Hi there!
I'm really excited to buy these tights but not so sure about sizing! I'm 5'6" @ 150 lbs- which says a M. BUT- I've got some thick legs & calves with a little belly. Should I go for a large? I don't want to compromise support on the knees, that's very important to me.
Thanks!

Hi Anna- For the CW-X Stabilyx Tights, you should be wearing a size Medium. As mentioned by another user, the tights stretch very well and will accommodate a range of body types including thick calves and and legs. You will get good support with the Stabilyx Tights if you go for the medium.

If you're in the medium, don't size up. They will look tiny when you get them and they're hard to get on (put them on like stockings, little by little) but if you want to knee support you want them to be tight the way they're made to be. I was on the border of small and medium but I'm glad I went with the small because I need the knee support and it seems the medium would have been just like regular tights, so not as supportive. They're worth it, I haven't been able to run without having terrible knee pain for years but I don't have any pain in my knees with these, I even wear the capri version snowboarding sometimes as an underlayer.
