My calves are kind of big. I measure between 20-22 inches depending on the day. Will these fit my calf?

They would he a tight squeeze, but my calves are quite wide as well, about 18 inches and they fit me just fine.

That I don't know altho they do stretch. I love these sox and really give me comfort.

I'm not certain how big my calves are, but about half the boots that I try on are too tight around my calf (probably a sign they are a bit larger). These socks are obviously going to be tight and can be tough to get on, but I am able to wear them and they not feel too tight.

I don't think so. My wife's calves are in the 16" range and they are pretty darn tight.

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, >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 don't know how far they stretch, but my calf is 14" and the hose would fit larger than that. They have a full toe and a good length for a knee high, so that would help. I really like mine.

I am plus size. My calf is 16 1/2". I wear a women's Medium. Socks are tight but not too tight. Had my doctor check them. They definitely keep the swelling away. If you live in a hot summer climate you might prefer the open toe stockings. I love these stockings. They work better than the brands hospitals use.

My calves are pretty big (19 1/2 in) and these fit great. They are tight enough to stay up all day (12 hr shifts) but have never been too tight or dug in to my legs.

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!

You don't "feel" them exactly - if they fit right you forget they are on. What you should notice is that your swelling is under control at the end of the day and/or your legs do not ache. HTH! As far as sizing, they sizing charts they provide seem correct to me.

Measure around the largest part of your calf,Regular is 13"-15"Large is 15"-16"If you get less than 13 go for small

They tend to fit me more up under the knee, and not around the widest part of my calf. I'm 6ft tall, and never had an issue with them feeling too tight wearing them all day (in and out of snow) while working. Don't even remember any red elastic type marks on skin common to tight socks.

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 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 ordered the Medium, and my calf is 14cm diameter, there would be some room for stretch, but not too much.

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

Yes - I have both wide feet and wide calves and these fit great. I have short legs, though, so the extra width of the stocking may take us some of the length, I can't say.

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.

I don't know the diameter of my knees, but I'm pretty big ( 6'6 240 lbs ) and they fit well. The straps are adjustable. I have mine fairly tight and there's probably four or five extra inches of strap, so I imagine they would fit just about anyone.

Depends on size of calf, I have large biceps, 13" and there is still room to make them bigger and obviously smaller, hope that helps.
