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.

There is no label inside the socks that indicates the fabric. To me, it feels like a cotton-polyester blend knit. They stretch, and, in my experience, 100% cotton does not stretch.

I would say no. I am on my feet all day and I wear support stockings with a short pair of crew socks over them and that solves the problem. By the way, when I bought Miracle socks on amazon, they were not near as tall on the calf as the ones I got from Walmart. I don't know why that is, but they were and I couldn't use them.

These socks are basically regular, stretchy socks with the cuff ending up slightly above the ankle. They are NOT as plush as women's spa socks. Hope this helps.

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

the real issue is the circumference of your calf. mine is 18" and i need a large. i wear a size 10 shoe and the foot of the sock is more than big enough.the chart on the box says up to 14" calf-small 15 &16" calf medium, 17&18" large, &gt;18 XL i would recomend you get the firm as they will of course get weaker as you wear them. they last me about 2 months. best regards

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.

They are approximately 12 and 3/4 inches however they stretch. I also have very large calfs so I made sure to order the correct size. I hope this helps!

they are very wide on the calf. they flop a lot - make sure you wear socks with them for best comfort.

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

No, they are not, but my husband and I both like them because they are comfortable, they stay up and they do not pinch or squeeze the leg area because of the elastic. These socks have held up well. They won't last for ever, but we like them so much we have gone back and purchased them several times. We ordered the larger size and it works for both of us. We are so glad that we found them. We did not want anything heavily cushioned. Good luck with your decision.

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!

Yes, they do stretch a little especially in hotter weather. Try wearing thick socks to speed it up a little.

They stretch a great deal. I would suggest getting one pair and try them first. Hope it works out for you. They are nice.

Go to skins.net, choose a pair of compression socks then hit "size guide". It's by calf size. The socks are amazing, I have five pairs (and no relation to the company).

I don't know if they give the measurement around calves but my husband are real big. Around calves would matter

They are not over the calf. they are more just above the ankle. My husband likes them and they don't cause indentations... see other comment also
