Customers find these diabetic socks comfortable and well-made, with soft cushioning that’s particularly gentle on painful feet. The socks stay in place without binding and are stretchy enough to accommodate braces, with a seamless toe area that doesn’t bother toes. Customers disagree on the thickness of the socks.
Nice thick stretchy & loose women’s socks
Well, these aren’t thin socks which I can wear with slacks, but these 10-13 Large Women’s socks fit my 8 1/2 shoe size foot without having to stretch them to make them fit. That’s what I’ve been looking for forever (and I’ve ordered many men’s socks just to get them larger, only to find out my 8 1/2 women’s shoe size foot is larger than the men’s socks I have found!!!) I want my socks to fit loosely so my toes are comfortable and not cramped. These socks are thick. While I can’t wear them with my slacks, they will be perfect to wear with my pajamas at night in the winter (because I always wear socks to bed). The blue color is pretty, also soft, and they seem well made. These compare with the Dr. Scholl’s socks which I used to buy but can’t find anymore. I’m sure these will easily fit up to a women’s size 9 1/2 shoe size, maybe size 10 if you want to stretch them.

Soft, non-binding socks that feel like heaven on your feet!
WOWZA! I am not a diabetic, but I am a plus size and petite woman who has a very hard time finding socks that do not bind and cut creases into my shins. It doesn’t help that I have very muscular calves and that, because I am so short, the socks come up higher on my leg then they would an average height person.I bought what I believe is two packs of two pairs, both packs were a combination of light pink and dark purple as I recall. The softness of the foot part is unbelievable! It’s like having fleece booties on. There is also a bit of padding to them so that they actually make my feet feel better when I walk.As for the neck of the sock, when I went to put them on the first time, I could not believe how much they stretched! They are plenty big for my short stubby ankles and muscular calves. Hoorah!Because I am so short, the Sox come right up to the back of my calf where it meets the knee. Does it stay there all day long? Not usually but that is not a huge deal for me. Right now, it is late at night and I’ve had them on all day and all evening long. They are about at half-staff, i. e., halfway between the top of my calf and the bottom of my ankle. At no point do they choke or Mark my legs.My only caution to you is to make sure you keep your toenails clipped. Otherwise, they can catch on the wide stretchy band of the sock. Thanks to the pandemic, I have not had a pedicure in a year, and my nails have caught in them a couple of times and pulled a thread. So far so good though, not any permanent damage that I can see.I highly recommend these socks whether you are diabetic or not! If you need socks that do not strangle your ankles, these are those!EDITED 6/1/21 to add that I also bought these socks in the short length in Black. The cushioning of the foot part remains very true with these oh, the stretching is of the ankle part remains also true. One thing I forgot to mention in my previous review is that if you are a sweaty foot person, these will for sure make your feet sweat if it is not the dead of winter. Yes, they are more expensive than other socks. But to me, the increased quality and comfort is more than worth the extra cost.

Cozy and Fluffy socks
These diabetic socks are exceptional. Fluffy on the feet and light weight around the ankles. Purchased as gifts and she loved them. Easy to slip on, lots of colors but we love white with white canvas sneakers. These feel so cozy on the feet, while, fit us perfect. They wash well and look great after washing.

Comfortable
I came across this brand of diabetic sock in ankle length and was so impressed that I searched, and found, the same brand sock in crew length. They both have non-binding, stretchy tops as well as fully cushioned whole inside area of socks, not just the sole and/or heel area. They are warm, well cushioned and moisture absorbing. The toe area stretches to accommodate toe sleeves, corn and bunion pads, or whatever special needs a diabetic might have. I am very impressed with the quality of the construction.

Comfortable -black color is a grey black
The fit is good and they are comfortable, as my ankles are swollen. They are shorter than the picture shows. The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 stars is my last two orders were a grey-black, not a black, like it said when I ordered them.

Great socks!
This is the second time around that I ordered these brand of socks for my 95 year-old mother. They are fluffy, cushiony and soft and the ankle is very loose and gentle without sliding down. Just great quality socks! They hold up well in the washer/dryer multiple times without any wear and very happy with them.

These socks are soft and thick but not overly thick. They do not have that nagging seam line that irritate your toes and they do notfit too snug around your ankles. I would definitely recommend these socks.
