how to measure calf size?

Not sure. I have bought sleeves before so I had an estimate of my size. The only thing I would say is they stretch pretty easily so I would go smaller rather then larger.

I have the same problem but they ask for the calf size and mine fit great. I will admit I fell right between two sizes and took the larger. Here is a link for the sizing chart. http://www.foryourlegs.com/skin1/images/medicalfchart.gif

I just paid $26.49 for these at a local pharmacy and I LOVE THEM! Here's the sizing chart if you haven't already purchased yours: Small: ankle 7"-8.25", calf 11"-14", medium: ankle 8 3/8"-9 5/8", calf 13.5"-16", Large: ankle 9.75"-11", calf 15.5"-18", X-Large 11 1/8"-12 3/8", calf 17.5"-20", 2X-Large: ankle 12.5"-13.25", calf 19.5"-22", 3X-Large: 12.5"-13.75", calf 21.5"-24". Length to Knee: Going from bottom of heel to the dip behind and below the knee, Regular is greater than 15", Short is 15: or less. For 2X and 3X the lengths are up to 18". It also says that men should choose an open toe style if your shoe size exceeds the following: Small: Shoe size 7, Medium: Shoe size 9.5, Large: Shoe size 11.5, X-Large: Shoe size 12.5, 2X-Large, Shoe size 12.5, 3X-Large, Shoe size 12.5.

Measure around the knee in the standing position. Size charts are included by some of the suppliers and I also found one in the reviews. If still unable to find one, google them and find the size on another site. They are worth the extra time. I have them in several sizes and use as both knee support and calf support. They wash well and last a very long time even with daily use.

Karen, check out the mediven website. You have to measure yourself and then get the appropriate size. I have large calves and wasn't aware that these were even an option until I'd been wearing the regular ones for months and I decided to investigate. The wide calf option makes a huge difference when you measure properly. Good luck!

I would try the medium first. I purchased for a friend who was about your height and the large was too big. Your calf size may make a difference. I am 5'7 and will be purchasing medium for myself.

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.

About 15 inches, but the real question is how big your calfs are. my wife is 180 lbs, she fits, I'm a180, with lots of calf muscles from 42 years TKD, I fit.

The circumference at the calf of the boot is about 16 1/4". I then measured my own calf and that was about 14 1/4". My calf looks smaller than the two inch difference,but that's what the measuring tape read. Hope this helps.

I have a pretty slim/average calf (not skinny or muscular though) but I dont know diameter. They do not leave any marks or "too tight" lines on me.

Run a search for Pro-Tec Knee Strap on line, like Google. It will tell you to measure around your knee, under the knee cap. The instructions will tell you what size to order per your measurement.

I suggest going to the Sigvaris site @ http://www.sigvarisusa.com/ where you'll find details on the measurements you'll need to properly size the performance calf sleeve.

When I contacted a representative from the company, she explained to me that if your calf is 16" or larger, you will want to get the XL Gravity Boots. Unfortunately, she wasn't so sure on any ankle measurements though. I hope that helps.

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.

The length is approximately the dame from small to large to accommodate a variety of calf lengths. However, the calf size in width/circumference is what is important. You don't want it excessively tight. Measure carefully. I found this product runs a little smaller/tighter than other brands.

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.
