What size would I order if my calfs are 16.5 inches at the largest point? What is the compression ratio I'm looking for 30-40mmHg.

1. Go to the Zensah website for sizing info. 2. These don't really provide 30-40 compression. At most they are 20-30. But you could try a smaller size for more compression. However, you risk not being able to get them on.

to find out what size to order, find out the size of your leg. if you look at the size chart on the box, there is a spot on amazon to see the size list under the product pic, it will tell u what size u need by the inches of your calf. As far as the compression goes I go with the firmest because the mediums slip down my leg and compress where it settles instead of the whole calf area. Hope this answers your question.

My calf measures 42 1/2cm. I like the Jobst Stocking Donner because the stocking are easy to put on. It may seem hard to pull the stocking over the area for the stocking but try and it will be great. Make sure that you follow the directions on how far to pull the stocking over the area. Also a hint, wear Jobst gloves . This will help you pull and fit the stocking as well as having less chance of poking you finger through them.

I ordered the Medium, and my calf is 14cm diameter, there would be some room for stretch, but not too much.

I Wear size 15b shoe, and that corresponds to the XL size. The 20/30 is the compression, and that depends on your circulation. You could go to a Medical Supply store and buy one pair and have them determine the size.

The answer is no. Please read below: 1- To find your size, first measure around the calf (widest part of lower leg) and also around the ankles. Go to the size chart on the product page and based on the mesurements taken youll find your size. 2- The support is determined by severity of swelling/edema. Mild swelling will do with a 15-20, I wear 20-30 Large with a calf 16.5" when swollen. 3- Any compression over 20-30 is best determined by a doctor as it may cause unwanted side effects or dangerous over compression if not needed. 4- If your problem is lymphatic drainage, there re ways to manually massage for relief and these stocking compliment/work like magic. Always best to check with a doctor first.

Hello. I wear a size 7.5 with an average calf size. I bought the Med/Large. As the previous reviewer said, they are snug so the added size will be a plus. They work wonderfully and I will be using them again this week, when traveling.

That's correct the top of calf. Order one size smaller than the measurement says to. They don't sell by the pair either so order 2

I would look at the sizing chart. I believe it shows sizes in adult sizes though so keep that in mind when ordering. I'm in my late 20's and a medium for me fell below my calf. Something to consider. Best of luck, Kay Dubs!

I am plus size. My calf is 16 1/2". I wear a women's Medium. Socks are tight but not too tight. Had my doctor check them. They definitely keep the swelling away. If you live in a hot summer climate you might prefer the open toe stockings. I love these stockings. They work better than the brands hospitals use.

I'm tall, so I ordered Long which I believe was 17". They are sold in short, medium and long so it is best to measure your leg from ankle to just under your knee and measure the circumference of your calf in the thickest place. That way, the stockings will fit you like they were made for you.

I think if you bought the extra large, you should be just fine. I ended up going from an extra large down to a large because the extra large on my 15 inch calves just felt like a sock not a compression sleeve. I think I read under one of the reviews was a person with 18 inch calves and he bought the extra large and he had no problems

I received the M/L and wear a size 10 in a shoe. The heel part seemed to big for my feet. If u r a size 8 I would go with the smaller option. As far as the medium calf thing goes my athletic calf's couldn't handle it. Some of there products seem to be targeted for average legs. If it has a design be careful because it will leave marks up and down the leg. You could try the M/L to be safe and just return if they do not work.

large is perfect unless you have freakishly large calves. Also, buy 2 pair only because the quality is so good, best I've seen. The cheapo focus mitts revgear puts out is really nice aswell

Linda, I found the chart to be accurate. I'm 5'9" and 195 and got the XL (largest size). I agree that large doesn't sound right to me, for you. Did you use a flexible measuring tape to measure your calf circumference? A piece of string will work.

I have 21" calfs and use the Extra large with no problems at all. I can wear them all day with no issues.

They might be better, but I ordered the large, I have 15-15 1/2 inch calves and they are so hard to put on that there is no way I would use them, sent them back, and reorded the regular Zensah sleeves. They give great compression and are not nearly as hard to put on
