I like these and find them more comfortable than regular crew socks, though I wish that the elastic band in the top was a little less tight. These are fairly lightweight socks, especially the top part that is almost a mesh so I am careful putting them on so that I don't yank them right on as I fear they would soon rip.They are advertised as being made in USA though other than a USA logo on the inside of the top of the sock there is nothing on the bulk bag or the sticky paper wrap around each bunch. They are supposed to be 85% cotton and 15% polyester/nylon but again there isn't anything on the wrapper with the company name or the composition of the socks to say what they are made of. In fact what does it say when the wrapper is dual purpose in that if it is wrapped with the left side overlapping and sticking to the right then it displays one size range, and if it is wrapped with the right side overlapping the left then another size range is shown. Not that it is such a bad idea, but going along with the fact that there is no company name, address, phone, or what the socks are made of it does leave me wondering exactly what are these mystery socks made of and where did they come from.Overall I like them and they are comfortable, but I am not so certain that they are going to be long lived as they are none too thick, but they've made it through a couple of washings looking none to worse for wear, though I am not expecting them to be particularly long lived. They do help reduce the pressure that regular crew socks cause so in that respect they are doing what they're intended to do. When there is no company or composition information it does leave me wondering who made these and from what materials.

NOT JUST FOR DIABETIC!I bought these for my dad because he has to struggle to get any other elastic type on and now that's all he'll wear. I gave him a couple packs of white and they were great but for my moms funeral he didn't like the white against his dark suit and good shoes. I bought black one for any future issues do this sort that he needs dark sons. Even though he had other types of dark socks, he still chose to wear these white ones over them. I bought myself some too. In the stores they're wicked too expensive. These let your feet breathe great and are super soft.The ONLY issue I see is if your toenails stick out at all beyond your toe it does rub and definitely make a hole on the soc but easily re stitched with a thread and needle. All cotton too I believe. You can check but they let air in so no more of dads sweaty feet odor lol! I only wish they came in multi colors!

My cardio guy suggested I buy some of these crew socks to control the tightness provided by regular crew socks. One of his routine checks is swelling in the ankles and feet. That is a problem for me and regular socks only increase swelling. Even though this brand is specified for diabetic patients, the socks can be worn satisfactorily by all who do not care for reducing circulation in the lower extremities. I was a skeptic and that lasted only after wearing 2 different pair of socks. My swelling has all but vanished and some of the physical restrictions have been eliminated. For me, they are fine and dandy.These socks have what amounts to a 5 star rating; however, I down rated them one star for the manner in which they are packed. They come 3 to a bundle with 4 bundles included in the price. A good deal overall. When getting ready to open the bundle hide your scissors and knives. Carefully, remove the paper wrapping from itself and socks with ease and patience. I started out with a pair of those really sharp scissors only to be surprised at how easy the socks would cut. How stupid can I be? That's obvious. Slow and easy will do the trick and these socks will get a 5. Bottom line: they work and work well.

I admit I was skeptical when I read some of the reviews about these socks but thought it was worth a try. I am female and wear a size men's 10.5 shoes. I am a large woman and have large calves. All the socks I have ever had made me feel like I had a tight girdle on my ankles and lower legs. After I put these on I plan on throwing away all my other socks. These are so comfortable and they don't slide down. I don't know how they do it... they stay up yet they are not tight. A great buy. Get them, you won't be sorry. I bought size men's 10 - 13. The fit is perfect.

I have now purchased multiple orders of these socks. I was looking for some socks for my mom who struggles with finding socks that don't leave marks on her ankles. She is not diabetic but has had a fair amount of swelling around her ankles since going through quadruple emergency bypass surgery. She loved these so much she wanted me to get her more. I also ordered some for gift bags that me and my coworkers were putting together for a local assisted living home. Everyone that received a bag we put together had nothing but good things to say about the socks. A few even asked where/what kind of socks they were because they liked them so much. This price was so much more reasonable than most diabetic socks.

I was beginning the think there were no socks in the world that would satisfy my husband completely! But when I happened upon these, I was cautiously optimistic. I couldn't wait for them to arrive! Lo and behold, he gave them 2 thumbs up. He has so much difficulty putting his socks on. He has to tug and pull and wrestle for sometimes up to 5 minutes. But these go on easy and he says they are very comfortable. It really is the small things in life that matter sometimes.
