I have tried many different pairs of socks in the past but have not been able to find one that matches the description. I was amazed when I put the first Ubersox on my leg. It was so comfortable, warm, soft and didn't irritate my neuropathy. Diabetic socks don't feel that good. I have to wear work boots with heavy safety socks 9 hours a day on concrete floors and Ubersox are the only socks I've found that I want to wear when I get home from work. My feet stay dry and the socks are stretchy enough for my large calves. I recommend trying socks!
