OK.

I use to never wear socks. I'm what people in my area call a "Bradenton Blackfoot" (Bradenton=my city and Blackfoot being people who never wear socks or shoes even outside so their feet are thick with callouses on the bottom and always dirty. Lol. But the days of letting my feet be free are long gone, as I am forced to wear socks to cover the bandages I have around my feet and lower legs. I developed lymphedema a while back. My feet don't swell nearly as bad as my ankles up to my knees do, (and my inner thing on my left leg) but the socks are plenty big enough for my super huge feet, size 15, normally about 5e or 6e. But I have compression bandages on while going through treatment and these are even loose on my feet with that on. The top, around the shin area, is a little too tight. That's my fault, though. I thought I ordered their sock that stretches to 30" at the calf but I accidentally ordered these ones. I messaged the seller to see if I could return just the two unworn pair for a partial refund and I'll just say they took care of me without any obligation to do so. The seller stands behind their products, and they were very understanding about the issues I had. And now that I've been going to lymphedema therapy, my lower leg just above the ankle is just small enough now to fit in these without any uncomfortable tightness! Even over the 4-5 layers of stalking, cotton, and compression bandages. In a few more weeks, my legs should be small enough where they aren't right at the 25" maximum point and once they're smaller than that, I'll order again for sure. As for the feeling, they are very soft and thick. Great material. The ankle and up part that stretches around the leg does tend to stay stretched after wearing and washing so as the lymphatic fluid is pushed from that area over the next few months and my ankle and legs get smaller, the stretch will be too wide and they'll probably fall down my leg. (Also not the fault of the seller or manufacturer. The sock just tends to lose it's elasticity after a few washes, especially when being stretched to the max. on someone such as myself)

These sock are loose enough for larger foot 4E or 6E depending which brand shoe that they don't cut into my ankles.I have to use a sock aid to put on my socks they stretch over and go on easy.

A little expensive.

My hubby has large feet AND they swell due to lipedemia. He cannot wear regular socks and since I have to help him get his socks on, wide comfortable socks are a necessity! XLFeet makes the only extra wide dress sock that I could find that would meet his needs. The socks are easy to get on, comfortable, and stay up.I rated the socks a little low on durability because I really don't know how long they will last. After a couple months the socks did get looser and a bit "pill-y" but they are still useable.XLFeet also has merino wool socks for colder weather - yea!! We are very happy with these socks. FINALLY, we found socks that he can comfortably wear!
