Can anyone tell me if the socks are stretchy for around the calf?

I purchased these for my son and he loves them. He says they fit well and are very comfortable. Yes, they are stretchy around the calf.

I feel like there wasn't a lot of stretch to them, and after washing they shrunk up terribly. You might be better off with a different sock

I am 5"8 and I ordered a medium. Someone in my class thought they were tight on her calves, but she has issues with nerves in her legs. If you have average sized calves and no sensitivities, they should be fine. Mine are very comfortable and don't move around.

I purchased these for my mother (size 9.5 womens) who has extremely swollen feet. These socks are thick and stretchy. Since you are in the middle of the two sizes, I think the question becomes what are your personal preferences in terms of how high you want the sock coming up your calves. If you want them on the lower side I would get the 8-11.

These are very stretchy and come up the leg about like a women's anklet sock - not quite to mid-calf. Its been over a year and a half since my husband passed, so I can't really remember how high they came on his leg, but they did not stop at the ankle.

Sorry, I don't know. My husband has slender calves and said they were tight enough to leave an imprint. I hope that helps!

These only help the boot to hold its shape to prevent unwanted creases in the leather. However, it does not stretch the calf wider. Hope this helps.

They stretch out more than regular socks, but I don't know what kind of material it is. I'm not diabetic, but just like loose socks, so they worked great for me. I ordered 5 pairs, but could use some more because I don't like to wear my other ones.

I would say yes. The foot area is cushioned but not so thick you can't get shoes on.and the calf part is thinner and nice and loose which I need with my diabetic swelling.

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 guess is, that this is a one size fits most. My calves are a little over 18" at the largest point and these fit just fine. Just a little more info. I really like the way they feel. May not need them as much since I learned my solius muscle was my problem and now I know how to stretch it separate from my gastrocnemius. They really keep your calves warm, they are really sweaty after a rigorous workout.

These socks are 20-30 mmHg and they only come up to mid calf on me. Sockwell also makes a knee hi with slightly less compression. I like both.

Hi, sorry I dont have the sock on me right now to check the tag. You should ask the seller. I can tell you that they feel like average quality socks. Meaning they are comfortable, but not plush. I hope that helps.

It should, I purchased them for my husband whose calves are around 20 or so inches. But make sure they are the real thing. My box was different than the box I purchased from the store and shipped from China which made me think it was a bit of a knock off. Also the sock was a bit thinner. This was not something I had ever considered. I now check the sellers location to ensure its reliable. Happy New Year!

I bought the large. I am NOT large but had some trouble previously with compression socks. The large digs in and leaves marks around the calf just below my knees. Almost like black and blue circle going around the calf. I suggest you try the large and see how they fit you. I need a larger sock but cannot seem to find any. Hope this helps.

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!

I had not thought of them as compression socks, but in a way they are a light compression because the upper sock retains its hug on your calf nicely, unlike some discount socks that stretch out quickly so you have to tug them up your leg and back in place after a while. The foot portion is not as 'huggy', but it holds its shape and position on your foot nicely. They are very comfortable!
