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.

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

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.

Yes, I would say that is about correct. But it might depend a bit on the diameter of a persons calf. They are an excellent value.

Yes they do. I have large calves and have no problem wearing them. I prefer the Travelsox brand to others I have tried.

I would say No. They are perfect for gardening and a spring rain but they do not go up past your calf- so depending on how deep is deep - I would go for a pair that were a bit taller and closer to your knees. They are definitely not riding boots.

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 feel like the size of your foot has less to do with the fit than size of your ankle. I have very slender ankles and these fit snuggly with a sock underneath. I'm not sure I'd recommend them if you're on your feet as often, or for as long, as mail carriers are.

They are indeed tight, and narrow, but not over the calf. They are lower than that.

They might be pretty tight cus they are form fitted to your feet and if u get a larger size for that the calf might be too lose then

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

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.

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 do not have large calves. However they do stretch and are tough to get on but any GREAT stocking will be. Hope this helped ya out!

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 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.
