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 wear an 8.5 or 39. I was given a small by my doctor's office. There is about 1/2 an inch from my toe to the end of the boot platform. They tried me in a medium first though. Besides length, you also have to account for the inner band size (under the 5 velcro straps) and your calf size. On the small I have, the inner band is very large and I have trouble overlapping it enough for a snug fit. I think a medium would have been impossible to do so on.

I went to the 2XU website and checked what their size grid looked like. It is a grid, based on size shoe and calf measurement.

my calf is 16 inches- maybe slightly larger. I just measured it but I'm not a professional calf measurer. anyhow, I have the large calf sleeve. it's perfect and I could, probably, have it still fit- very snuggly- at 16.5 to 17 inches.

That's the problem I had! The size is based on measuring around the knee. The website lists one sizing chart, but the packaging lists another. I measured 14 inches, bought a medium, and it was too small. Here's the website: https://www.kneesupport.com/mcdavid/. I think the issue was that i have muscular calves, so my proportions may be different than their "standard". My suggestion: buy a size larger than you think you need. Good Luck!

I wear men's size large. You can measure the length from the bottom of your foot to your knee and measure around your calf for sizing. I choose men's for a better fit for me, even though the foot is a little large for me.

Depends on how big your calves are more than your shoe size I wear size 10 to 11 shoes and my calves are not big and the ones I bought are tight on me so maybe you want L.

Hmm? I'm not sure. My calf is 15 my shoe is 12. But i don't know what size sock i bought. If you are using them for running I would go a little big. They are pretty tight. I do love them. good luck

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.

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.

Hello Lynn. I have a 12" calf. 5'2" I ordered a medium and they work fine for me, I must say the band is tight.

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.

I assume you meant 14 inches calfs? If it is correct then I suggest Size Medium.

I wear size 7.5 and a large fits my foot well but they are a little tight on my calf. The largest part of my calf is 14 inches. Hope that helps.

I would go with Large. I'm 5'2" with 15" calves and I got medium, and they weren't too tall or anything. I think the mediums would be a little too tight on 16" calves.

Foot size doesn't matter for sleeves. Order by calf size. If in doubt on size, go smaller.
