« Shoe creepers »

Just received 3 pair of these socks. They look good and are nice and soft. Only problem is they creep down almost immediately into my shoes. Hate That! Have only had this problem before on socks that were getting toward the end of life & elastic was pretty bad.

« GREAT SOCKS!!!! »

THESE SOCKS STAY UP WITHOUT CUTTING OFF CIRCULATION. TOP IS LIKE LADIES FISH NET HOSE, WHICH MAKES THEM VERY COMFORTABLE TO WEAR IN THE ARIZONA SUMMER HEAT. GREAT SOCKS!

« Pretty Good Socks »

This is the second time I have ordered these socks for my 94 year old father. They have a very stretchy top, which prevents constriction of the circulation in his lower legs. He was wearing cotton ankle socks previously and, at the end of the day, he experienced quite a bit of swelling above the tops of the socks. The only criticism I have of these socks is they tend to pill, which is unsightly, but does not affect their performance. I have washed them hundreds of times and they have not lost their stretch and stay up quite nicely. I would buy them again.

« Soft, Comfortable and Do Not Bind »

When I noticed that my elderly father was slicing into the tops of his socks with a scissors, I got the idea that he needed new and different socks. Socks with a lot of stretch at the top. Far more stretch than the usual man's sock.

I checked the stores but they only offered what is called "diabetic" socks in white. Even at his advanced age, my father is not going to wear white socks, unless he is playing tennis, and believe me, that event is highly, highly unlikely. So I began to search for dark diabetic socks, preferably black.

I found two manufacturers that make them. These socks by Diastar and socks by Wigwam Wigwam Men's Diabetic Strider Sock. Not really knowing which to buy, I bought both. The socks by Wigwam are all acrylic. They are ok. They fit well, they do not bind and they do not fall down.

The Diastar socks, however, are better. They are very soft and cushy. They are 90% cotton. They do not bind or sag and they stay up. The top is an innovative mesh-like open weave that is very comfortable. They wash well. They come in Black, Brown, Blue, and of course, white.

« Very Disappointed »

I've purchased six varieties of diabetic socks the last two months from online stores, local pharmacies, brick and mortar shoe stores, etc. These were my least favorite. Also happen to be the cheapest so maybe I'm just getting what I paid for. Overall I found them a too thin and with not enough elastic to stay positioned on my foot. One pair developed a hole after being worn one day. Another developed a large run when it was put on the first time. Part of the problem might be that my foot is at the large end of the size range for the sock so the poorly defined heel didn't fit right. But the socks had a tendency to be pulled off my foot with the slightest pressure, such as taking off a shoe, not enough elastic.
