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.

Definitely Large - even extra large if they have. They are quite tight putting on.

I wear size 11w and have wide calves. I wear the extra-large and they fit well. They are supposed to fit somewhat tight - that's what provides the support. From my experience, they aren't anywhere near as difficult to pull on as support nylons.

Hi, I wear an 8.5 shoe. My calves are med or slightly larger. I ordered the med/large and they were fine.

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!

I would say that a person should definitely use 1 size larger sock is if they are towards the high end normally.The best advice I can give you is to buy socks in both sizes, normal and 1-size up.Don't buy many socks, maybe 2 pair of each size.Try both sizes, and make your normal purchase of the size you prefer.

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.

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

Depending on shoe brand, I wear a 9 or a 10; for example, for running shoes, I wear Saucony Kinvaras in size 10. The size large in these socks is a little loose on me, but it fits without issue. I haven't tried a medium, so I cannot tell you if that would be too small or not.

Hmm? I'm not sure. My calf is 15 my shoe is 12. But i don't know what size sock i bought. If you are using them for running I would go a little big. They are pretty tight. I do love them. good luck

I am 5' 9" and I wear LARGE FIRM Futuro restoring socks and they go well above the knee. I fold the top down about 1 1/2 inches like Austin mentioned. Maybe I should get Medium size, but my doctor recommended Large for my calves (which I think are average). They're comfortable, I am afraid medium might be too tight.

Here are the measurements: Size Calf Circumference Small 9.5-12.5 in Medium 12.5-15.5 in Large 15.5-18 in X-Large 18-20 in Hope this helps!

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!

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.

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

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 wear a 9 - 9 1/2 depending on type of shoe, and I went with a Medium. It IS snug.. but it's supposed to be. I also wear this sleeve over another pair of socks and it doesn't cut off circulation or anything.

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.

I received the M/L and wear a size 10 in a shoe. The heel part seemed to big for my feet. If u r a size 8 I would go with the smaller option. As far as the medium calf thing goes my athletic calf's couldn't handle it. Some of there products seem to be targeted for average legs. If it has a design be careful because it will leave marks up and down the leg. You could try the M/L to be safe and just return if they do not 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.
