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.

Hello Annemarie, this is Mike from Conductive Therapy Shop. We're in the process of auditing our Amazon listings and came across your question. Thank you so much for posting it. The socks are made to fit a fairly wide range of feet, both small and large. They fit my size 10 foot really well for example, and also my wife's size 6 women's nicely. One of our customers from Texas who uses the socks with one of our Ultima Neuro TENS devices claims to have a size 15 foot, which is the biggest foot we know of to have successfully used the socks. There's also a reviewer here who indicates that he has a size 15 foot. In the clinic we occasionally run into size 12 and 13s, and these can admittedly be a tight fit. Keep in mind that these socks are made uniquely for treatment, so the user would most likely be stationary, and wouldn't be overly flexing the socks as he/she would with every-day type footwear. The key to using the socks with larger feet is to saturate them with liquid before putting them on so that the fabric relaxes. We include a bottle of conductive spray with this package to help improve the conductivity of the socks, but I'd recommend using tap water first to thoroughly wet the socks (be careful to very GENTLY wring out the excess water). To make putting the socks on larger feet easier, you will want to next roll them into a donut shape before unrolling them up the foot much in the same way you would do with a Pantyhose type stocking. To remove the socks you'd reverse this process, being sure to unroll them between uses so that they can fully air dry. If you still find the sock is too small you can always contact us through Amazon, or go through Amazon directly within 30 days if you're using Prime, and we'll be happy to let you return them to us for a refund.

I am 5'8 145 and am regular in all dimensions. I ordered a Large Half Leg HL15xp and it worked with all the casts that I was put in. some casts were fatter, some not, some covered my toes and some did not. The DRYPRO waterproof leg protector that I ordered worked well and I still have it for future casts that I may encounter. I broke my talus which apparently is a bad bone to break and it has a reputation as one which doesn't like to heal. Hope this helps. Take care and good luck. Marcus

I'm 5'9 and 170lbs and Large works well for me. I've seen complaints with Medium being too tight. Keep in mind I use them over my thermals and they might slightly alter position. But nothing is perfect and feel the 10secs it takes me to pull the very top back over my knee is worth the 2-3 days of knee pain. The amount you move your knees boarding will not keep ANY pads in place. So if you get a size bigger, just put them over an extra layer or over your sweats underneath your snow pants.

For me the socks were not over the calf. I found them to run small in size and I gave them away. I went to the local BIG store and bought some diabetic socks.

Yes, I use thigh high ones. It is important to pull the sock over frame until you get to the heel. The heel material is noticeable so you can see it and stop after it is pulled to top. I found if I put my foot into the sock at that time then I had enough toe room. The form cannot be pulled all the way up the leg but having help on the lower part of leg made all the difference in getting socks on.

I'd say it would be about 50% thicker than your average pair of athletic socks, except on the bottom where I'd say it's about double the thickness and maybe even a little more. If you're concerned about shoe fit with these, if the shoe is snug in normal socks, it will be a mite tight. I've never had a problem with hiking boots or athletic shoes such as you might find in Merrell's or Keen's inventories. But I can't wear them with my cowboy boots.

It should, I purchased them for my husband whose calves are around 20 or so inches. But make sure they are the real thing. My box was different than the box I purchased from the store and shipped from China which made me think it was a bit of a knock off. Also the sock was a bit thinner. This was not something I had ever considered. I now check the sellers location to ensure its reliable. Happy New Year!

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 wouldn't consider the socks as thin. I use them for volleyball and love them. They do have some cushioning. They work perfectly for volleyball and are currently my favorite socks. I don't, however, know about their use as softball socks.

I am 5' 9" and I wear LARGE FIRM Futuro restoring socks and they go well above the knee. I fold the top down about 1 1/2 inches like Austin mentioned. Maybe I should get Medium size, but my doctor recommended Large for my calves (which I think are average). They're comfortable, I am afraid medium might be too tight.

Edwin, First of all, I apologize for taking so long to answer. These were originally ordered for my husband, and were to small for him. I am female, stand about 6'. These are knee socks and in the large size, tight on my calves - enough so that I have had bruises. The compression is somewhat gradual up the sock but still quite tight at the top. 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.

I ordered a men's large because I wear a size 12 shoe. The socks were easy for me to put on. Once I had them on they don't feel overly tight or loose. The Toe end isn't too tight either! These are the best support hose that I've ever had! Hope this answers your question!

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.

I am 6' 0" 165 lbs , I ordered the Large, they are small, but they work great. i dont know a ton about soccer, but my friend who plays college soccer tells me that they are supposed to be small and short like they are. They go to about the middle of my shin. they fit, there is nothing wrong with them, i would order the same thing and the same size again. i would get at least a size large though if i were you, or maybe extra large if you want them a little bigger.

I ordered an X-Large 5mm to wear with a size 10 1/2 shoe and the fit is a bit tight. The 5mm thickness is OK for a size 11 men's shoe anything smaller I would suggest the 1.5mm neoprene sock. I've worn both sizes (with different boots) for Washington state surf and salmon fishing; they work great.
