The sock industry was built around standard sizing. But what is the standard? Who is the standard?
Bodies come in all shapes and sizes, socks should too.

"I'm a man and I have wide feet and have always found that even really high end socks are often too tight. Wide Open Socks are just so comfortable. hey are expensive but worth every penny. There is only one change I would request. It is hard to understand what the real length of the different styles. A sentence explaining the differences would be helpful. The ones I just got are great but they are much longer than I had expected and wanted."
"Ordered, days later their shipping company got the purchase to a facility 41 miles from us. They sat there all day Sunday. . . all day Monday. . . all day Tuesday. . . all day Wednesday and then we’re lost. Boooooo"
"Overall happy…little snug at mid foot and ankle"
"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."
"I have a ton of darn tough socks these are just as amazing but fit so much better for my foot shape 😁😁"
"Or somebody that has big feet it is hard to find socks that fit right after several washings. I’ve had my first pair of Wide opens for over a year now, and they still feel as good as they did when I first purchased them. I highly recommend. I do wish they made a taller sock that would come up over my calves."
"Socks are too small and very tight. They don't stretch at all. They say there size 15-17. That's not accurate. If it was. These Socks would be loose. There not. Wasted $50 for 2 pairs of these Wide Open socks."
"Quality socks which are roomy yet provide an excellent fit and very easy to put on and take off. Different from today’s regular socks which are skimping on material to save money resulting in tight fits. I ordered two pairs of your wide open socks just to try—- I am ordering more today and have convinced my wife to give them a try."
"There should be a size ( heighth) between micr crew and crew. Other than that they’re perfect"
"Perfect In every way!"
