BODIES COME IN

ALL SHAPES AND SIZES.

SOCKS SHOULD TOO.

Legs with wide feet and ankles surrounded by a bunch of question marks

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?

Everybody needs socks, but not every body is the same. People with wide legs, ankles, or feet are underserved (and rightfully unhappy) because after years of searching, they still can’t find a sock that fits.

WHO ARE WE TO HELP?

We heard the problem and knew we could answer. Backed by over 45 years of sock-making experience, we developed a wider, more inclusive fit based on your feedback, and one year later launched Wide Open Socks.

BEFORE THAT, PEOPLE WERE FORCED TO HACK IT THEMSELVES...

    Buying Oversized Socks

    All that extra material for what? A tiny bit of comfort? Seems counterintuitive, not to mention like a breeding ground for blisters.

  • Illustration of an eye that's been crossed out (because you can't see no show socks)

    Buying Only No Shows

    They’re the only socks that fit wide calves. Sure, that might fly during warm season. But what about when winter rolls along?

    Shearing Socks like Sheep

    No reasonable person should be forced to clip their cuffs in search of comfort. Thrifty or not, there’s a better way.

  • Illustration of money bursting into flames

    Overspending on Socks

    Unless your doctor prescribes them, nobody should be overspending on speciality/medical-grade footwear.

THE SOLUTION

You can now buy wide socks that fit, no hacking required. Easy on, easy off, and easy everything in between – that is our mission.

Our Mission

SOCK PATTERNS AND STANDARDS DON'T EXIST FOR WIDE LEGS AND FEET,

SO WE'RE CREATING THEM.

Four hands stretching a Wide Open sock from all directions to show how wide it gets

THE INNOVATION

In one year, we stretched our socks – and our imaginations – to the limit, developing a Wide Flex Stretch™ system that fits feet up to 
4E in width.

  • Close up of two hands inside a sock cuff stretching it out to show width

    Wide Flex Stretch™

    Extra stretch in the cuff, leg, ankle, and foot. That means easy on, easy off, and easy everything in between.

  • Closeup of wide open socks on a leg looking at the cuff, which stays in place without squeezing

    Just-Right Cuff

    The perfect stretch that’s not too tight or restrictive. Lined with smooth alternate stitches for all-day comfort.

  • Closeup on the toe area of a Wide Open sock, showing how there's no seam, allowing for an extra wide toe box

    True Seamless™ Toe

    No seams mean no place where the stretch is interrupted. You might not notice it, 
but your toes will.
