Compression Socks for Women and Men 20-30mmHg Plus Size - Extra Wide Calf Men and Womens Compression Stockings for Travel, Airplane, Flight - Beige, 6X-Large - AB201

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!

I have been buying this brand of compression socks for wide calves for several years now. They are well made and the fit is accurate. I will continue to be a repeat customer as long as they keep doing a good job like they do.

Hold up well and have good support.

I love these socks! I’ve been wearing compression socks for over 15 years and it’s hard to find good socks that don’t cost a fortune. I’ve been wearing Allegro socks for over 10 years because I can’t find anything else I like that is comparable. I found these and decided to try a pair. I love these socks - even more than Allegro socks. The seam on the toe is minimal, making it so much more comfortable. I’m very picky about the toe seam. The band at the top of the socks isn’t overly tight and the socks are long enough so they don’t cut into your calf. I’m going to order a lot more now!!

I bought five pairs of these at different times. One pair was black and those had a nice material and fit perfect. The other ones I bought in gray. They seem to be a different material totally and don’t hold up on my legs as well. They all washed nice and reduce the swelling. I will buy them again, but in the black color, hoping the material will be the same as what I have.

Very nice good quality helps my legs from swelling. I love it.

If you need compression socks as a bigger guy with blood clot problems, these are a good option. I've had some sets of these for a few years now. They last a long time. If they get any holes in the toe you can easily sew them up and keep them going, I've done that. These are much cheaper (and larger) than everything else on the market. You can also mix and match sizes if you have one leg larger than the other.

Although these are better material than some and for me it’s great they it’s latex free since Im allergic to latex, the fit isn’t the best. I measured and medium was the size to get according to measurements however the griot part is too long and the sock is too long. I’m 5’7” and the sock is about an inch and a half to 2 inches too long. I folded them over at the top but after wearing them for less than 7 hours I have creases on my foot right where it bends and just below my knees. Otherwise they would be great. I feel a small would be too tight and small. I will have to keep searching as I have to get some that work and fit since I have to wear them everyday to help manage POTs
