Disappointed in the care required to maintain these socks
The socks fit great and were very comfortable right of the packaging. I washed them in cold water with color protecting detergent. However I didn't realize that in the myriad of symbols on the socks' packaging there was what I think is a no dryer symbol. I dried them on low but it wasn't good enough. They're socks right? You should be able to dry them in the dryer. Nope! You can't. So buy these with the idea that you will wash in cold water with color safe detergent (Did I mention they also faded the first wash? I guess we can blame the dryer for that one too.) Anyhow don't buy these if you want to treat them like regular socks. Buy them if you don't mind giving them tender, loving care and drying them on the line like you would your finest lingerie.. Otherwise they are fine.

Nice socks...
These were purchased for my mother who has issues with edema in her lower extremities. She’s tried a number of other brands of “diabetic” socks, but they have still always ended up too tight around her ankles (5’4” 135lbs for reference). These socks seem to fit her well. They are loose enough where they don’t leave deep indentations in her skin around her legs and ankles, yet tight enough to stay up. These are lightweight socks and she wears them year round. Only complaint is that since they are thin, they tend to wear in the heels and ball of foot (although she literally wears a pair of these all day, every day, so she gets tons of use out of them). If you’ve been having problems finding loose-fitting socks but would still like them to stay put I would recommend trying these.

You get what you pay for
For whatever reason, regular socks cause indentions on my legs. I don't have a disease (that I know of), retain an inordinate amount of water, or have particularly fat legs. Maybe, I'm just sensitive, but I don't like the look or feel of the indentions. These socks are a lot more comfortable than regular socks, so in this respect, I'm happy with them. They aren't fancy, but they are suitable for wear with business casual type slacks. As far as quality goes, they aren't so great. They started pilling after the first wash, and one of them ripped during the first wash. However, they are fairly inexpensive. They are cheaper than, for example, Gold Toe socks, but the quality isn't nearly as good as Gold Toe. When I went looking for this type of sock, I was surprised to find there aren't many brands to choose from so while I won't rule out buying this brand again, I'll be on the hunt for something that holds up better.

These are the best socks I have ever found for my feet
These are the best socks I have ever found for my feet. I had tried many socks, but none worked. These don't look substantial, but they are. They are thin, yet warm. They stay up, don't rub, and have given my feet relief. I have since ordered another set of socks in a different color. Now, I just hope the company keeps manufacturing these, and that Amazon continues to sell them. I don't generally write reviews, but I decided to submit this review hoping that it might help someone experience the relief that I have experienced,

Love the cuff on them though
Socks say up to size 9. I'm a size 9 and the foot was big on me. Would definitely fit a size 10 and maybe even next size up. Love the cuff on them though, wide and very comfortable, not narrow and tight at top. Stay put on leg without leaving indention at end of day. Wish they were a bit thicker on foot area. These are thin socks like a dress sock. Ordered blue and there was a mix of medium blue and a dark blue. When washed dark blue did fade to a medium blue. Yes, I would order them again just for the wide cuff on top, however if I could find the wide cuff in a thicker foot material, I'd get that instead.

These socks are hands down the very best socks I have ever purchased
These socks are hands down the very best socks I have ever purchased. They fit perfectly and the cuff is quite different from what they use for diabetic comfort here in the USA - much, much, more comfortable than any other socks I have purchase here. The price is surprisingly low for what you are getting. I purchased the six pack white and two of the three packs which each contain grey, blue, and black socks. I just wish they had these in many other colors as well. They are shipped from overseas and the tax, any tariffs are taken care of in the purchase price. They cannot come over night or within two days but it takes surprisingly little time for them to arrive and they are well worth the price.

Good for wearing with lace up shoes
These do what I wanted which is they do not leave marks on my legs and they are super comfortable. Down side is I can only wear them with 'sneaker' type shoes that lace up. The snug fit of a lace up keeps the socks from sliding around. It's no so much they slide down but they slide around so the heel ends up on the top side when I wear with 'regular' shoes. In spite of that I still will most likely buy them again. In cool weather I wear lace ups most of the time anyway. I just need to find the right sock to wear with my other shoes.

Disappointingly different from others of same brand
A while back, I ordered a set of this brand of sock, which have been absolutely wonderful. They REALLY don't leave a dent in swollen legs but they do stay up, & they are lightweight but also cushy. The only problem is that all of them have pink roses on them & I really wanted some solid colors. I was happy to find exactly this package, but they are disappointingly different. They are thinner, & don't stay up as well, but tend to bunch at the ankle, leaving linear wrinkles. They are most certainly NOT cushioned, & one pair developed a hole on the top surface, where there is no friction or anything sticking out, on the 2nd wearing. It made me wonder if the company had been bought out & the quality had dropped. I also wish they would sell mix & match colors instead of large groups of such similar designs. I would have bought a pair or two in every solid color, but now I am afraid they will all fall apart.

Best. Socks. Ever.
I wear an 8.5 Wide width shoe. I have large boned ankles and chubby toes and some circulatory discomfort in one ankle from a fracture. These socks stretch to fit my feet very comfortably with stretch and softness that allows perfect toe wiggle room. The ankle band is heavenly soft. They pop out of the washer and dryer appearing shrunken, but instantly return to full size when placed on foot. Do they slide down into my shoe? Yes, at times, but no worse than the tighter band ones that I've always been stuck with. Ordering from Canada, the shipping is very affordable, the cost for such comfort and functionality, priceless! My only regret is that I didn't have socks like these for the past 45 years. Filling the drawers....

Really comfortable but wear out easily.
They are great in that they stay up and they don’t mind on the leg but my heel wore through them on the second wearing. Really poor quality in the sole.

To receive what I order.
