    Size shoe?
    13 D USA [Regular width]
    Length of lower leg from the top of your shin (the knob) to the ground?

    17" from floor to top of shin
    I'm just curious to see what the range is. And why there's so much difficulty finding hose that give a good fit.

    I know....curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.

    I'll start with my dad's measurements. Calf is 16, shoe size 11 & his leg measures 17 1/2 f/ the floor to the knob of the shin.
    My additions in red.
    Also noteworthy, my 'activity level' is "athletic" because I'm an SRT Officer in my Prison. That requires a lot of "leg-work" and leg training/strengthening.
    ...and I stand 6'1" and 235 lbs.
