Probably a long shot, but do these work for deadlift socks? How far up the shin do they come on anyone who has ordered a large?

These socks go all the way to the knees. My 13 year old son wears them as he has a U.S. 10 size foot.

I bought the Akona fin socks - they come in actual sizes. I used these with my snorkeling fins. They snugged up the fins, but weren't tight - they loosened a bit in the water. I have dive boots to wear with my dive fins. The Akona socks worked great - hope this helps!

I'm short, but I don't know if that makes a difference. The socks fit me about 3 inches above the top of my ankle. They are not binding, yet stay up quite well.

Ditto's to get large and trim down if required. I'll throw another wrench in the works though. If you are NOT a strong heel striker when running (which is a good thing) and actually land somewhat mid-foot or rather flat, I'd suggest the full-length version of their lift, because the lack of height on one leg can still be noticeable with negative effects with the forefoot lower. Then you'll really want large to give enough room to trim the same as the insole to go under it.

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.

I bought size M for this sock, and I run in a size 41, so I would have to imagine that a L would work...socks are great

I would get a SM/MD. My shoe size is 8 and that is the size I went with and it worked for me. I am 5'5" and the socks came up just below my knee.

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 don't have actual measurement-based sizing, unfortunately. The Small/Medium and Medium/Large size specs are all we have to work with. That being said, there is a review that conveys an opinion/advice that any calf circumference of 15" or more should be paired with a Medium/Large sleeve. I happen to have ordered the Medium/Large size without measuring anything, and I struggle a little to get the sleeve on and in place (which might simply be the 'nature of the beast', given what it's supposed to do), but it works extremely well, and is the only thing in my experience to prevent the shin splints I was otherwise plagued with and practically guaranteed to 'get'. I just measured my calf circumference, and it's ~14.5" -- so although mine is less than 15", a Medium/Large is what I needed, and it works well enough to do the job, but is tight enough when trying to get it on to make me wonder whether I ordered too small a size -- but once in place, it's fine, and it's not too tight (feel-wise), and doesn't hurt, etc. -- it just works like a charm.

Hi Steve C. Long story short... I wear 10 1/2 EE Mizuno Wave Alchemy and 11 EE Asics GT 2100 series, as well as Gel Nimbus... but when I buy these particular Wigwam socks, I buy the extra large size, because I have foot problems and tight socks just don't work for me. Pinched nerves and bad circulation are not fun. The extra large size fits me perfectly after the first washing... and are only slightly loose before that first laundry trip. Good luck

I would also say yes as they are very hard to get on. You may find some compression socks with a softer material that would be much easier for you.

I wear them with 2mm neoprene socks and they are great. No chafing or anything. I actually used them today for more than 3 hours and not a problem in the world.

I have worn them for a short time without a sock and they "grab" my heel pretty well. If it was a tight fitting sock it might work. Maybe use an Ace bandage to hold them in place as they do need to be in place to work.

Your better option would be for soccer socks or larger tube socks. They stretch okay but fit more slim and are thicker than regular socks.

If this is about Compression Socks, I am 6ft tall and I like the LARGE size socks because they fit all the way up my calf to below my knees. I want full length calf support. I have one Medium sock and its a little short. My shoe size is 10 or 10.5 If you have long legs, then a Large should do you fine like me. If you don't have long calf's, then a Medium might be just fine. I wear these socks everyday while standing and they really make all the difference in the world. Hope this helps.

I would recommend a larger size to make sure, but yes, I put them on my legs, then put on my shoes and pull the foot portion over the shoe. Wore these for 6 months doing Kempo!!

I would choose another option for fat skis. These fit perfectly for my 82mm waist skis but when trying to put them on the 115mm waist skis (maybe 128mm around tip/tail), there isn't nearly enough padding to span the base of the ski. I'll be looking for something else for those skis.
