Compression socks for tall nurses

Hey all,

I am looking for compression socks for long legs and wide calves! Where on the calf should the compression sock fit for best results? Mine at the moment fit about three inches below the knee even though they're supposed to be "knee-high". I'm beginning to thing that I don't have options because even the men's compression socks are too short.

    Ah yes, that dilemma. I bought mine at CVS (I'm nearly 6' tall with long feet). You might check there. They should come comfortably just below the popliteal angle/space of your knee. Also, I'm assuming you measured your calves?

    Ok I'll check CVS, thank you! I am also almost 6' tall with long feet :/. I did measure my calves, 19". I hope they have something for me!

    I think mine are XL.

    I'm 6ft, and I can tell you now that our lives will be filled with much misfortune in the fashion department. Even fashion with a physiologic purpose.
