IWhat about those people who have swollen ankles? Are they wide enough in a large or extra large so they won't bind?

These socks are extra stretchy. I wear a size 9.5 shoe and bought the large sock. I have plenty of room to go. After standing on my feet for a 12 hour shift, my ankles have a tendency to swell, and I still have plenty of room in them!

They are not tight by any means, nor do they ride down into my shoes.They are very comfortable. However, I would guess that if most socks are tight for you, these will be as well.

They are pretty stretchy and still super soft so I think they'd be worth a try!

I would guess they would be wide enough as the fabric is quite stretchy. They are not a tight fitting sock.

My ankle is kind of small - it fit pretty good. The velcro has a good hold. It didn't feel flimsy or anything. I don't know how big your ankle is but the ankle wrap itself is pretty big.

Definitely Large - even extra large if they have. They are quite tight putting on.

I would say so, my ankles are pretty small but there is more than enough room for someone with a larger ankle.

My ankles with socks are 10.5 inches. They fit, but there is only about 1/2 to 3/4 inches of Velcro holding them on. They hold fine. I think a 10.5 inch ankle is the maximum these will fit.

If they're too tight they might roll down. Very uncomfortable. I would go med rather than small.

I think the ankle support would help your ankles.It is a soft support, but if your ankles swell too much it would certainly bind. Hope this helps.

Hi, I wear the same size as my shoes, even if it might be ABIT big, the ankle will be held by the hi-tops so it would still hold the feet.....

I wear a size 8 and the large worked fine for me. I wouldn't go to an extra large; it might be too big. BTW - This is a very good brace which holds the ankle front and back and side to side. The only minor irritation I found with it is I have to loosen the laces all the way to the bottom to slide my foot into into it. But once the foot is in, velcro the sides, tie up the laces and criss cross the velcro on the front and your ankle is secure and supported.

You should feel them, but they should not feel tight and uncomfortable. Snug would be about right. I agree with other answers. Control of swelling is a good sign.

I used to wear 8 extra extra wide, perhaps the same as 4E. I bought the narrower of the two sizes which were offered some years ago. I would put them on at night to hold down swelling that occurred during the day. They were fine for a few hours but I would need to pull them off before morning. More recently, I bought just one for the foot that still swells. I bought it in the larger size; it was too loose to help.

You don't "feel" them exactly - if they fit right you forget they are on. What you should notice is that your swelling is under control at the end of the day and/or your legs do not ache. HTH! As far as sizing, they sizing charts they provide seem correct to me.

I find the anke holders surprisingly comfortable...as long as I'm wearing shoes. I've tried it without shoes and it placed too much pressure on my ankles feet. I use my running shoes and they absorb most of the pressure. The ankle braces have a quick release that will snap into place when most snug against your ankles...but it's not so snug that it cuts off circulation or anything.

They will probably slip off your wrists with active exercise. Ankles would probably work better.

Medium works for me. These stockings really prevent swelling of the ankles.

Anna: My husband has a size 10.5 foot. The XL is plenty big enough for him with a little extra room to spare. I tried it on too - I'm a women's size 7 and although it covered my whole foot the velcro straps (one about 3" thick and the other about 1.5" thick) are so adjustable that I was easily able to pull it shut tight enough to work on my foot too. I'd recommend getting the XL and just pulling the straps closed as necessary if your husband's foot is smaller than a 10. It really is a great product and is helping my husband's bad ankle a lot more than we expected. Lisa

If it isn't as snug as you'd like it to be, you can pick up a simple ACE (or whatever brand it is) bandage wrap from the dollar store and wrap your foot for compression and to give it a bit more bulk before putting it into the ACE Deluxe Ankle Stabilizer for added support and stability. That way it probably will fit just fine, quite snugly. Hope that's helpful.
