Extra WideMedical Mid Calf Crew (Pack of 3), Antimicrobial, Made in USA, for Men and Women

Bought these for my son who has muscular dystrophy. He had trouble putting his socks on. These are perfect! Easy for him to put on which gives him his independence getting dressed. He says they are comfortable and just loves them. He liked them so much we bought more.

Hello crime fighters. You'd better believe this isn't my first pair of wide leg diabetic socks, so this review comes with some relative experience. I'm a six foot three and a half, size 13.5 shoes, wide foot, 450 pound diabetic with mild edema. Thirty some years ago in football, I was nicknamed "Tree" because, even skinny, my legs have always been as thickly muscled as two oak tree trunks. And these size 11-16 socks fit me just right. They are comfortable, they stay up and they are well made. There's none of this hog wash about having to pull the socks on so tight that you rip them trying to get the heel in the right place. It's a perfect fit naturally for my foot. I just got up and my calves are twenty-inches before they have started to swell. So that should give you some idea as to who these will fit. They are not loose or tight, I can barely feel them touching my skin, yet they have at least four-inches of give left were my legs bigger.I've been through two-dozen pairs of competitor's socks in the last three months. They all just fall apart on me. These are the only ones that look and feel as though they are made to last. I wear socks, no slippers or shoes all day long and these have been through four or five washings so far and they show no signs of wear nor of graying--they are still pristine white after washing. Most socks are stained by now. Yesterday, my wife spilled blueberries and I staggered all over them, smashing them everywhere, but they didn't stain the socks at all.Socks advertised as calf-length usually come up to my ankle but not over my calves. I was surprised how tall these socks are, they come up about three quarters of the way over my calves. At first that worried me, but even after a full day, these socks are so light fitting that they did not make my hairy calves itch or apply any pressure to them. It's really enjoyable to have a nice fitting tall sock for a change that fits over my calves, I've never had one in my entire life, until now. I usually just end up using ankle length socks, so this is a pleasant change.Now I'll put a sock in it and let's get back to crime fighting, Holy underwear Batman!P.S. They stay up all day without readjusting and with most socks I end up with the heel on the top of my foot eventually, but these socks have never twisted on me. Oh, and shipping was fast, I ordered the slow delivery and they were here in three days. The only weird thing was, I ordered six socks and they sent them in a box big enough to hold fifteen or so. (Waste really bothers me, even though I didn't pay shipping.) Warning: the socks come with a tiny plastic tie needled through them, that is deceptively strong. Cut it, don't try to break it, because it might start a tiny hole in your new socks. Even though these socks are very strong compared to others, you have to be very gentle with diabetic socks of all brands.Update 5/11/13(Saturday): I just ordered some more of these socks to replace the losses of other brands of socks in my sock armada. Buying some in lovely "nerd white" and some in "dress nerd black". It's been three months since my first order, wearing each pair of socks once per week, they still look and feel like brand new! You know how socks always get thinner as you wear them--not these. No graying, no stains, they come out pristine white every wash. No holes, not even a loose thread or odd bulge. No dryer MIA's as of yet. I continue to wear socks and no shoes all day long, so my socks really get the wear and are holding up flawlessly. One day, one sock did get twisted after seeing heavy action, but otherwise socks stay the way I have put them on perfectly--not one has ever fallen down or become loose and floppy. I have never had a sock mark on my legs at the end of the day, nor has my skin or leg hairs ever itched while wearing these socks (I'm a manly man, I don't shave my legs anything except just under my eyelids and my neck so nobody shoots me, thinking they bagged a Sasquatch--maybe that's too much information; still, there are a lot of Big Foot sightings in my neighborhood every time I leave the cave). I'm fantasizing about throwing the rest of my socks away, they're all a pain in some way or another, but I just don't know if I can let go.Update 6/6/2013: I've decided I'm going to do it. I'm going to throw all my other socks away today. The second order of socks came some weeks ago, it took around a week to arrive. They are just like before. The black socks are a rich, vibrant, black color. They've been through a couple of washes and the color has held up just like new so far. No sign of graying on the first order so far. I compared the new ones to the old ones and they look the same color and size and so forth. A very tiny hole hole showed up on one of my first order of socks, I must have snagged it, but I don't remember. It doesn't seem to be growing or unraveling though, so it's pretty much contained. Other than that, they are still like new--most socks would be getting worn out by now, as I wear them all day without shoes. The last brand of socks I bought, I had thrown away about two dozen pairs by this time. So these socks are really paying off. I'm just so happy with them. Why the hell else would anyone keep updating you on their socks? It's just, I've been a victim of sock abuse for so long.

So my husband has legs like tree trunks and had a hard time gettig socks on. So I found these and they work good. The only thing I didnt like was there was no dark brown so I dyed them.

Very comfortable on my triple E feet.

Elderly person with circulation problems in the feet

Overall, the socks are well made, comfortable and fit my legs. They are easy to get on and off, but the price was a little high. Hoping they will last a long time.

They were welcome when feet and ankles to knee were swollen from edema. The swelling has subsided and they're now too loose. I'd hasten to buy more if needed.

Perfect what I was looking for

More expensive than I'm used to buying... you get what you pay for! They are wide enough, long enough; not sure how they wash yet; husband is shoe size 15 5E. Socks are comfortable he says; come to mid-calf. We are hopeful that they wear well... wash well... will update if problems.

I wear a brace and need socks to come over the brace. My calf is quite large and I wanted them to be comfortable. They do the trick!!! Thank you

Just loved them.. I brought it for my father, initially I was thinking about buying such expensive socks but when it was delivered it was worth every single penny. I urge that this is very nice product and please buy this for your parents or yourself

Held their shape and stayed up without cutting off circulation
