Looking at getting some compression socks, but am stuck with sizing issues. Sizing is based on calf circum, well the sizes are:
Size III 12.5-15 in
Size IV 15.5-17.5 in
And my calves measure 15 in (L) and 15.25 (R).
Better to go III or IV?
Any answers out there?
I’m 15 and I have both sizes. I would go with the III’s.
I think I was right around 15.25 as well and I felt like the III, while providing a ton of compression, might have been a bit tight for wearing during activity. If you want to use them solely for recovery then definitely the III, but the IVs seem to work fine for during races/runs/bikes etc.
Though, its all a pseudoscience anyway, and no actual benefit has been demonstrated from wearing them during activity. So, I think you are fine with whatever you choose.
Sitting in a pair right now. You definitely want the III whether you are working out or recovering. Trust me.
