I have a pair of the socks and really like them except that I need an X-LARGE but I do not wear a size 13 shoe. I wear a 9 so the foot of the sock is way too long. I have to either bunch it up on my foot or turn it over at the toes and neither one are comfortable. Any suggestions ? I need another pair because I wear them every day
I have tried others. I have large calfs. I really need for swelling when traveling. I do not have vein or other’s problems. Would you suggest booms?
