The measurement that actually matters
Shoe size is the quick answer, but your calf is the one that decides whether these
work. A sock that fits your foot and cuts into your calf will roll down, leave a mark,
and end up in a drawer.
That matters more in pregnancy than it usually would, because calves change. Take the
measurement rather than guessing from what you wore last year.
How to measure your calf
The two sizes overlap, on purpose
Look at the calf column again. S/M runs up to 15.0 in and L/XL starts at 14.2 in, so there is
a real overlap between 14.2 and 15.0 in (36 to 38 cm) where either size will
physically fit.
If you land in that band, take L/XL. Graduated compression still does its job
in the larger size, and the comfort difference over a twelve-hour day is significant. A sock you
keep wearing beats a sock that is technically tighter.
Same answer if your calf and your shoe size point at different sizes. Go with the
calf.

with your calf measurement and your shoe size before you order and we will tell you which to
get. If we get it wrong, the exchange is free.
If your legs are still changing
They probably are. Most women see the biggest change in the third trimester. If you are early on and sitting right at the top of S/M, size up. You will grow into it rather than out of it.
