Do you recommend sizing up or down when you are between sizes when measuring your calf?

If you are used to wearing compression socks you could size down. If you are not you might want to size up until you get a feel for what level of compression works best for you. I wouldn't size down if you are planning on wearing them for extended periods of time.

Dear. CustomerAny leg size below 18" Mid Calf Circumference (Large = Regular Size) will be OK to use. Once air inflates to sleeve, inside of sleeve will be smaller than you leg size.

Just kinda go with what size you are.I am a recent parapalegic I have to wear them every day the rest of my life.I was 6 foot 2 when I landed in chair I use a large.I think there measuring is kinda hoopla.If you are small get small,large get large.Just remember they are compression stockings.They must work right.They are very helpful,but they can also be damaging.

Hi Shannon, my size comparison is based solely on my calf size. Maybe this will give you an idea of what size to get. The widest area around my calf measures 13.5 inches. The small size fit perfectly. I had to put some effort into pulling it on...but it was tight fitting and stopped the pain when I ran. Hope this helps

Hello. I wear a size 7.5 with an average calf size. I bought the Med/Large. As the previous reviewer said, they are snug so the added size will be a plus. They work wonderfully and I will be using them again this week, when traveling.

I wear men's size large. You can measure the length from the bottom of your foot to your knee and measure around your calf for sizing. I choose men's for a better fit for me, even though the foot is a little large for me.

I don't know. I have never measured my calf. I think mine is a regular calf size. I am a swimmer. I went with my shoe size. I use them for flying. I am a flight attendant and I needed a lot of compression. They really do the work. I am satisfied with my purchase.

i think for both it depends on ur size, its a good product i've been using mine for a year no runs so far and the compression seems still good on my calf.

I received the M/L and wear a size 10 in a shoe. The heel part seemed to big for my feet. If u r a size 8 I would go with the smaller option. As far as the medium calf thing goes my athletic calf's couldn't handle it. Some of there products seem to be targeted for average legs. If it has a design be careful because it will leave marks up and down the leg. You could try the M/L to be safe and just return if they do not work.

The salesman in the store went by my calf size and I got a perfect fit. I believe there is a size chart on the box that goes by calf size.

If your 6 feet tall and very slim I would say a small, medium may slide down a bit but you will get more length coverage. Medium build go with medium for sure. Large build go with large. When I say build I mean roughly how big your calves are. I'm 5 feet tall ordered a small and I'm always pulling them up in between sparring rounds. Hope this helps!

Foot size doesn't matter for sleeves. Order by calf size. If in doubt on size, go smaller.

Linda, I found the chart to be accurate. I'm 5'9" and 195 and got the XL (largest size). I agree that large doesn't sound right to me, for you. Did you use a flexible measuring tape to measure your calf circumference? A piece of string will work.

i have a 17 inch calf and I bought the large which is fine, you might consider medium, not sure how sizes run.

I would look at the sizing chart. I believe it shows sizes in adult sizes though so keep that in mind when ordering. I'm in my late 20's and a medium for me fell below my calf. Something to consider. Best of luck, Kay Dubs!

I originally ordered a s/m and had to return them. They were for small feet. I was unclear on the sizing at first, as well. The S/M on the package fit up to a size 6 or 7. The M/L fit sizes 7 or 8 up to 10 or 11. I have a size 10 foot and went with the M/L. I would say a size m/l would be the best way to go for a size 8 foot. I don't think the sizing will matter for the calf. I am pretty sure the sizing is based on the foot size. The calf size seemed the same amount of material for both sizes. Hope I didn't confuse you. M/L :) would be my suggestion. I ordered that size for my friend who has a size 8 or 9 foot and she liked them. I originally ordered a s/m and had to return them. They were for small feet.
