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.

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.

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 you´ll 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.

Can't say for sure, I would say I am an average calf and it is comfortable but snug.

Measure around the knee in the standing position. Size charts are included by some of the suppliers and I also found one in the reviews. If still unable to find one, google them and find the size on another site. They are worth the extra time. I have them in several sizes and use as both knee support and calf support. They wash well and last a very long time even with daily use.

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.

to find out what size to order, find out the size of your leg. if you look at the size chart on the box, there is a spot on amazon to see the size list under the product pic, it will tell u what size u need by the inches of your calf. As far as the compression goes I go with the firmest because the mediums slip down my leg and compress where it settles instead of the whole calf area. Hope this answers your question.

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.

My measurements came out to a Large size (I have large calves), however, following the advice in the review section, I ordered Mediums and I am happy that I did. The reason why you are buying knee sleeves is for compression, to keep the area warm, and to give support. Ensuring a very snug fit only makes sense. I do full bum to floor squats, cleans, and snatches and believe me, there is no danger of these sleeves ripping because I wear a size down. I would definitely recommend ordering a size down.

That's a good question! I actually took a tape measure and wrapped it around my knee and calves to determine a size. Once you have a size in mind I would then go to the McDavid website and check out their size chart to determine which size will work best for you. My results after measuring with the tape measure was 18, which led to determining my size, which a large, based on McDavid's website. The key is determining where the placement of the sleeve is best for you. If you would like it over your knee's measure the knee. If you would like it placed right above or near your calves, measure your calf muscle. Hope this helps! That's a good question!

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!

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

On the back of the box are the instructions on how to measure to determine your size. I enlarged the photo of the back of the box to determine what size I needed, my calves are 22" around and hence I ordered XL and it works perfect! I started with 2XL and they work as well, only difference is the foot is too large and I have extra room in the toes on that pair.

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.

Dear Erica!As you checked the sizing, you would be on the Small one for your height, but medium with your calves. I would suggest the medium. It won't be longer that much and also, you shouldn't take the small, because it would be so tight, unhealthy.

Go to skins.net, choose a pair of compression socks then hit "size guide". It's by calf size. The socks are amazing, I have five pairs (and no relation to the company).
