Reviews
Men's Ankle Length
"This is my first purchase with Wide Open. I have wide feet; not because of any medical issues just because I apparently have some duck DNA. I have worn the socks multiple times and they have been through the washing machine too. I am satisfied with the fit, quality, and durability of the socks and will likely order more."
Awesome
"I love them! Finally socks that don't squeeze my toes together."
Love the cushioning!
"These socks are comfy and easy to put on and take off. The cushion is phenomenal. Only one thing I do not like……the socks creates an indentation around my ankles after sitting or standing for a while. The indentation is noticeable, but not uncomfortable."
Ankle socks
"They are nice quality. I have a size 14 foot. I bought XXL. The size runs 14 to 17. I like my socks very loose in the toe. I have not seen the size 17. After washing I have to stretch them a lot. Stretching gets to size 14/15 at most. They are nice quality but tight on my toes!!"
"Good feel, not crazy thick like my other wool socks for camping but a good thick."
"Good wide toe but too little cushioning."
Finally, the answer
"Having been curious about how socks perform, and the ones that let air pass through, and the ones that feel ultimate, I have finally found my answer. I have tried so many socks that were super sheer and nylon based, and even cotton versions hoping that that would alleviate my problems, but it only made my feet look deformed as the socks would curl my toes in. Having a wide toe box can be a hassle with the conventional socks on the market today. However, Wide Open has the cure for me. The feel alone is priceless. The fit is spot on without crushing or binding my feet at any angle. The price was a bit more than I thought it would be, but in the long run (no pun intended) each sock is worth its weight for sure. I will be looking to purchase more as I weed out the old. You rock!"
Too thick
"I love the socks. The only problem is they are too thick to fit in my shoes."
Not the same
"I was very disappointed to have ordered what I thought were the same ankle socks that are already in my sock drawer. The design is different and the ribs are gone. The fit is much snuggereven though I got the XXL. I thought I was a Wide Open customer for life but this design change and fit differences has me wondering."
