Collection: Plus Size & Wide Calf Compression Socks & Stockings

Compression That Fits Fuller Legs

Effective compression depends entirely on proper fit — and for fuller calves, larger ankles, and bigger frames, that means stockings actually built for those dimensions. A standard sock stretched over a wide calf compresses unevenly and can cut in, while one that's too loose delivers no benefit. Our plus size and wide calf collection provides accurate graduated compression across extended sizes without rolling, binding, or constricting.

What 'Wide Calf' and 'Plus Size' Mean

  • Standard compression fits calves up to roughly 18 inches in circumference
  • Wide calf styles fit calves from about 18–22 inches
  • Plus size (bariatric) styles fit calves over 22 inches

Our plus size compression support hose range covers knee-high, thigh-high, and pantyhose styles from JOBST, Sigvaris, Juzo, and Truform in extended and bariatric sizes.

Compression Levels

Choose the level that matches your needs:

  • 15–20 mmHg (Moderate) — tired, aching legs, travel, pregnancy, and early varicose veins
  • 20–30 mmHg (Firm) — the most prescribed level: varicose veins, moderate swelling, recovery
  • 30–40 mmHg (Extra Firm) — severe swelling, lymphedema, and CVI, under medical guidance

These are brand labels, not an industry standard. Wide or full calf usually means more room in the calf with a regular ankle. For example, JOBST Relief Full Calf fits calves of 46-61 cm (about 18-24 in). Plus or extended sizes may also enlarge the ankle, thigh and hip. Compare your own ankle and calf numbers against the chart for the exact style.

Size to your ankle first, then check your calf. If your calf is above the range for your ankle size, choose a wide or full-calf version instead of sizing up. A bigger size also loosens the ankle, which is where graduated compression is meant to be firmest. Measure your calf at its widest point in the morning.

Support hose is the everyday term for graduated compression stockings. Plus size versions provide the same rated compression (15-20, 20-30, or 30-40 mmHg) in extended sizes for fuller calves, thighs, and waists, in knee-high, thigh-high, and pantyhose styles.

Rolling usually means the sock is too small for the calf, forcing the top band to fold. A correctly sized wide calf or plus size sock distributes pressure evenly, so the band stays put without cutting in.

Measure instead of going by clothing or shoe size. Knee-highs need your ankle at its narrowest point and your calf at its widest. Thigh-highs add the thigh, and pantyhose add the hips. Measure each leg in the morning, then match your numbers to the chart for that exact style, because every brand's extended sizes use different ranges.
