Socks.

Jillybird I am a size 4 and have the same problem. M&S have socks in size 3 - 5 if that helps.

Just discovered this company. I need size 9 and could never find fun or colourful socks. Also women's socks always end with size 7 or 8 or are one size.

These do them all in 3 sizes and they are brilliant. Soft material, soft tops and long. Wash well,

Got my tiger socks on today.

But they don't match!?!
I never considered myself OCD, but now I'm wondering.....

I always buy ladies “ Diabetic” socks from EBay . ( I am not diabetic) They have a nice comfy top and don’t slip down , will last wash after wash , also they good buy at around £5 for 3 pairs .

I wear flight socks to the knee. Swollen legs and feet now much better. Strangely, I found the Original Factory Shops flight socks best. £3.00 for one pair. As opposed to £27.00 pounds in some other shops

My feet are smaller than yours jillybird and I find Seasalt socks the best for me.

Warmth, comfort and coziness are the most important things for me when I choose socks. I have found all of these and they are so creative www.thenordicsocks.com/

I like Thought socks but they are quite expensive and may not meet your criteria ?. Will post link anyway in case anyone else interested.

I've just found bamboo socks and really like them. Garden centres seem to stock them round here.

Another vote for Seasalt, they are bamboo, and have enough room for your toes to spread - and they last for ages.

I like bamboo socks and used to get them from House Of Fraser but they are expensive. Just before the first lock down I saw some packs of bamboo socks in TK Maxx at quite a reasonable price. They have a wide range of packs of socks, DH always gets Pringle socks from there.

M&S Sumptiously Soft socks - just bought three packs (15). Perfect for me.

I bought my DH some diabetic socks from Aldi he reckons they are the best he has ever worn.

Falke are an expensive make but very good socks. They are marked L and R and are tailored to fit better. Not sure if they do a special fit for narrow or wide feet, but they do comply with my main criterion which is that the seam above the toes is absolutely flat and not like a piece of rope in your shoe which gives you blisters.

A vote here for Seasalt and for bamboo ones. I have a varied selection and they last for ages, plus they are lovely jolly colours and patterns. No point in being boring!

Thank you muse

Best wishes from a member of the big feet club?

I originally 'discovered' soft-top socks in a local garden centre that no longer stocks them. However, I found that I can get them from Amazon if I search 'diabetic socks' although I am not diabetic. There are both cotton and bamboo ones available but I still prefer cotton. There's a good variety from plain colours to lively, colourful stripes.I tend to favour the stripey ones!

Seasalt for me too. My only problem is finding socks small enough as I have size 34 feet.

Another vote for Seasalt.

Cosyfeet do a range of widths and sizes including diabetic soft top socks.

I wear Bamboo Socks and find them soft and comfortable. They stay in place and are not tight in the ankle /leg area. Best socks I've ever worn.

I didn’t realise there were so many of us needing soft, comfy, non slipping down socks.

Thanks for all the feedback.

I have tried to find comfortable socks many times, and have never really managed to find something that suited my small size foot length, but very swollen diabetic feet and Ankles.

Some of my spectacular fails have been nothing short of a Rip-off, with a high price tag, narrow leg, and no elastic, just slithering off my foot, and ending bunched up down into my shoe even before l have reached my Front door!

I have even tried buying some Diabetic Men’s socks from a large specialist wide foot company, who advertised their ‘miracle socks’ were of a design guaranteed not to cut into swollen oedema legs, very true, as they just slithered off my foot and bunched up under my arches, only prevented by full escape thanks to my shoes!

There is a positive side to this though, as all my more unisex type socks often end up in DH’s sock draw, where due to his perfectly normal size 7 narrow feet, they fit him just fine!

I’ve bought cheap ones (Morrison’s & M&Co) and wouldn’t waste money on them again, expensive ones (Bamboo), but I’m sticking with John Lewis bundles of 5 pairs for £12 which I pick up in Waitrose.
Many to choose from NanKate - from conservative to highly patterned.

I have been on a mission for the last couple of years to find comfortable socks and have tried dozens of makes from very cheap to expensive. The best that I have settled on are Seasalt .
