Doctor's Choicewomens Crew Socks, Shoe Size 4-10, Sock Size 9-11

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.

I needed socks that were not tight around my calves. I love the way they feel.

These socks are soft and light and soooo comfortable. I am curious to see how they hold up and how the do in the winter but I also have warm boots. I just love how they have no toe line!! No more ewww feeling and my feet can breath! Definitely getting more

At first I didn't like them because I thought they were going to be too thick for my shoes. I was ready to send them back and then I thought I would just try one on. I only had one on when I knew I would keep them. They immediately gave my foot some relief. I'm not a diabetic but I have a lot of varicose veins and I didn't want anything too tight on my legs Plus this seamless toe was a draw.

The sock's are very soft and very comfortable but they weren't as long as the picture showed

I bought these because I was tired of my work socks cutting into my lower calf. These still leave marks but they're much more comfortable than regular socks. I will buy them again.

The socks are thick and warm.

These are very nice socks, I have Lymphedema (swelling) of the legs, and they are not binding like regular socks you buy that leave a line embedded into your calf. They are so soft with a cushiony padding on the bottom of the foot. I will be ordering more of them.
