I have read several posts/threads on socks but.... I do not see any information about which brands have real stretch in the ankle area. All "normal" socks in department stores seem made for 5 inch teen ankles. I need walking socks that don't become tourniquets for my older-woman slightly bigger ankles. I am mall-walking now but hope to progress to real hikes by summer.
I also prefer soft rather than rough feeling socks. Can anyone recommend a woman's walking/hiking sock brand that has a genuine non-binding ankle? Thanks for brand names and sock names if appropriate.
I like Balega socks for running. They are very soft and I've never had problems with blisters wearing them through two marathons and a lot of other running. I like soft socks too and like the feel of these:
Thanks, Acid. I looked at the site. Did not see ankle length but will look again. I also could not tell how tight they are but will check their reviews. TX.
I don't remember the brand, but I used to buy socks for my mother-in-law from FootSmart.com. She had extremely large, swollen feet and ankles and legs. They have socks for all sizes of people, and many are recommended for PWD.
