False Advertising!!
I've tried "wide" socks from other companies and they clearly do not know what "wide" calves actually look like. They always send me very narrow socks meant for very skinny legs! So in desperation, I went looking for companies whose socks were specifically and only meant for large, full calves. This photo caught my eye, because my calves are not that wide - so if their socks would fit those calves then I should be able to easily wear them. I ordered "X-Wide" even though my measurements were at the bottom of their size ranges for an extra-wide calf. They arrived today and are the exact same narrow size sock that I've been receiving from all of the other companies!! They're probably made in the same place! I tried putting them on (just in case they were somehow magically stretchy) and they were a joke! I could barely get them half way up my 19" calf and they say they can accommodate up to a size 24"! They also say they fit a 9-10 shoe size. I wear a size 10 and the foot area was so long it could have fit a 12" foot. I also have full ankles - and the ankle area was the only thing that their photo got right! The ankle area of the sock was ridiculously narrow and severely tight with very little give. So frustrated!!

which worked better. If you have large calves
I bought these as I have some circulation issues and was concerned about a long flight for vacation. I am overweight so I bought the extra wide calf, but they were still too tight. So I ended up cutting them down to crew sock height and rolling over the top to make a band, which worked better. If you have large calves, I would recommend going to the largest size.

What every vendor should do ...
Just as adviertised.Additionally Boston Enterprises contantes me promptly after the order was entered, and kept in touch until the socks were delivered. They even sent detailed instructions on what to do in case that the socks were too big or too small ...Completely satisfied not only with the product but also with the professional service backing it up.

Nope. No way. Not for my extra wide calves.
I have the boston extra wide White calf compression sleeves. They fit great for width. I have to wear them down around my instep, so they go from the middle of my foot up into my knee compressing my ankles which swell. But they're starting to lose their elasticity. And I need black ones. I wanted a pair of that were actual socks so I tried this, it's States it's the same compression gauge and width size around the calf. Hello no it's not! I have a very wide calf, 20ish" depending on the day. This pair of socks was actually extremely painful to wear. I managed to get them up to my knee, however they just about cut the circulation off because of the tightness of the band which goes just under & behind my knee. Honestly, they were actually painful instead of therapeutic. I won't even mention that form I use the feet are so long I would have had to cut the toes off and sewed them up to actually make a pair of socks that would have fit. Returning them.

These are great socks, and they are a little more comfortable ...
These are great socks, and they are a little more comfortable on my large calves than some others that I have tried. I wear a size 8 in women's shoes, and just like all other brands, the foot part is too big/long, so when I have the socks on, the toe area has a lot of extra material hanging off at the toe, so it is very uncomfortable inside a shoe all wadded up in there .... Just because someone has large calves - doesn't necessarily mean that their foot is also large. I wish someone would come up with a pair of compression socks that didn't have such a large foot too.

Misleading decription
These socks are suppose to be for wide legs it was hard to pull over my foot, no way are they for wide legs

Relief.....ahhhhhh
I was very pleased to find these in x-wide calves and they fit perfectly. There is not pinching into my leg because the top band is wide enough. They arrived in one day and on they went immediately. I have varicose veins so these compression socks are a dream come true. I only purchased one pair first to get an idea of their fit and now that I know I can see additional purchases being made.

These are great socks. I just had my second knee replacement ...
These are great socks. I just had my second knee replacement and had to wear thigh high for the first couple weeks. Thankfully these socks got my surgeon's not of approval and now my white nylons are in the trash! I'm very sensitive to material so the 80% cotton content makes these the perfect socks for mel"
