Doctor's Choice Diabetic Socks for Women, Non Binding Extra Wide Crew, Seamless Toe, Loose Fit, Cushioned Support, Neuropathy Relief, Wide Toe Box, Swollen Feet, 4 Pairs 10-13, Large (Light Grey)

This is not the first time I have purchased these socks but it is the first time I have bought them for use for a senior who is in his 90s. These are great and the doctor found them an agreeable option for the senior. For me, I appreciate I can put them on and off the senior with relative ease.

and they are simply the best diabetic socks I’ve ever found. Stretchy but not binding, soft, soft, soft but they last through years of washing. I would NOT recommend for anyone with significant edema ( foot and ankle swelling).

Wonderful, non-binding socks, even if you’re NOT diabetic!! we are seniors with the average size, not chubby legs and most other socks seem to make marks in our skin from being too tight. I never dry our socks. I hang them to dry so it’s not a problem of shrinkage. Most socks today are just not suited for an average person with average size legs. THESE Socks Are TERRIFIC and not binding!

I was diagnosed with neuropathy a few years ago and have tried several brands of "diabetic socks". These are the first ones that actually stay up and are by far the most comfortable. I now have these socks in 3 colors and wear them every day.

Yes, they're warm. It even says that in the description: "keep feet warm to aid circulation." They're like thick winter socks. It also not cotton. It even says cotton is bad: "cotton absorbs and holds moisture which can cause sores and blisters." (and, not mentioned, promotes fungal growth) Most doctors don't care about socks let alone fabrics. Nurses and CDEs are more likely to give you their opinion. Experts will agree on comfort and that feet need to be kept dry but disagree about features like absorbency of wool/cotton vs wicking of synthetics (source: American Diabetes Association) These definitely pull moisture. They may even become wet, so you should monitor extended use in shoes and let your feet "breathe". Like winter socks, these are stretchy but not constricting. And they can slide down. If you're looking for compression, unless you buy a size down, these won't work. The product description doesn't doesn't specifically discuss compression only stating the socks' construction helps circulation (often a benefit of compression). These are a bit pricier than typical offerings of cushioned, moisture-wicking socks. You're probably better off in those as the preform the same. These are almost twice the price of Dr Scholls diabetic socks, but I've received bad reviews of those from friends.

Really nice socks if you have large feet that swell during the day. They don't dig into your ankles or leave marks. They also stay up all day. Comfortable, fit well, padded, stretch, very easy to put on and multi pack is good value.

My husband likes these. He fell about 10 years ago and shattered his heel and he finds these socks comfortable to wear where he now finds regular crew socks uncomfortable . The price point is wonderful. Also, his feet now get cold easily and these socks keep them warm.

My mother loves the softness & non-binding quality
