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.
We created the wide sock category simply because there wasn’t one. Everybody and every body deserves a comfortable sock. We researched and innovated to create the best fitting wide socks—no bunching, no binding, and no sacrificing comfort for style.
Sits about halfway up the calf.
Flexible fit to stretch up to 4E width.
Padded sole for soft comfort and impact support.
Soft, breathable, still machine washable.
With globally sourced premium yarns.
We'll replace them free of charge for life.

"I love my new Wide Open socks. They’re very comfortable, easy to put on and take off. …But, my ankles and calfs are NOT wide. So are they wide enough for people with wide calfs? I got my first pair as hand-me-downs from someone with wide calfs who said they aren’t wide enough."
"I usually have trouble with socks being too tight. These fit great. Comfortable & love the design."
"I wish I had ordered a larger size. I wear shoe size 9 wide."
"The socks are very nice but for my feet; especially the one I had 3 surgeries which included a total ankle replacement; they were a little tighter than what I wanted. I guess I need extra wide socks!"
"very cute pattern- comfortable-true to size"
"These socks are roomier in the toes, but they still leave stock dents above my ankles. These sock dents aren’t uncomfortable like the ones left by the Darn Tough socks. I don’t have wide calves or edema. It remains to be seen how these will fit after being washed."
"Advertised as wide 18 inch opening barely stretching to 12 inch. I have large ankles and they weren’t even close to making it over my ankles very very very disappointed for a $25 pair of socks. Great customer service but they need to fix their socks or definitely fix their advertising. It’s false advertising at it’s worse!!!!!!!"
"My friend referred me to these socks because i was experiencing lines on my legs from my regular sock so I was in the market. I love the crew 2pk wide fit socks feel and the designs are cute too, I’ve gotten compliments in my PT class. I’m usually a medium, but I actually prefer the large size for the extra comfort and room. They feel great and don’t feel tight at all. Definitely a good choice if you like a more relaxed fit."
"These socks are very comfortable. I wear them all the time."
"I have been a huge fan of Darn Tough socks for years, but picked up a pair of Wide Open at the sale in Northfield, and I absolutely love them. My legs are not really overweight at all, but I have some neuropathy, and having socks that aren't as tight is just lovely. So now, I will be building up a bunch of Wide Open socks. I hope you make some more that are summer weight. Can't wait to snag some at the sale. You are a great company that does our great state of Vermont proud! Oh, and the designs are super cute also."
