My shoe size is 7.5, but my calf is 17.25" ... what size do I select?

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.

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.

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.

I'm 5'5" tall but my calves measure 14.75" around. What size should I order. The small I'm guessing would be too tight and the med-large would be too long.

I wear a medium and wear a women's size 7. It has more to do with your calf size than foot size.

My calf size is 14 inches and it fits conformably. I would imagine the larger the calf the tier it will get. I sometime prefer tier when walking so i put on two pairs one over the other.

Hi, I looked at their actual site for sizing. From there I took my own measurments and from those I tried to make the best decison from there. Also, if your half measurment is a size larger than what it should be for a smaller size based on the measurments for your thight, base your size off of your calf instead or the brace will not fit properly.

When I contacted a representative from the company, she explained to me that if your calf is 16" or larger, you will want to get the XL Gravity Boots. Unfortunately, she wasn't so sure on any ankle measurements though. I hope that helps.

I wear a 7.5 and got the medium. It is quite snug and I wouldn't want it any tighter so you may want to consider a large.

My foot is Medium but these are plenty wide for me even w/ socks, and the calf part is wide. I got a half size larger than I usually wear and put an insert in the boots.

I'm male and a bit over 6 feet tall with 13 3/4 in calves. The medium calf compression sleeves are ideal in length but a tad loose fitting. Since you're a foot shorter than I, I suspect that medium will be too long.

I'm tall, so I ordered Long which I believe was 17". They are sold in short, medium and long so it is best to measure your leg from ankle to just under your knee and measure the circumference of your calf in the thickest place. That way, the stockings will fit you like they were made for you.

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 have 21" calfs and use the Extra large with no problems at all. I can wear them all day with no issues.

My calves are 15 in. and I have the small/medium....for you, I would suggest the medium/large.....

That's the problem I had! The size is based on measuring around the knee. The website lists one sizing chart, but the packaging lists another. I measured 14 inches, bought a medium, and it was too small. Here's the website: https://www.kneesupport.com/mcdavid/. I think the issue was that i have muscular calves, so my proportions may be different than their "standard". My suggestion: buy a size larger than you think you need. Good Luck!

You're safe to follow the CEP sizing chart. If your husband's calf size is exactly between two sizes(15.25"... size III or size IV ???), personally I would go with the smaller size. Otherwise follow the chart and you'll be pleased.

In my opinion you would require a large. My calves are small but I need a medium . A small was uncomfortable .

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.
