Big mistake
"Should have ordered men's socks. These socks were as tight as all other socks I own. There is no give when the area above my ankles start swelling. The swelling isn't terrible, but enough that there are marks around that area."

"Should have ordered men's socks. These socks were as tight as all other socks I own. There is no give when the area above my ankles start swelling. The swelling isn't terrible, but enough that there are marks around that area."
"These socks are supposed to be for folks with wide feet and ankles…mine are actually pretty narrow. I tried these because I can’t stand how fancy sport socks have gotten with extra padding in places and/or tight bands to offer arch support. All of these modifications ruin socks for me. I just want simple, quick dry, comfortable socks. No nonsense. These fit the bill perfectly. My only wish is that they would offer more colors for the lightweight quarters."
"These socks would be a favorite if they were wider. Of all the Wide Open socks I have in a women’s XL, they fit the tightest. My toes and ankles are squeezed even after being worn a while. At the end of the day, I take them off and feel relief. But, I do like the weight of the material."
"I was really looking forward to these socks. I thought I finally found a brand that worked. However, I was very disappointed. Only after a few hours of wearing them I discovered that hey left marks on my ankles. That’s not good. I now have two pair of socks that I used and two pair of socks that I won’t and can’t wear. That’s a lot of money wasted!!"
"So comfortable, I love that they don’t squish my toes and that they’re wool!"
"I have been trying every brand of socks made, o think, looking for the perfect weight and fit. The Wide Open socks are what I’ve been searching for! Perfect weight. Not too stretchy but stretchy enough. Super comfortable around my ankles. I will be getting more."
"I absolutely love the height of these socks! My feet are happiest if my sock extends beyond the top of my shoes. I've been searching for this height for some time, and finally found it. My only wish is that these socks were softer. Washing them did not change their feel."
