My shoe size is 7.5, but my calf is 17.25" ... what size do I select?

I would definitely go with a large especially if you are new to compression socks. A medium will be uncomfortably tight around your calf and may actually constrict rather than compress.

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.

The salesman in the store went by my calf size and I got a perfect fit. I believe there is a size chart on the box that goes by calf size.

I'm tall, so I ordered Long which I believe was 17". They are sold in short, medium and long so it is best to measure your leg from ankle to just under your knee and measure the circumference of your calf in the thickest place. That way, the stockings will fit you like they were made for you.

All I can say is that my calves measure 17.5 inches around and the XL fits me snugly but, I think, just right. The material is VERY stretchy and they are well made. I think you want a snug fit for these.

I suggest going to the Sigvaris site @ http://www.sigvarisusa.com/ where you'll find details on the measurements you'll need to properly size the performance calf sleeve.

If you're concerned about the shoe size follow the chart. If you're concerned about getting the sock up to your knee then see my next statement.I'm male and my calves are 18"-18.5" just below the knee. The size Large are snug but they fit well and are comfortable.

My calf measures 14"; I got the Large size. They fit VERY snuggly. The Medium would have been too small.As I noted in my review, I'm 5' 4"; the sleeves came down to the arch of my foot, which was OK. Actually felt good.

When I contacted a representative from the company, she explained to me that if your calf is 16" or larger, you will want to get the XL Gravity Boots. Unfortunately, she wasn't so sure on any ankle measurements though. I hope that helps.

I'm male and a bit over 6 feet tall with 13 3/4 in calves. The medium calf compression sleeves are ideal in length but a tad loose fitting. Since you're a foot shorter than I, I suspect that medium will be too long.

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

Hi Shannon, my size comparison is based solely on my calf size. Maybe this will give you an idea of what size to get. The widest area around my calf measures 13.5 inches. The small size fit perfectly. I had to put some effort into pulling it on...but it was tight fitting and stopped the pain when I ran. Hope this helps

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 14.5 and I got the large and they fit me. I'm not sure how big the x-large get, but you may be right.

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.

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.

Actually CB I believe the XL start at 14.5 and go over 16+ which I assume 17 should be covered. I got the L which cover up 14.5 but I like it to fit tight on my calves and it gvs just right up to 15" . Hope that helps.Good luck

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.

There is a YouTube video that rev gear made about how to measure and properly size yourself. If you go to their site it's on there as well. You'll probably need to go with the xL based on height, but calf length and muscle mass are going to make a difference.
