If my calves are 15 inches, should I get the small or the medium size? The chart says either will work, but what's the better choice?

Hello, I think it depends on how much pressure you want. Obviously the small is going to fit tighter and if you are looking for stronger compression that might serve you better. I personally would choose the small, because the whole point is compression and they do stretch out after awhile so tighter in the beginning isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I guess it depends on your comfort. I was in between and ordered one of each. The smalls are good while I'm playing soccer, but the mediums are really comfy to wear through the day without feeling overly constricted.

Foot size doesn't matter for sleeves. Order by calf size. If in doubt on size, go smaller.

As the others have said, you need a pair larger than what this product offers. My calves are 16", I ordered the medium/large size and they are just the right size. Any larger calves and they would be to tight. Good luck!

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

If your legs are truly quite thick, you may want to try the Large. I found that the fit on the medium was tight (as it should be) even on my small calves. If your calves are larger, they'd be uncomfortably restrictive.

I would probably go with the medium size, rather it be a little big than too small plus you can adjust it. Hope this helps.

The think the size is determined by the size of your leg, not your shoe. Medium should work

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.

I wear a medium and wear a women's size 7. It has more to do with your calf size than foot size.

That's the problem I had! The size is based on measuring around the knee. The website lists one sizing chart, but the packaging lists another. I measured 14 inches, bought a medium, and it was too small. Here's the website: https://www.kneesupport.com/mcdavid/. I think the issue was that i have muscular calves, so my proportions may be different than their "standard". My suggestion: buy a size larger than you think you need. Good Luck!

I bought medium and my calves are not very big and they are pretty snug. Left impression on my legs from tightness. You may want to go with Large. I wear size 10 shoe as well.

I would go with Large. I'm 5'2" with 15" calves and I got medium, and they weren't too tall or anything. I think the mediums would be a little too tight on 16" calves.

I would get the smaller..I had the same dilemma and opted for the larger- had to cut it down a lot! CB

I purchased the sock size that fit my shoe size (which was a medium). I have a 15 inch calf and the socks fit quite comfortably. I have problems with fitting socks over my calves. Not so with these.

I got the XL for a 17 inch calf and it feels great. I would go by that measurement to decide.

My calves are 14.5 and I got the large and they fit me. I'm not sure how big the x-large get, but you may be right.

I went with medium because it was the size I was using for the Asics gel knee pads--which I initially tried on in a store. I'm a fit 175-180, 6' tall--medium fits snug but comfortably. They are great knee pads; really comfortable, durable, and protect very well. Good luck.
