The upper-calf top is knit wide and given real stretch, so it opens up over a swollen foot and ankle and then sits on the calf without gripping. If ordinary socks leave a ring or will not go past the ankle at all, this is the one to try. Sold in two-pair packs.

Care & Construction
A plush acrylic knit with extra cushioning underfoot, rising to the upper calf, finished with a wide non-binding top and a smooth toe seam. Knit on knitting machines in Alabama and made in the USA. Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. No bleach or fabric softener.
Sizing & Fit
Three sizes, all based on your everyday shoe size. Medium fits shoe sizes 6–8, Large fits 9–12, X-Large fits 12–14. Between sizes, go up. The top is non-binding, so it holds gently without a tight elastic band.
Shipping & Returns
Free shipping on every order, with no minimum to hit. Orders leave the warehouse within 1–2 business days. Every pair carries a 1-year replacement guarantee: if a sock gets a hole or wears out within a year, send it back and we'll replace it free.
The softest and warmest sock we make
A plush knit with extra cushioning and the widest, stretchiest top we make, so it goes over a swollen ankle or a wide calf without a fight.
A TOP THAT STRETCHES
Room for a wide calf or a swollen ankle
EASY ON, EASY OFF
No wrestling match at 7 a.m.
The wide opening and the give in the knit mean you are not fighting the sock onto your foot. Roll it down to the heel, slip your foot in, unroll it up the leg. Ten seconds, sitting down, no help needed.
For legs that have covered a lot of ground
Men who want a sock that stays up on its own, never digs in, and feels good at home or out. A gentle hold, no tight band.
WARMTH
For feet that are always cold
The plush acrylic holds warmth through the foot and up the calf, which is the point of it for cold feet in the evening and cold feet in bed. Still light enough to wear inside a shoe or a slipper.
PLUSH AND CUSHIONED
Soft enough for sensitive skin
A deep, plush knit with extra cushioning underfoot and a smooth, flat toe seam that leaves no ridge to rub. Nothing scratchy, nothing bulky across the toes. Knit on knitting machines in Alabama, with a 1-year replacement guarantee on every pair.

Frequently Asked Questions
If your question isn't here, give us a call.
What makes these different from your cotton socks?
They are softer and warmer. A plush acrylic knit with extra cushioning instead of cotton, and a wider upper-calf top with far more stretch, so it goes over a swollen foot and ankle and sits on a wide calf without gripping.
How do I wash them?
Machine wash cold and tumble dry low. Skip bleach and fabric softener, and they will keep their shape.
How do the sizes run?
Three sizes, all based on your everyday shoe size. Medium fits shoe sizes 6–8, Large fits 9–12, X-Large fits 12–14. Between sizes, go up.
Will they fit a wide calf or a swollen ankle?
That is what the top is built for. It is knit wide with real stretch, so it opens over a swollen foot and ankle and then holds gently on the calf. If you are unsure, go up a size, and call us on (800) 214-0218 if it is still not right.
What is the 1-year replacement guarantee?
If a pair gets a hole or wears out within a year of buying it, send it back and we'll replace it free.

My adult Autistic son loves them! We were trying to find these USA diabetic socks everywhere here to no avail. We used to get them in Goodwill stores. But these are great and an answer to our prayers. We will keep buying them 🇺🇲.
M
I have been using the Ultra Soft socks from DSC for a little over a year. I have given all my other socks away and I am in the process of putting DSC ultra soft in as the only ones I wear. I’m well on my way to totally replacing my supply. I have never worn a more comfortable pair of socks in cold or warm weather conditions.
P
I’ve been wearing diabetic socks for 10 years and these are the softest and most comfortable I own.
J
The sock were delivered fast and fit well, have not worn any other socks since. The are soft on top, and have extra soft bottoms. Will be ordering more very soon. Thanks diabetic sock club!
R
I am very happy with the compression socks. They are well made and comfortable. I have never had diabetic socks before so I can’t say I am happy with them. They seem to be very good quality but I don’t know that I will be wearing them. I wore one pair one day and my legs swelled.
N

They are comfortable socks but the band on the top of the socks still leaves a mark
R
Quality socks , quality workmanship
C
Best Socks ever! My husband loves these! His old ones were not only hard to get on and off but they also were so tight they left marks as if his ankles were being strangled. Thank you!
G
These are the most comfortable I've ever worn. Have been buying them for years! I don't wear anything else. Soft and comfortable all day.
J
They are to loose to help the circulation in my legs. Diabetic socks need to be tight. These socks are useless.
J
Good socks, but would prefer a darker color like grey or brown
N
I've been wearing the MEN'S COTTON DIABETIC ANKLE SOCKS for the past few days and am very happy with them. Actually, I'm a woman with a very large foot, bunions, orthotics and varicose veins. I wear them over my support hose because all my shoes are too large. The great thing about these socks is that they don't bind my foot or ankle (unlike other socks I've tried) so they don't cause leg pain. This is a big blessing! Thank you for a fine product.
S
