(More customer reviews)I bought some for my aunt who has circulation problems due to a heart condition. I started out buying the small ladies size, but as her condition worsened I gradually bought her the men's size and then when her edema was so much she could not wear shoes, I got her the 13-15 size shown here.
Of course, the 13-15 crew looked like knee socks on her, but, at least she could put socks on her swollen feet and she was very grateful and I was so happy for her.
The socks are lightweight(not a thin dress sock and not a thick bulky sock.)
Socks are mostly cotton. Tops of the socks are weaved to stretch & socks did not lose their form after washing them many times!
I just throw them in the regular wash using very warm water and toss in the dryer.
They are not seamless, but the seams are recessed so that they do not bunch so much at the toe. People who NEED seamless socks need to buy those more expensive socks.
They pretty much look like regular socks except the tops are weaved differently where the stretch happens.
There is a bit more room in the foot area than the Physician Choice brand Diabetic socks. I bought both brands.
I wear these socks too even though I don't have diabetes or neuropathy. I find myself showing family members how the tops will stretch out at the top and then bounce back to my leg. Now my brother, my nephew and some of my friends wear these socks.
The Quarter length socks were just the ticket for a friend has wide legs. Looks like a golfing sock.
Like I said, my aunt, who so much edema she could not wear shoes, was able to wear the largest size 13-15 around her house (as she was housebound.)
The unisex sizes mean a woman can choose a bigger size if they have edema or are pregnant. Even though these 13-15 size are meant for men shoes 12 - 13.5, my nephew who is tall and thin, but, has a size 14 shoe was able to wear them.
The tops of the 13-15 size do stretch considerably. Once during the cold weather, I put a pair over a 2 liter of soda thinking i could keep the bottle from freezing in the car when I went into the mall shopping. (laughing) True Story. It worked, but I do not recommend the socks for insulation, just demonstrating how much much the tops stretch.
(I also noticed that the White and the Gray seem to stretch a teeny tiny bit more than the dark colors.)
I highly recommend them as an economical way to keep you sock drawer supplied with non-binding socks. I got the white socks for about $29.99 dozen including shipping in 2009.
