IncrediwearCirculation Socks – Women’s and Men’s Crew Socks (Grey, Small)

Shoe size women's 9.5 to 10.These socks are the best socks I've ever found and have been searching for years. As a plus size, with a 1 size difference between my feet These fit perfectly. I have flat feet, probate, and fatty lipomas on my arches. These socks are so soothing and comfortable and supportive WITHOUT binding and hurting my feet at all. Would happily recommend, and do! You're never going to want to own any other socks! So grateful for incrediwear!

Hugs foot with a comfortable feel. Foot feels better with these socks on. Didn't realize my old pair is ten years, and they look and fell like new after hundreds of washes and tosses in the dryer. Runs small, so order up a size.

They work almost as well as the Trek hiking socks- which have better ankle support and more of the tingly energizing feeling to them. But the hikers are tighter on top (not extremely so) and these have no compression on the leg and are more comfortable. But they don't fall down. I am not a diabetic but my ankles always swell, so I think I'll prefer these in Summer, though they are warm. The tingly sensation I get with the hikers actually makes my feet feel cold- these don't have it as much and aren't cold. These are also sold by the company as "circulation socks". The white and black ones have porcelain fibers and are different. Only the gray ones have the charcoal for the tingle. There is only one part of the sock that is slightly uncomfortable for me- on both these and the hikers: the instep has compression. I have a very high instep and this area gets sore sometimes. If you have an average instep, they won't hurt. They are far more comfortable than any compression socks I have tried, and they do help keep your feet from getting tired or cramped. They also don't have to be washed daily. They dry fast and don't stink.

comfy socks but stop marketing it as compressive

My hands and feet are especially sensitive to cold. I usually deal with the situation by putting Hot Hands handwarmers in my boots and gloves. Also, since I work outdoors, I change socks at least once during the day. Since that process keeps me from being miserable, but far from ideal, I thought I would give these socks a try. These socks made absolutely no difference to the warmth of my feet. In fact, they are less effective than a good pair of wool socks. I don't recommend this product!! Instead, save about ten bucks and buy some good wool socks that are warmer and much more durable!

Why write a review for socks, because these work!I am diabetic, and I spend 8 hours a day on my feet, not a good combination, but these socks make all the difference. I have tried most other diabetic socks with varying success, but these are the first that make my feet feel better. Normal socks bite in to my skin and can cause irritation, but these never leave a mark, and yes, they do increase circulation. How do I know, because with these socks at the end of the day my feet are not swollen. Another good thing, your feet won't sweat as much, and with the anti-microbial germanium, if you suffer from "stinky feet" these will kill that dead.The down side, they are not cheap, seriously $25 for a pair of socks, but once you wear them you will see that they are worth every penny, and they do seem to last a lot longer than normal socks.

I gave those socks to a friend who has gout. His foot was swollen so much that he could not wear shoes. He wore them over a week end and when he came back to work, he had shoes on. They really work well.

UPDATE AND WARNING!Ok, This is my 2016 opinion. I stopped wearing these for the simple reason that they did not hold up well. The elastic wore out too fast, so they would slip down all the time. After a number of washings, I really felt the socks turn into a worthless piece of junk that just clutters my sock drawer. And the smooth, glossed-over, starchy stiff sole ... it's just unbearable when combined with a sock that slips down. Now I have some really big calves, but I dare say this is not an unusual situation nowadays.Furthermore, I am wondering if the recent FTC hammering of retailers for $1.3million will give anyone pause? Because major retailers just got a big spanking for calling fabric (especially socks) "Bamboo" when they were selling Rayon. Ok, here is the quote:"The Federal Trade Commission announced complaints and proposed court orders barring four national retailers from mislabeling and advertising rayon textiles as made of “bamboo,” and requiring them to pay civil penalties totaling $1.3 million.Under the court orders settling the FTC’s charges, Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. will pay $500,000; Nordstrom, Inc. will pay $360,000; J.C. Penney Company, Inc. will pay $290,000; and Backcountry.com LLC will pay $150,000 for allegedly violating the FTC Act and the agency’s Textile Rules.“It’s misleading to call bamboo that has been chemically processed into rayon simply ‘bamboo,’” said Jessica Rich, Director of the Bureau of Consumer Protection."My question to the company is: do you have any corroboration for calling this fabric "charcoal bamboo" and is it any different from Rayon, or what the industry calls viscose? I am under the impression that the glossiness and stiffness of the socks indicates a type of fabric that gets crushed and does not rebound... ever. And since I have rarely ever bought a sock made of rayon, I don't know what they do after some amount of wear. All I am thinking is that acrylic and to a lesser degree wool gets matted down. Cotton tends to deteriorate or thin out and wool does to a lesser degree. But my gray Incredisocks have a stiff sole and heel section, an insole that is still flexible and in excellent shape, and a weak ankle section. A picture wouldn't show the crispy sole... they look ok, but feel awful.Just FYI: the viscose rayon fabric type is well over a 100 year old process of fabric manufacture, and it pretty much turns wood pulp into a semi-synthetic textile. If the wood pulp comes from bamboo, pine, or fir, the end result is still the same: rayon. Whether this product is rayon, I have no idea, but I do not like it despite my initial reaction and "Wow" review. I wish the initial feel had remained.[Original 5-star Review]Wow, all I can say is wow. For socks that costs more than some shoes, you would hope that it lives up to the hype. It does. I liked it from the first day I put it on.I will have to see how it performs as to wet stinkiness, but so far I have noticed that wearing it for 2 days, it did have an odor. The impression you get from their brochures and testimonials say that you can wear them for a week and they won't stink, but not in my case.Otherwise, they are very warm, and they can replace wearing house shoes on cold days. They will keep your feet as warm or warmer than wearing regular white socks and a tennis shoe.Get the gray socks. I called and asked their customer support agent why there is a difference in the composition of the socks. It turns out that the gray socks have their best composition, because I guess that charcoal fiber is truly gray in itself. They told me that the white and black socks have a composition similar to the competitor white and black socks that are available for less money. So charcoal bamboo I found out is actually bamboo that has been burned, meaning that you can't easily change its color I guess.Anyway, I have only one pair of these, so I can't wait until they are laundered and ready in my sock drawer. I tried a few different white diabetic socks, too, but so far none of them were much different than a regular mass-market sock.FIRST UPDATE: I didn't deduct any stars, but I did want to say that they do seem to be loose at times and slip down. I find myself tugging on them a lot. The other thing is that nothing beats a true wool or even thick cotton ankle-length sock for cold days. This winter has been brutally cold and these thin socks just aren't warm enough. Obviously they aren't intended for the winter of the century type of cold!

Great socks.

I really like these socks. Warm in winter, but not overly hot in the summer (when compared to other socks of the same thickness).They are better than most socks at not causing wear rings on my legs, but they still are a bit tight for me, especially if I have to sit for long periods travelling or in meetings.I have both the black and the grey. I prefer the colour of the black, but the grey feel and wash the nicest. So I use the grey the most.I wash them in the washing machine, but hang them to dry. They dry fairly quickly, especially for their thickness.

Warm on the feet, snug where it matters for comfort on the foot but not constricting, which is great. While they don't construct, they also don't fall down! They also have no troublesome seams. I have purchased many Incredisocks of different styles and they are of very good quality. A bit pricey but I still buy them because they are good.

ComfortableGood fittingDo not constict

Perfect relief for my husbands sore feet, thank you
