Still too tight
"I bought some Wide Open for my husband. He has thicker ankles/calves than men his weight range. He is not obese but has thick calves. I got your socks because I thought they would stay up better than diabetic socks (he is not diabetic, but regular socks practically cut his legs). He loves your merino wool but your socks still leave a lot of indentation in his legs. I didn’t expect this with the Wide Open socks. They were a little better before the first wash so they definitely shrank too much after the first wash, in cold water. I have been a customer of your Darn Tough socks for years and I know you have a premium product. I selected “uncomfortable “ because of the tightness on the calves, but they are comfortable otherwise."
