If my calves are 15 inches, should I get the small or the medium size? The chart says either will work, but what's the better choice?

Hello, I think it depends on how much pressure you want. Obviously the small is going to fit tighter and if you are looking for stronger compression that might serve you better. I personally would choose the small, because the whole point is compression and they do stretch out after awhile so tighter in the beginning isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I guess it depends on your comfort. I was in between and ordered one of each. The smalls are good while I'm playing soccer, but the mediums are really comfy to wear through the day without feeling overly constricted.

Small or medium depending on the size of your calf. The height goes to just below the knee.

I have a small for my 15 lb Bichon with shorter legs. Call the manufacturer or the place that is selling this product. or Try the medium size. Maybe they have these at your local store to go try them on.

I had the same problem with my dog and I went with the medium. No problems so far and the straps are generous so if you're an inch off either way it wouldn't be a big deal.

Hi Mary - I wear a size 7 and use the small. I think probably the medium would be better. Good luck! It worked like a charm for me.

Definitely the small/medium size unless you are putting them over very bulky boots. The large ones fit my size 11 heavy boots well but would fall off of a size 8 shoe.

In my opinion you would require a large. My calves are small but I need a medium . A small was uncomfortable .

I think the large would work for you. My husband is 15" knees, 16" thigh and calves and works well for him. Hope this helps you. "

You should probably go with medium. However, I would expect the legs on either size to be long.

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

I'm 5'5" tall but my calves measure 14.75" around. What size should I order. The small I'm guessing would be too tight and the med-large would be too long.

i would go with the small I weigh 122 lbs and bought the medium and they fitted perfectly!!

Just use the size chart on the back of the box shown in the product images. It's based on your leg measurements, not shoe size. I wear a size 9 women's shoe and have narrow feet, and I wear the same size as the person who posted about wearing a 15b shoe because I have large calves.

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 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 would say either the L or XL. Obviously the L will have more compression on a 19" calf but the XL may not have enough compression for you.
