Socks are a problem I have big legs, so elastic leaves indentions. I have tried cutting the tops doesn't really help. calla

I only wear 100% cotton. I like the ones with a little bit of stretch so they don't droop.
I like an ankle sock for the summer and a bit higher for the winter. I wear socks about 345 days a year.

Being diabetic, I also always wear socks with shoes. A couple years ago I "discovered" the "Faded Glory" ladies crew socks (I hate the no show ones) that are sold individually for .97 a pair at Walmart. They are nice and soft, not too thick, wear really well, and do not fade. They are cotton with just a little spanex. They do come in limited colors at our Walmart, but the fact that they actually have two sizes is what originally got my attention. For the first time in my life, my big feet don't feel smashed together inside my sock. (My dad used to tell me I should throw away the shoes and wear the boxes...lol!)

MADAMEKELLY - When I read your post I broke out laughing. My uncle used to tell me the exact same thing.

I wear socks every day. The brand I use is WORLD'S SOFTEST. I think I get them from Women Within. They're about $7 a pair but I've been wearing them for over 5 years and longer. They're thick and cush-y which I need because of knots on the bottom of my feet.

I like Jefferies socks from Yoder Dept Store in Shipshewana Indiana.

Curley toes
 

I too have toes that curl under like your's. If I'm going to be out for long periods of time I cut a standard size band-aid in half lengthwise and wrap my two outside toes, adding a very small amount of antibiotic ointment if needed. This works great for me when I need to wear something besides my usual Easy Spirit athletic-type shoes. (Of course, losing 30 pounds would also help my feet feel better.) :-O

OMG it's so funny you would post this question! I have a thing for Hue microfiber socks. I don't like socks that have a lot of cotton in them because they sag! LOL. I found these socks by Hue about 10 years ago, and I buy 6 pr per year and only in black!

Let us know your favorite, too!

I have several I like
gold toe I get at Herbergs and/or Yonkers
We have a company close (Osage, Iowa) called Fox River great socks
the Hue microfiber ones
I will have to look at Women Within and check out those
when I am traveling I use compression socks (not the medical ones) as when traveling you sit for long periods of time and you also do lots of walking

I get my socks at KMart and the brand name is Joe Boxer, they have a nice cushion bottom.
