Can anyone tell me if the socks are stretchy for around the calf?

I purchased these for my son and he loves them. He says they fit well and are very comfortable. Yes, they are stretchy around the calf.

Hi Karen, I went to the store and bought the first pair. They measured my legs and gave me one of about 5 sizes that these come in. I then went to amazon and bought two pair at almost half the price that I paid at the store. I have found these stockings to be comfortable and have noted that they do not roll down or crease much if at all. I think if you follow the sizing chart correctly you should be happy with them. I cannot say that my calves are unduly large, but I started wearing these after vericose vein surgery last year, I am still wearing them. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of any other help.

These are very stretchy and come up the leg about like a women's anklet sock - not quite to mid-calf. Its been over a year and a half since my husband passed, so I can't really remember how high they came on his leg, but they did not stop at the ankle.

No, they are not, but my husband and I both like them because they are comfortable, they stay up and they do not pinch or squeeze the leg area because of the elastic. These socks have held up well. They won't last for ever, but we like them so much we have gone back and purchased them several times. We ordered the larger size and it works for both of us. We are so glad that we found them. We did not want anything heavily cushioned. Good luck with your decision.

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.

I have pretty large calves and wear the IV size...they are going to and are supposed to be very snug fitting. I wear them for a couple days in a row so as to not wear out the tightness. I own 3 pair and wear them daily to my CrossFit workouts; wouldn't go without!

Yes, they're stretchy and form fitting. I bought the adult sized socks and if your little one(s) are little sized, you probably want to go with a smaller size.

There is no label inside the socks that indicates the fabric. To me, it feels like a cotton-polyester blend knit. They stretch, and, in my experience, 100% cotton does not stretch.

Hi, sorry I dont have the sock on me right now to check the tag. You should ask the seller. I can tell you that they feel like average quality socks. Meaning they are comfortable, but not plush. I hope that helps.

These socks come right up to under my kneecap where it is more "bony" than when on the calf. There is just a very slight compression to keep the sock up and from rolling down. Have now bought several pairs as they are most comfortable around and don't bind and compress on the ankle or calf.

They are not tight by any means, nor do they ride down into my shoes.They are very comfortable. However, I would guess that if most socks are tight for you, these will be as well.

I purchased these for my mother (size 9.5 womens) who has extremely swollen feet. These socks are thick and stretchy. Since you are in the middle of the two sizes, I think the question becomes what are your personal preferences in terms of how high you want the sock coming up your calves. If you want them on the lower side I would get the 8-11.

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.

They do stretch pretty good, you would probably be o.k. with the 8-11 size, unless there is a tendency for the persons legs to swell up..

These socks are extra stretchy. I wear a size 9.5 shoe and bought the large sock. I have plenty of room to go. After standing on my feet for a 12 hour shift, my ankles have a tendency to swell, and I still have plenty of room in them!

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 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.
