is small. Medium ankle is 8 3/8"-9 5/8" and calf 13 1/2" to 16". You are large if ankle is 9 3/4" to 11" and your calf is 15 1/2" to 18". X Large is ankle 11 1/8" to 12 3/8" with calf 17 1/2" to 20". 2XL 12 1/2" to13 3/4" ankle and 19 1/2" to 22" calf. Got it right from the box.

I actually looked at what the size was at my doctor's office...and they were using 3", so that is what I got. If it helps I can tell you my ankle is 9" around (now healed) and the largest part of my calf is almost 16" around, and there was still plenty of stretch left in the stockinette.

If you're concerned about the shoe size follow the chart. If you're concerned about getting the sock up to your knee then see my next statement.I'm male and my calves are 18"-18.5" just below the knee. The size Large are snug but they fit well and are comfortable.

Depends on how big your calves are more than your shoe size I wear size 10 to 11 shoes and my calves are not big and the ones I bought are tight on me so maybe you want L.

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

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
