According to the sizing chart I am right at the cutoff for a med. I am 5'5" and weigh 160. But my legs are VERY thick. Should I go up to L?

Yes, I do believe I would order a large. I have small thighs (17.2") & calves (12"), and the medium was still very snug on my legs.

If your legs are truly quite thick, you may want to try the Large. I found that the fit on the medium was tight (as it should be) even on my small calves. If your calves are larger, they'd be uncomfortably restrictive.

No! Stick with the medium....I sm 5'6" 155 and thick legs....looking at tbe medium just out of the package, I thought No way!!! Glad I stuck with the mediums - they are perfect!!!

I would definitely say yes, maybe even an XL. These run VERY tight. One of the sales ladies at a local specialty running store calls them her "sausage tights". I'm 5'8 about 170 and went up to a L myself. Hope this helps!

I am 5'4" and weighed 150 lbs. when I bought the medium. It was very snug. The top got looser when I lost weight so I just used the drawstring. If your legs are very thick, I would go with the large.

I would go medium. I'm 5'7", and 148-152, with a big butt. You can always return if wrong?

I believe the size chart runs small. I think it also depends on your height. I'm 5'11", 180 lbs., thigh is 20" and I went with a large and glad I did. Extremely snug, doesn't move at all when I run, and covers essentially my whole thigh. A small would definitely be to small for you. I'd recommend the large.

i'm 5'5 145 lbs. I bought the regular size. They fit fine, but a little tight. Definitely would buy the large size if I were you.

By using the chart that was provided I ordered a XL. I then received a e-mail from the seller asking my weight and height. I responded with "My height is 5ft 11.5 inches weight 175 lbs". They sent this back to me the next morning. "Thanks for your quick respond,we do think size XL will be a little short for you,size XXL will be ok". They were correct the pants fit perfect. So I would go one size larger than what the chart reccomends.

To determine my size (LG/XL) I assumed this type of support would be tight to provide proper support. I weigh 122 pounds - 5 feet 3 inches tall - so my legs are not very fat nor wide. This size is just right for me, more snug than loose. If you are close to my height/weight you might consider getting LG/XL. Anything smaller will be too tight for you. My circumference measurements around my leg are: 13 inches below the knee joint where the calf begins; 14.5 inches around the knee joint at the widest part; 15 inches above the knee joint where the thigh begins. Measurements taken standing up. If you measure much smaller or larger than me you need a different size from LG/XL.

I'm 5'4" @160. Wear the medium. But still have trouble keeping the knee area actually over my knees as they tend to want to slide down... But small would be far to snug for me.

Linda, I found the chart to be accurate. I'm 5'9" and 195 and got the XL (largest size). I agree that large doesn't sound right to me, for you. Did you use a flexible measuring tape to measure your calf circumference? A piece of string will work.

Probably not. I am 5'10" 160lbs and I barely fit. I would go with the next size up.

if you're between 180-200 lbs, i'd go with the large. thats the size i ordered. it's a little long in the leg, but it works!!!. I'm 5ft even. I'm pregnant so I have to put it on raincheck for now...lol...good luck hun!!!

I am 5'4'' I got a large but the stocking bunches. It seems as if the stocking is too long for my legs. Where it bunches it cut off circulation. Thinks I will try a medium.

Hello, The sizing is determined off of your leg measurements. You will need to take those measurements and compare them to the products sizing chart found here: http://www.foryourlegs.com/skin1/images/TCM203040CHART.JPG

I think you will find the XXL a better fit than XL. I am the same as you and found the XL too small, especially in body length, leg length was fine. Do upload your experience to let me know which size you found comfortable.

There is a sizing chart. My first one was full leg, I got the short leg the second time.

Well I'm 5'8 200lbs size 10 ,36 waist so I got a med and they fit good not real tight or loose..I would go with medium.

Get the M. I'm 5'10" and bought the L. I love them! It will be snug but thats the point of compression support. Good luck!

I just measured my arm and I came in at 12 inches. I originally bought a L/XL (in store, its the only size they had). It actually did fit, but I found it a little loose. I then ordered the MED on Amazon and it fit perfect. Your arm is a 5.5 inches bigger than mine, so in my opinion you should go with the XXL, the L/XL might fit, but there is a chance it would be too snug.

I am 5'10'' 160 and med is a little big on me... you might wanna try small.
