"I was converted to toe socks as a result of going to barefoot/minimalist footwear. There are occasions where toe socks don’t cut it so I have been in search of a sock with a wide toe box. The challenge with a wide toe box is that it can’t have too much material causing it to clump up in the shoe. Wide Open seems to have the right balance of stretch allowing toes to splay without being sloppy. Also appreciate the extra space throughout the sock. So far so good…time will tell."
"The XLs are better than the Ls that your site recommended, but still tight on my 10-1/2s. And the way they shrink in the wash is like some kind of magic trick."
"Bought these for my significant other who fights edema in his ankles. These socks are not just comfortable for him but also helps with his independence with dressing. Will be purchasing more. So happy I found these."
"My toes always felt squeezed so I gave Wide Open Men's Micro Crew Socks a try. I am very satisfied with the comfort and extra toe room they provide."
"These are expensive, but they are very comfortable. When I wash them, they look shrunken to small to ever fit. They come back to size easily and still do not leave indentation on my legs. I am very happy so far."
"The socks are great in the feet. I have very wide feet and calves. Feet are fine, calves are not. I don't fit in normal socks my calves are just too thick. I was hoping these would work. If the calves were looser I would be happy. I don't want diabetic socks I am not diabetic I am a rugby prop."
"Pain relief for neuropathy while still being comfortable. Who knew?"
"Was worried id ordered rhe wrong socks as we didnt need a wide sock, but they fit and feel great!"
"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."
"Very comfortable. Relieves pain!"
