What about calf width? Are the M/L also for a wide calf?

I ordered the S/M and even with my large-ish calves they stretch comfortably without the pattern warping too much. Compression socks should constrict, so ordering too big wouldn't give you as much relief. I have three pairs of these and even after washing in cold water cycle - hang dry- they always come out right. Perfect amount of stretch/comfort, even around wide calves like mine.

I have a pretty slim/average calf (not skinny or muscular though) but I dont know diameter. They do not leave any marks or "too tight" lines on me.

Can't say for sure, I would say I am an average calf and it is comfortable but snug.

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.

i have a 17 inch calf and I bought the large which is fine, you might consider medium, not sure how sizes run.

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.

My calves are 15 in. and I have the small/medium....for you, I would suggest the medium/large.....

It calls for the Large/XLarge, but if you have a very thin calf, I would recommend you look into the Sockwell Men's Elevation Compression sock, they are 20-30mmHg in compression where the Circulator's are 15-20mmHg. Hope this helps.

The calf of your leg is the measurement that the stockings are ordered by. A medium stocking has a calf measurement of 15-16". Measure your calf in the evening when your leg is full and your stockings will not be tight . Good luck

I would look at the sizing chart. I believe it shows sizes in adult sizes though so keep that in mind when ordering. I'm in my late 20's and a medium for me fell below my calf. Something to consider. Best of luck, Kay Dubs!

I agree with Lynn B. A bit large in the foot length. I wear a 9 and the M are fine. Just be aware that if you have larger calves they can be tight.

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.

In my case, my doctor measured me and told me I needed large based on my calf measurement. However I don't think the answer is a simple one. Much like shoes, size or 'large' size probably varies depending on brand or specific sock. I don't know if there is a difference based on gender. Simple answer is try these url's for a quick answer. http://www.jobst-usa.com/wear-care/measuring.html http://www.zensah.com/size-chart/ female specific:http://www.brightlifedirect.com/gender-womens-brands-plus-sizes.asp I think the best answer is to check with your doctor if possible, especially if the prescription for the sock is for the medium to higher compression socks

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.

My foot is Medium but these are plenty wide for me even w/ socks, and the calf part is wide. I got a half size larger than I usually wear and put an insert in the boots.

I wouldn't say they run wide because I have a wide foot and these are still a little snug on my foot. But evidently I don't have a big calf because the sides slap my legs. So I would say that they run wide in the calf but not necessarily wide in the foot. I wear a 8 1/2 wide & ordered a 9 and they were still too small--especially they were not wide enough! I re-ordered a 10 and they fit but still a little snug.

No, it will too small in the calf area. I wear 8 and it did NOT FIT the calf. It was ok in width for the foot but very close for the foot length.

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.

I didn't see a size chart but my shoe size is 6 1/2 to 7. My calves are around 13 inches at their widest and the mediums fit me perfectly.

You're safe to follow the CEP sizing chart. If your husband's calf size is exactly between two sizes(15.25"... size III or size IV ???), personally I would go with the smaller size. Otherwise follow the chart and you'll be pleased.
