Knee Socks
"I love them, this time of year when it is cooler they help keep your legs warm. I'm cold if my legs are cold and these surly fit the bill. The go all the way to the knees and wash without shrinkage. I will be buying more for sure."
THE WIDE OPEN DIFFERENCE
Why Wide?
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.

THE JOURNEY TO NEW HEIGHTS
Since launching Wide Open in 2023, knee highs have been your most requested style. As the makers of the most comfortable, best-fitting, longest-lasting wide socks, we knew we needed to get it right.
2+ YEARS IN THE MAKING
First - to make the best fitting knee high for people with wide legs and feet, we had to design a sock that didn't exist yet. It took a few tries.
200+ PRODUCT TESTERS
Next - we put it to the test. Hundreds of you tried them on, gave us your honest feedback, and provided helpful critiques. We read every comment and took it all back to the mill with new iterations until we made it right.
A knee high sock made to stretch comfortably while staying in place all day
Finally! A knee high sock with enough stretch throughout the calf to go on easily and stay comfortable all day without pinching or constricting. So comfortable you'll forget you’re even wearing them.
WHAT OUR TESTERS ARE SAYING
FAQs
Knit to stretch up to 21" throughout the calf and leg, with a cushioned sole and premium merino wool, Wide Open Knee Highs offer all-day comfort and classic style.
You may be used to sizing up, but we recommend ordering your true size with WIDE OPEN®. Regardless of how wide your feet are (all our socks stretch up to a 4E width), your shoe size is the best indicator of what your WIDE OPEN® sock size will be. View our Size Chart for more information.
Please note that if you’re at the upper end of a size range, we recommend choosing your true size. If you’re directly between sizes, we recommend sizing up. If the size you order ends up not fitting just right, take advantage of our free 90-day exchange policy and send them back for a new size.
Socks should fit snug, but not tight. It should feel like a soft hug for your feet that doesn’t restrict circulation or comfort. Your toes should have room to wiggle, but not so much so that the fabric bunches inside your shoe. Excess fabric around the toes or heel can lead to blisters. A smooth, streamlined fit is key. It’s important to make sure the heel pocket sits right on your heel. If the heel pocket can’t reach your heel, the sock is too small. If the heel pocket sits above your heel at your ankle, it’s too big. If your Wide Opens don’t fit, utilize our 90-day free return and exchange policy to get the right size for you.
Our Knee Highs are designed to pair with just about anything. Wear them under tall boots for extra comfort and coverage, or let them peek out with loafers, flats, sneakers, or ankle boots for a classic, stylish look.
We created Wide Open based on the need for a wider fitting sock. As a member of the Comfort Club, you’ll be asked to provide feedback and share your thoughts about what you like – or don’t like – about our product. Apply to join the Comfort Club and help us make our socks even better.

Too tight
"My calf measures 18.5 inches. I had hoped they would be comfortable but they were far too tight. Additionally, they were heavier that I wanted/needed. I returned them."
Knee High
"Love the socks, live the wide leg, most socks don't come past my ankle. But do not love the price. $30 for 1 pair of socks. No thank you but if it were for 3pair, I might consider it. Too much $$ for me"
Wonderful knee-highs!
"We live in New Hampshire and these warm comfortable knee-highs are just the ticket! Whether out of the house doing chores or shopping, or being in the house on a chilly day these socks fit the bill. I love them and can’t wait to get more!"
