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.

Sizing & Fit
Three sizes, all based on your everyday shoe size. Medium fits shoe sizes 7–10, Large fits 10–13, X-Large fits 13–15. Between sizes, go up. The top is non-binding, so it holds gently without a tight elastic band.

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.

Room for a wide calf or a swollen ankle

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 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.

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 7–10, Large fits 10–13, X-Large fits 13–15. 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.
