I like these socks because even though I'm not diabetic they are a loose comfortable fit. They only downside that I have found is that even though I've bought these for years I think it's possible they're being made cheaper. The heel seems to always get a hole in them. I know that happens over time normally but they don't last as long as they used to. I wear these in the same type of work shoes for years so I think what's changed is the sock material. Other than that I recommend them.
