Mojo Compression SocksMojo Compression Socks Made in The USA - 2XL Opaque - Knee-Hi Firm Support - Open Toe - 20-30mmHg - Stockings for Woman - Support for Men (XXL, Black)

I have HUGE calves - genetic AND due to weight gain, so I have searched high and low for socks that fit. The Jobst brand "fits" , but they are too tight to get on comfortably, with my arthritis (old hands) and a previous rotator cuff injury; putting them on is a 30-minutes exercise all by itself, but they WERE the only socks I found to get around my giant calves. I tried this MOJO brand, and have now bought multiples in case I cannot find them when winter comes. They FIT! They are easy enough to put on! I actually have ankles at the end of the day!I tried the 6X first, and all was great, but I was surprised that they were "easier than expected" to put on; I thought maybe I should try one smaller size, just to be sure. THEN - I ordered a 5X, which was only slightly tighter to me (but of course I was not really stressing them out - I just wanted to be sure they could fit). I have not started exercising while wearing these yet, so I am very curious whether they will stay UP or not (that was why I bought the 5x size, so I could try them both for a walk), but I will re-post when I find out. As for fit, though, my calves before all this measured about 28 inches around (yes - YIKES), and BOTH the 5x and 6x could be used, although the 5x is a tiny bit tighter. I put them on first thing in the AM, before any swelling set in, and after sleeping with my feet raised (I am now trying to do all that I am supposed to...).I am SO thankful for these socks that finally fit. Those who walk around wearing "whatever they want" have no idea how hard it is to find super-wide socks.THINGS I LEARNED:We have cats and a dog, so I was also glad to see that although I do get pet hair on the socks (unavoidable as we watch TV together at night), the socks wash out well and the tight weave does not "trap" the pet hair. It removes with a lint brush as well.I was a little concerned about foot size: although I have large feet for a woman (12 wide), they are still never large enough to fill in the "giant" sock foot area that the max-size compression socks offer. Not a big deal to me,since the point was to get these to fit my calves, but I wanted to let you know that there WAS extra fabric, but not too much, in the foot area, but it was not difficult to deal with, as other brands have been. This MOJO fabric is more stretchy and lays more flat than some others I have tried, which helps with this excess material. Not an issue for me, with this brand.Also - I read ONE review by a lady who was tall and flew a lot commercially, but did not really have large calves - she needed socks due to being on airplanes so much; she recommended the open-toe version since she was tall and had trouble finding a brand that was LONG enough. I am also tall (5-11), so I knew what she meant - many styles I have tried were too short to get "up under" that behind-the-knee area, especially when I was already stretching them to the max in the width dimension; these MOJO socks fit great, for me, in BOTH directions, in BOTH open-toe and closed-toe styles (neither was too short). And - sorry for the short people -but the shorter folks might end up with too much fabric at the knee or ankle, but I was pleased that these were long enough. I will gladly take too much fabric, over too little, any day.In trying out the open toed style, I was happy to learn that the compression DOES help with that excess fabric in the foot area - the sock can be worn as long or short as you need on the foot itself, which was a surprising advantage. I was previously worried about the open toe area being too tight where your foot sticks out from the sock - I have enough foot issues and swelling as it is, to not want to invite yet another issue to my feet. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the MOJO sock did NOT affect the foot area - it is very comfy (and much cooler) to have the open the style on my feet. I go barefoot in the house all the time, so having to wear socks all the time - especially a compression style - is a big adjustment for me - they even make me feel warmer (as in TOO HOT) than normal, so having the open toe helps a bit. The sock was "firm" around my foot, but never too tight - and I wear them all day! For those who wear open-toed sandals, this is also a nice bonus. I think I could wear sandals and capris with these and not feel overly conscientious. I was afraid that the compression sock would make the open toe area very tight, or turn my toes purple, or bring something even more "uncomfortable" to my feet, but all is fine. They are very roomy in the foot area.Best of luck to you, my large-footed and/or wide-calved friends! I hope these also work for you!

This product sizing chart is based off measurements for the calf and ankle. I ordered the product based off these measurements. When I received the product I was disappointed to find there is far too much fabric from heel to toe. It does not fit snug like in the picture and hangs loose well past the toes. The product is too long from heel to knee as well. Being a constriction stocking, the excess bunches up, cutting into the leg causing pain and cutting off the circulation.

I bought these because regular compression hose always bite into the top of my leg. When professionally fitted (read expensive) I was told I was a size 4. These socks are a 5, but a world of difference.At the base of your toes, this sock measures 10" (mine are 8") and that's without compression!I'm guessing that sizing for these medically necessary stockings are not standardized? And with most sellers, sizing is not described.How very difficult and frustrating. I will return.

Enough support for large legs

Fits well and feels good
