SocksmadMens 100% Cotton Black Extra Wide Big Foot Comfort Fit Diabetic Hand Linked Toe Socks 12 Pairs UK 11-14

The socks are good quality,good value for the cost but they are rather bigger size than normal and one of the colors is not very nice.

Comfortable fit, look smart and wash well too

Whilst I don’t have significant swelling of my lowers legs I have used various different makes of socks for “diabetics” with varying success. So far so good - love that these are 100% cotton, are a good size (I’m size 12), glide on with no effort, and so far are a comfortable wear.

I bought these socks because standard elasticated socks left deep grooves in my skin at the ankles and above. The stretchy top of these socks leave exactly the same deep grooves. Also, after a few washes, the base of the socks have become baggy and slip around on the feet.

What I ordered delivered on time. Delivery spoilt by the package being thrown over the front gate instead of as instructed. Product was exactly what I was looking for but there was no size variations. Not a problem for me. I will consider buying again if required.

Over approximately 72 days, I've already thrown some of these socks away. On average, I have worn each pair approximately 6 times. The produce lint like nothing I have seen, mostly inside the sock. It's so bad, I need to take the socks off in the bath, turn them inside out and shake them to get the link off, otherwise the black fluff finds its way everywhere around the house and all over the carpets.This high lint rate has meant that holes have developed in 2 or 3 socks so far, so they have gone in the bin. Thankfully I have 21 socks left to randomly pair up.They are comfy, and I prefer to wear them with the ankle cuff turned down and back over the sock towards the top of the foot, otherwise the thing elasticated top does leave a mark around my ankles.For £20 for 12 at the time of purchase, I can live with the problems and the rejection rate on a value for money basis, but it doesn't feel particularly environmentally friendly, as some of my other socks (M&S) are still in circulation after maybe 10 years? (a few have been rejected, but not in 2 months).

The quality is excellent -whilst it says for 11-14 shoe size , it would be quite tight at 13or 14 I reckon - for me at 8 it is fine !Very good presentation

The socks are both roomy and comfortable. Although they are soft tops they stay up very well.
