Started having numbness in my toes. After doing a lot of things I’ve come to the conclusion that the top of my socks are cutting off my circulation to my feet.

Bought some from Academy that were 12-15 but still at the calf they are really small in diameter.

Where do you buy work socks today that aren’t too tight on your calves?

Wear ankle socks, problem solved. The rest of them pile up on the ankle anyway.

If you have dogs you can just go with no socks and then let them lick your feet clean again.

I get the Dickies brands 12 - 15 from walmart, but they don't go up over your calves like tube socks, they rest above your ankle

Did the diabetes test and it was ok, hadn’t thought about nerve damage.

Thanks

Thanks!

The best socks in the world can be found at the Army Surplus place. Wool, green socks.

Whatever you buy, get them all the same color.

You may also want to consult your PCP or cardiologist. Congestive heart failure can cause your extremities to swell...Could also be an issue in your back around L4/L5.

If those are okay, yeah, ankle socks or no show socks would probably suffice.
