I bought these socks because I worked with Dr. Scholl and I have heard others say that they find diabetic socks more comfortable. Maybe yes, but they felt free from the moment I put them on. They felt flimsy and flimsy compared to another brand of diabetic socks my wife had. It's not surprising that while they reportedly came up in size and fit well on the leg, they didn't stay in place. I had to constantly tighten or rearrange them. After a relatively short walk, they gathered in my boot. With peripheral vascular disease or other foot problems, these socks gave me blisters quickly. Before I get into that concept, I'm going to try another brand of diabetic socks, but I can promise you that these will be the first and last pair from Dr. Scholls I will buy.
