Do you think these would fit around a large calf or are they made for skinny calves?

If you are afraid they will be snug, order mens. I have the medium/large for woman, and I wear a size 10 shoe and I am not a small woman. But I also have 2 pairs that I bought in mens just for the grey color, and they fit fine too.

My calves are pretty big (19 1/2 in) and these fit great. They are tight enough to stay up all day (12 hr shifts) but have never been too tight or dug in to my legs.

How big are your calves? I have large legs and the large size fit very well. I am 6'1 210lbs

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.

Hi Pam, sorry, I don't know if they do or not. I experienced calf muscle cramps while wearing them. They just were not for me.

I wouldn't say they run wide because I have a wide foot and these are still a little snug on my foot. But evidently I don't have a big calf because the sides slap my legs. So I would say that they run wide in the calf but not necessarily wide in the foot. I wear a 8 1/2 wide & ordered a 9 and they were still too small--especially they were not wide enough! I re-ordered a 10 and they fit but still a little snug.

My calf size is 16.5 and the socks fit perfectly. I can insert the shinguards without a problem (this are ~ 3/4 thick shinguards). I hope this answers your concern.

True. I am a slender 6'2. The large size that I order is loose around the calf. However, there is a cinching mechanism at the top that keeps this in place. Plus, the material is rigid enough that it doesn't roll down.

In my opinion you would require a large. My calves are small but I need a medium . A small was uncomfortable .

I have large feet and legs. Like I can't wear tall boots because my calves are so large. The large fits me TIGHT. I use them like an ace bandage on my bum ankle and on air planes to combat swelling. They are incredible. The open toe makers it easy to get them on.

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 have worn it above lace up tactical boots that go about two inchs above the ankle with no problem. If the boot tops went much higher than that I don't think they would reach around the calf.

I bought these for my teenage son who doesn't have large calves per say, but I did check socks to answer your question, and they are quite stretchy. So I would think that they would work for you.

Hi amazongirl! I have 15" calves and ordered the medium. They are tight but not too tight.

I have smaller calves, 14", but there feels like there would be some room to expand. They'd be a tight fit, though.

My calves are 7 1/2 inches in circumference and the XL fits me perfectly. The elastic is very stretchy so there's a wide range it can fit. I would go by measuring around the widest part of the calf and try to calculate from there!

I suspect they may be a little large for womens' thin legs. They work so well, however, that it would be worth ordering a set to try them. Make sure Amazon will refund your money if you have to send them back. Check on return delivery costs to make sure they won't hang a big return cost on you.
