Virtual Sizing

For most of our products, we take a lot of measurements. That's because the better they fit, the better they work for you. It's worth taking the time to measure yourself well. You can call a customer care representative for assistance, if you need to.  


Please follow these instructions carefully to determine the correct size for different product styles. Take these measurements down on a piece of paper to reference while you shop. 

CALF STYLE

Open/Closed Toe

  1. Measure the ankle circumference at the narrowest part of the ankle, above the ankle bone. Use the appropriate series sizing chart to determine if ankle is SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE or X-LARGE. Note: This should be your first measurement.
  2. Measure the calf circumference at the fullest part of the calf.
  3. Determine the calf length by measuring from the floor up to the fibular head. This measurement is taken on the outside of the leg.

PANTYHOSE AND THIGH-HIGH STYLES

Open/Closed Toe

  1. Measure the ankle circumference directly above the ankle bone. Use the appropriate series sizing chart to determine if ankle is SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE, or X-LARGE. Note: This should be your first measurement.
  2. Measure the calf circumference at the fullest part of the calf.
  3. Skip Step 3 (but refer to General Guidelines #6 below).
  4. Measure the thigh at its widest circumference.
  5. Determine the leg length by measuring from the floor up to  the gluteal fold.
  6. Determine the hip circumference by measuring the widest part of the hips.

 

GENERAL GUIDELINES

  1. Measurements should always be taken when swelling is minimal.
  2. Measure against bare skin, not over clothing.
  3. The measuring system is based on having the foot flat against the floor and the calf or leg at a right angle to the foot. 
  4. Measurements should be taken by pulling the tape around the leg so that it is snug but not constricting.
  5. Length measurements should be taken from the ground up.
  6. Take all measurements twice to ensure accuracy.
