What is the difference between soft top and comfort top?

It was these ones. You might need to scroll through the photos to see their logo.

Another vote here for Sockshop. Good choice of soft top or comfort cuffs. Their bamboo socks are especially good and not too expensive. Lovely and comfortable to wear.

I prefer soft top socks and found them on Amazon, sold as diabetic socks they have them for both men and women. I have lots of them in different colours designs - spots and stripes!

Calzedonia are really comfortable. My daughter lives in Milan and introduced us to these. Reasonably priced too

Were they Farah, SueDonim - or a different brand?

The Gentle Grip women’s socks have horrible toe seams. They rubbed my toes raw and I had to get rid of the socks.

NotSpaghetti Wed 19-May-21 22:05:11

Yes. I have checked and Socksnob was where the Farah "comfort cuff" came from. Sockshop sell them too.

There is also a Farah sock called "gentle grip" - don't know the difference though I'm afraid.

Good luck.

I got ones called Gentle Grip on Amazon - they are lovely, very comfy indeed.

NotSpaghetti Wed 19-May-21 19:33:46

Diabetic socks (at least the ones I have seen) allow for extra width over the foot itself. I have bought them for my mother in law who has puffy feet most days now - but don't think the OP is looking for that?

Cosyfeet do what they call diabetic socks with extra stretchy tops

Cabbie21 Wed 19-May-21 16:01:51

Not men’s, but I bought some ladies soft top socks in Boyes.

overthehill Wed 19-May-21 14:35:14

Thank you both

My husband doesn't have fat legs either but has found the Farrah "soft top" sort lovely.
Think he had them from Socksnob.

My DH has the same problem and has a drawer full of socks we thought would be OK. Eventually I googled soft topped socks and suppliers came up - we ordered some and they are from Sockshop - his have a plaid design and came three in a pack. Lovely and soft and wash well - no complaints since. We bought more as a back up. They were no more expensive than run of the mill socks.

Can someone recommend soft with comfort tops that still stay up. These are for hubs although not having fat legs, normal ones dig in.
