"Wow. I used to be a Bombas fan and was for years partly because of their altruistic approach, giving a pair for every one purchased. They have been great quality socks, honestly, but over the years, they have started to resemble compression socks. When I take them off, my calves and shins are literally deformed. I was looking for something that was just as good but with a little more comfort. Enter Wide Open! Wide Open provides high-quality socks made right here in Vermont, just next door to me in New Hampshire, and I love supporting local businesses. They have excellent customer service—real people, speaking English, ready to help with a smile. That’s rare these days. Even the water bottles I bought from Purist Collection only offer email support and no other options. My Wide Open socks are well-made, comfortable, and I can wear them all day without my legs feeling deformed. They are now my go-to sock company. They should be yours too."

Better socks
"I have always worn Smart Wool or similar. As my legs have aged I get uncomfortable “ sock creases “ and it is not because of fluid retention. These Wide Open socks are. Comforts me and high quality! They solved the annoying issue. Wish I had more of them !!"
Awesome find!
"These socks are perfect and don't feel as snug as many wool socks I have tried, including the original Darn Toughs. Grateful for discovering these socks."
Very comfortable socks
"The previous brand I used to buy all my socks and changed how their socks are made and so I’ve been looking for some new socks for my everyday use. These are very comfortable and they don’t leave my foot sweaty and hot. I think I found my new forever socks."
Big feet, Big socks
"Socks are a great addition to my 12 hour day patrol job. 18,000 steps, 15 flights of stairs daily creates sore feet. These socks soften the blow and keep my feet comfortable."
Finally Comfortable Socks
"These are the perfect socks for my husband. He’s 5’11”, 185#, so he’s not a big guy, but he has large ankle/calfs. He always had huge indentations on his legs from too tight socks. He loves the short crew socks. They’re pricy, but…"
So comfy
"These are the perfect socks for wide legs…the same great quality as Darn Tough but made with a little extra room and stretch. I love them."
Second Purchase
"This is my second order from Wide Open. Like the first ones so much I came back for more."
Great Socks for Seniors!
"I really like these socks. They are easy to put on and very comfortable. As I need to replace my socks, I will purchase Wide Open socks."
Pretty solid
"They are definitely more forgiving than traditional socks around a thicker calf but they still create some indentation on the skin after wearing. For the quality, though, I will keep investing in these"
