Your better option would be for soccer socks or larger tube socks. They stretch okay but fit more slim and are thicker than regular socks.

They stretch pretty well, but are hard to wear because of all of the threads on the reverse side. You are welcome to buy mine from me as only worn about twice.

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

Should not be a problem. They are made with cycling in mind, so the legs are form fitting and the ankle opening is narrower. The best way to describe the fit is like a pair of skinny jeans as opposed to straight-leg jeans; they get narrower down by the ankles. I lift weights and have relatively muscular legs for my height. I have no problem with the fit around my calves. I have these pants in a large, have 15.5" calves, and these fit great.

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.

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 super stretchy, so probably so. They fit me, a slim woman, and my son, a muscular young man

No, actually they fit me really well after a few minutes of wear. They're made of a good quality material that has a nice bit of give to it, so even if they are a little snug at first, the fit will stretch to accommodate pretty quickly!

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.

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.

No, they do not stretch. They tend to run a bit small. I wear a size 7 1/2 and the 8 fits me perfectly. They also tend to be wide. As I have a bunion, I wear mine more than any other footwear. These boots are more like a gum-rubber and have a lot of *give*. The colors have faded on the ones I have had for 3 years but I love them. Very good grip on wet surface and grass.

You have my problem Ben. When I said they fit as expected, they do, for a while. Stretch way to much, for me, they don't go high on ankle. Avoid these. Go with Hanes, They have a size 13/15. I think when they say large means they fit my Grandson. As I'm sure you know, any sock of this type, large don't cut it.

I take a size 11 (men's) shoe. So I always try to get an extra-large size in these slip resistant socks, at least. I've found that socks like these which may be issued to an in-hospital patient, have always been too small. The socks will stretch somewhat, but, I feel that it's better to have a large size that you don't have to stretch to make fit. The color doesn't matter to me.

Yes, I have the same size calves and got a medium in both black and pink. They fit like a glove and are AMAZING!! I absolutely love these and would recommend to both guys and girls. They are not only very comfortable but they also hold up well for all of my workouts (gym, hiking, trail/street running and even did well when I got them wet in a waterfall). Highly recommend.

They stretch so I thing they are gook for both sexes. I would stick with small or medium for females.

They stretch a lot. The only thing you could do is get a pair and see how it goes or see if there is an address to write to and ask. Good Luck Toni

I don't know for sure but i have big calves and they fit me . Which is usually a problem for me.

They're very flexible. I think they might work well for you because I just get a gentle stretch - I wish they were bigger or firmer so I'd get a better stretch but they're fine.

They are pretty stretchy. So going with your normal size will probably work just fine.
