Do the socks fit with correct compression if you have large calfs?

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

I'd say so. Both mine and my wife's are larger than average, and we both thought they worked well.

I would definitely go with a large especially if you are new to compression socks. A medium will be uncomfortably tight around your calf and may actually constrict rather than compress.

Should not be a problem. They are made with cycling in mind, so the legs are form fitting and the ankle opening is narrower. The best way to describe the fit is like a pair of skinny jeans as opposed to straight-leg jeans; they get narrower down by the ankles. I lift weights and have relatively muscular legs for my height. I have no problem with the fit around my calves. I have these pants in a large, have 15.5" calves, and these fit great.

The answer is no. Please read below: 1- To find your size, first measure around the calf (widest part of lower leg) and also around the ankles. Go to the size chart on the product page and based on the mesurements taken youll find your size. 2- The support is determined by severity of swelling/edema. Mild swelling will do with a 15-20, I wear 20-30 Large with a calf 16.5" when swollen. 3- Any compression over 20-30 is best determined by a doctor as it may cause unwanted side effects or dangerous over compression if not needed. 4- If your problem is lymphatic drainage, there re ways to manually massage for relief and these stocking compliment/work like magic. Always best to check with a doctor first.

I own 12 pairs. I stand 5'10" and my calves are more muscular than average. These socks go about 1-2" below my knees. The compression seems just right for me but the top 1" could be better if the pressure was less. These socks fit great, like a second skin! I wear them at work, under my 12" high mining boots. They stay perfectly in place the whole day.

I wear mine for sports and they fit fine. However, I went down a size from what I measured from the knee to ensure they would be tight for compression and wouldn't roll down.

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 ordered the Pintoli/Fytto Style 1020 Women's Comfy Compression Socks, 15-20mmHg, Knee High, Black, Large Size, and I absolutely love them! They are thick but have a nice silky feel. I cannot imagine them snagging or getting a run. They seem very durable.

I would say no. I am on my feet all day and I wear support stockings with a short pair of crew socks over them and that solves the problem. By the way, when I bought Miracle socks on amazon, they were not near as tall on the calf as the ones I got from Walmart. I don't know why that is, but they were and I couldn't use them.

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.

I bought the large. I am NOT large but had some trouble previously with compression socks. The large digs in and leaves marks around the calf just below my knees. Almost like black and blue circle going around the calf. I suggest you try the large and see how they fit you. I need a larger sock but cannot seem to find any. Hope this helps.

no, they try to not compress the feet or calves. They still stay up pretty well and are very comfortable.

Yes. Definitely mid-calf. But I would buy a size larger. Although they are very sturdy and comfortable, there is some slight shrinking you may experience that I forgot to mention in my review. I hope this is helpful.

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 have washed them with my colored clothes, warm water, cold rinse, low dryer. These are not really tight socks, if you really need good compression, these are not it.

I wear size 11w and have wide calves. I wear the extra-large and they fit well. They are supposed to fit somewhat tight - that's what provides the support. From my experience, they aren't anywhere near as difficult to pull on as support nylons.

I also wear 9.5 shoes and ordered Large. The fit is good in the foot, ankle, calf and is truly knee height. The toe region is loose and slightly long (as the large size fits up to size 10 shoe size, I believe). Overall, compression is good but to fit perfectly a medium might have been better. I bought two pairs of large, but in retrospect, I should have bought one medium and one large to compare fit and return the least fitting pair.
