Are the sizes shoe size or sock size? Gambling on size ordered Lovat Blue and the Bowmore Country Socks in Mustard

The sizes refer to US shoe size. So a size M hose fits those who wear shoes sizes 8 - 10.

Finally make it back online and to Xmarks and my first post back is about hose, just doesn't seem right. Question though is does anyone know if these hose work well for those of us with large calves or do they look like most do and stretch out to the point you're afraid they are going to break?

I just received my pair this afternoon and they are definitely more snug than the Lewis, Rannock or any of the patterned top House of Cheviot hose I have. Perhaps I got a really narrow pair, but, as is, I would not suggest them if you have larger than average calves. For comparison, my calves are 15-1/2 inches at their widest ( they appear pretty average to me ) I believe that the House of Cheviot "Harris" line is designed for those with larger like calves.
Best of luck!

Both a bison and lovat blue (aka blue mix) pair arrived via USPS, yesterday. They are my first Glenmore hose. Their look and feel are great. They fit me just like the Lewis line, but are not as thick, so they will be most useful for our warmer summer and early fall weather. Thanks for the heads up and information, Matt.
I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

I usually recommend the Harris hose for anyone who has calves over 16", though I do know people who have calves of 17" and tell me they wear the Lewis hose with no problem.
With 15.5" calves, I would think the Glenmore would work well for you, but if you find they are too snug, just shoot me an email and we can work out something.

If you have large calves, I strongly recommend the Harris hose from House of Cheviot. They can fit up to a 26" circumference calf!
