Some questions and answers are automatically generated.
Do these socks leave marks on legs?
No. Multiple reviewers specifically praise these socks for not leaving elastic marks or lines on the legs, even with swollen legs or ankles. This is the non-elastic band design working as intended.
Are they easy to pull on and off?
Yes. Reviewers consistently report that the socks are very easy to put on, particularly those with swollen feet, ankles, or reduced mobility. Several customers note they're especially helpful for elderly relatives or people with health conditions affecting dexterity.
How stretchy and roomy are they?
Very stretchy with substantial give. Reviewers describe them as having plenty of stretch to accommodate swollen feet and ankles without effort. One customer noted they're softer, more stretchy, and more comfortable than other extra-wide brands they've tried.
Are they soft and comfortable?
Yes. Reviewers consistently call them soft, comfortable, and well-made. Many report wearing them all day without discomfort, and several mention the fabric quality is notably better than expected for the price.
How durable are they in the wash?
One reviewer noted the socks become slightly smaller and thicker after washing but remain comfortable and well-fitting. Most customers report they wash well and hold up over time.
Are they suitable for people with diabetes?
Yes. Reviewers with diabetes report these socks are ideal because they don't restrict circulation or leave marks. The non-elastic band and loose fit are specifically designed to avoid pressure points that could be problematic for diabetic feet.
Do they stay up or slip down?
Most reviewers report they stay in place well. However, one customer mentioned they don't stay up and found the top part rolled over and dug in. This appears to be an isolated experience; most others praise how well they stay put.
What is the sock length?
These are mid-calf socks. One reviewer described them as slightly shorter than some other extra-wide brands, which they appreciated. Another mentioned they sit halfway up the calf, though one customer felt they were awkwardly between short and long lengths.
Are they good value for the price?
Yes. Multiple reviewers explicitly highlight the excellent value for money and quality, particularly noting the six-pack multipack pricing makes them a good bulk purchase option.
How is the fabric thickness?
Most reviewers describe them as soft and comfortable. One customer noted they are quite thin, while another mentioned they become thicker after washing. Generally, reviews suggest a lightweight, breathable knit rather than heavy socks.
Extra wide diabetic socks praised for comfort and soft fabric. Customers said they're "very stretchy" with "no cutting into legs" and leave no marks. Ideal for swollen feet/ankles and diabetes. Most find them easy to pull on. Some noted they're shorter (mid-calf) than expected and one found them too thin, not staying up well.

Not good
The socks are short but not short enough to call short socks, not long enough to be up to knee, half way on calf, very thin, don't stay up , and thin top part that rolls over so digs in leg,

Very comfy
My husband is very pleased with these. We’ve bought other extra wide brands in the past, but these are the best so far because they are slightly shorter, stay put, and are also softer and more stretchy, so a lot more comfortable. Very happy and will order more soon.

Due to heart problems and swollen ankles my husband has struggled to put socks on. He was absolutely delighted to put these socks on with ease. Also they are 80% cotton which is good .

I am a carer for a 95 year old gentleman and he is very independent, but he struggles with all his socks being tight at the top. I saw these loose top socks and got some for him to try. He is delighted with them.....all his others are in the bin! Makes his life so much easier. Thank you

Hi,
Thanks for reaching out. They are mid-calf length.
Beautiful rope storage baskets, very well made and sturdy. Ended up ordering a couple for my daughter too, she was soo impressed with them. Thank you for a great service too.
I bought 2 x large throws in teal colour. I was astounded by the quality for the.prive and the speed with which they arrived...I'll certainly order from you again
I bought these in sage to match my bathroom. I already knew they were thin because of others reviews but that was precisely why I got them. They dry quickly, preventing that musty smell developing. Every piece is perfect, no wonky edges.
Tequested size exchange due to Larger than expected fit.
I was pleased with the quality of the product and arrived in good condition, but the 2XL was too large for my requirements for it was not the right fit for me. I therefore returned the item on 13/08/2026 via Royal mail and requestedban exchange for an XL size.
The returned process was straighforward, and I am looking forward to receiving the replacement. Overall, my experience with the product and ordering process has been positive.
Have ordered these items before and loved them. However evri decided to leave the parcel with a so called neighbour 17 doors away and on a different street... Luckily the gent took the time to come and find me so parcel finally delivered
