Loose Fit Stays UpMarled Merino Wool Men's and Women's Sock 2 Pack

My feet are 15 Wide, and my son gave me a set of the Extra Large for Christmas. He did that because my prior experience has been that Extra Large socks, generally advertised as 12-15, usually stop about size 13, especially after they are washed.Not these!They are still a little long after washing, but I can position the heels, and they stay put...don't slip and gather where they're not wanted.These Larges fit perfectly, and I expect them to continue to do so after their first wash. Warm! They aren't as thick as others I have had, but keep my feet comfortable worn as house slippers. In boots or shoes in the snow they are very warm and comfortable. So far, definitely worth the price!5/18/2024 A bit of an update...After wearing the socks through the cold months, I like them, but both the large and XL are diffiucult to put on. Even the Extra Larges are a bit tight, and I have to roll them on and position the heels, or, like another reviewer, they are up the back of my leg, although not as far as his. A little looser wouldn't hurt either size. But...I still like them, and the fact they are made in the USA.

Bought these for my husband, who has swelling in his legs and feet and can’t really wear shoes comfortably anymore. Regular compression socks were too thin, wear out crazy fast if you wear them around the house without shoes, and looked too “medical”. These are nice and thick, looks like casual boot socks, and stay up without TOO much pressure. Hubby likes them a lot, and the padding on the sole is thick enough to give him a bit of cushion around the house. They’ve proven to be very durable and the wool is breathable. Not too hot or too cold. Husband has a 13D foot, and long legs, and the large fit him perfectly—heel and toes where they were supposed to be and the top of the sock pulled up pretty much knee high. Check the suggested sizing, because I normally would have purchased an XL or extended size “tall” sock for him.

These wool socks are comfortable and thick. They don't pinch my lower leg as hard as other brands, and as promised they don't slide down. I have a pair of expensive leather boots that fit slightly too roomy, and these socks helped improve the fit of the boots. Highly recommended!

These are a well constructed sock that live up to their name. They indeed a very comfy loose fitting sock that really does stay up! They would have received 5 stars but the length of the foot part of the sock is too long in comparison to the length of the calf. Where the heel is intended to be actually goes 3 or 4 inches past the heel and up the back of my leg. In spite of that, they are still super comfy and yes, they stay up!

If you’re really interested in wool socks then read to the bottom of this review. I have been looking FOREVER for WOOL socks that will pull over my big feet and not cut off the circulation in my legs. Well, the company, EXTRA WIDE SOCK COMPANY, that makes these socks, speaks the truth!! I wear a size 12 shoe and I am about 80 pounds over weight so this is a feat (no pun intended) to find. I have ordered wool socks from everywhere. Some I couldn’t even get on and others left a deep ring on my leg. My husband is average build and even thin people sometime have just a very very slight impression from some socks, even with the right fit. OMG, FINALLY, these socks are soft, feel so smooth on your feet, no seam that can be felt over your toes, cozy warm, just the right height and no deep marks on our legs. Can’t wait to have warm feet now on our Arctic trip. Thank you Amazon for hooking up with such a great USA FAMILY OWNED COMPANY. They know their stuff and you both are the cherry on top of our trip. I will update the review upon our return.THANK YOU 🥾🥾

The reason no sock manufacture with thousands of reviews on a sock line can break 69% on 5 stars, is because sock manufacturers aren't doing it right. These socks as many others should get even worse reviews, but people are "sizing up". (in spite of Amazon's data)I wear a size 13.5 or 14 shoe, but I don't have fat or athletic chunky calves or ankles, yet I typically have to buy the largest socks size available. In this particular brand line, that's the 15 1/2 - 19 (Xtra Large) on the sizing chart. Otherwise the socks will be too tight and too short.When I size up , the looseness/tightness balance is just perfect. I don't know about other people, but when I put on socks, I pull them up as high as they will go. These socks will reach the knee initially (I'm 6' 1" tall) and then when I move around they settle to just below the knee. The problem with these socks is the heel is 6 inches up the back of my calf. This makes no sense. Because even going from Men's 11 to Men's 16 is barely an inch increase. Going from Men's 8 to Men's 12 is barely an inch. What I'm getting at is that multiple shoe sizes, even 5 or 6 shoe size increase will barely add an inch to an inch and half to a shoe length. Yet these size "15 1/2 to 19" Xtra Large socks have a heel located a full 19 to 20 inches from the toe when stretched on. Nobody, not even Shack has a 20 inch foot. That's not how shoe sizes work.But these are some of the best made, most comfortable socks I've bought, in spite of the fact that the heel of the socks is halfway up my leg. And I do NOT have a small foot!!! (size 13.5)It's just idiotic really. Sock manufacturers are clearly not collecting any significant amounts of data, or their data is bad, or their analysis is bad. If they actually looked at who was buying their socks and how they wore them, they'd see that their Xtra Large would fit people with large, chunky or muscular calves, but the heel is all wrong for the vast majority.For the Xtra Large heel to fall in the right place, you would have to be an absolute giant, with thin legs, and they would have to roll their socks on with no pulling or stretching because the heel will easily move up the calf.I just ignore it, and treat them like tube socks, except I make sure they're "right side up" when I put them on. These are my goto socks for cold weather, I even double up on them when we get below zero. Quality is excellent. It's just the geometry is all wrong. If they were smart they'd make these without a heel location.

These socks are for my husband who is ill. They have a % of wool and are good quality, warm & stretchy. They do stay up. They are roomy and non-constricting, They are thick. Love them

Kept my feet warm and comfortable without binding.
