IWhat about those people who have swollen ankles? Are they wide enough in a large or extra large so they won't bind?

These socks are extra stretchy. I wear a size 9.5 shoe and bought the large sock. I have plenty of room to go. After standing on my feet for a 12 hour shift, my ankles have a tendency to swell, and I still have plenty of room in them!

They are not tight by any means, nor do they ride down into my shoes.They are very comfortable. However, I would guess that if most socks are tight for you, these will be as well.

They are pretty stretchy and still super soft so I think they'd be worth a try!

I would guess they would be wide enough as the fabric is quite stretchy. They are not a tight fitting sock.

Yes, the strap on these is very long and I can actually fit them around my thighs so your ankles should be no problem at all.

I'm not certain how big my calves are, but about half the boots that I try on are too tight around my calf (probably a sign they are a bit larger). These socks are obviously going to be tight and can be tough to get on, but I am able to wear them and they not feel too tight.

The additional cost might have to do with the ankle size if the ankle on an otherwise small/medium sized person is swollen. I am only guessing. However, ask the manufacturer.

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.

The wrap opens up and can be worn in either direction depending upon how much of your foot you want covered. I wear wide shoes and my broken ankle was horribly swollen. The wrap was completely adjustable with the velcro strap. I highly recommend it!

They may be a bit large for that shoe size. When we ran out all but the large size at the hospital, I folded over the toe or the heel and put a small piece of tape arcoss it. Usually that held them for a day. These are more stretchy than those, and I think will work.

I bought it for my mom, it is not designed for that & come in one size. It is not good, but she decided not to have me send it back, good support, but not for big swollen ankles. I suggest a good old ace bandage. Or see a doctor.

Hello, happy to help if I can. I bought these for my wife, her ankles are 5" in diameter. She reports that she can cinch these weights right down and they work fine for her. A happy wife is a happy life....

The entire length is a little more than 19 inches. If you use the full span of Velcro to secure the strap, you are left with approximately 12 inches. But you could get away with 3 inches to secure, giving you 15-16" to encircle your ankle.

I have the Large size and they're a tight fit without much flexibility in terms of adjustment (drawstring keeps them on and snug). Might want to try emailing the manufacturer.

If they're too tight they might roll down. Very uncomfortable. I would go med rather than small.

Yes, for me. I have 14EE feet, wear big shoes, these conform magnificently to my ankles. I wore them 18 hours yesterday, mix of driving, walking and standing and only when I took my shoes off at the end did I feel that I had to get these Aircasts off. I love these, worn them about two years and have a spare set if these ever fail. It looks like it will be a long wait to ever use those spares.

Medium works for me. These stockings really prevent swelling of the ankles.

The key is the circumference of your Ankle just above the malleoli (the big knobby bones on both sides). If you haven't looked at the chart on Bauerfeind.com yet that is really useful. If you have a lot of swelling you may want to measure your other foot and get that size as your target. Good luck! Dave, PT

I bought them because my feet are much wider in front than in the heel. So, if I buy a shoe that fits the front of my foot, it is too big (wide) in the heel. I step out of pumps. These helped solve the problem for me. No my pumps fit perfectly! I don't think it would help much if the whole shoe was too wide, but if wide in the heel....they helped me! Hope that answer helps!

I purchased these for my mother (size 9.5 womens) who has extremely swollen feet. These socks are thick and stretchy. Since you are in the middle of the two sizes, I think the question becomes what are your personal preferences in terms of how high you want the sock coming up your calves. If you want them on the lower side I would get the 8-11.
