IWhat about those people who have swollen ankles? Are they wide enough in a large or extra large so they won't bind?

These socks are extra stretchy. I wear a size 9.5 shoe and bought the large sock. I have plenty of room to go. After standing on my feet for a 12 hour shift, my ankles have a tendency to swell, and I still have plenty of room in them!

They are not tight by any means, nor do they ride down into my shoes.They are very comfortable. However, I would guess that if most socks are tight for you, these will be as well.

They are pretty stretchy and still super soft so I think they'd be worth a try!

I would guess they would be wide enough as the fabric is quite stretchy. They are not a tight fitting sock.

Yes, for me. I have 14EE feet, wear big shoes, these conform magnificently to my ankles. I wore them 18 hours yesterday, mix of driving, walking and standing and only when I took my shoes off at the end did I feel that I had to get these Aircasts off. I love these, worn them about two years and have a spare set if these ever fail. It looks like it will be a long wait to ever use those spares.

They can't hold extra large, only the large. We tried both large and extra large and realized that with the large ones, the results are much better.

You should feel them, but they should not feel tight and uncomfortable. Snug would be about right. I agree with other answers. Control of swelling is a good sign.

Will fit men/women. Excessive weight or large ankles do not make this your best purchase as wear and tear break them over time.

They are really like tube socks. I'm a woman with size 8 1/2 shoe size and they fit fine for me as far as feet go. My problem is really that my ankle and legs are very swollen so the top of the sock is too tight for me around and it goes only half way up my calf. So I had to snip the band at the top and roll them down. But that was a leg problem, not a foot issue. I hope this helps, it's all I've got. :)

I take a size 11 (men's) shoe. So I always try to get an extra-large size in these slip resistant socks, at least. I've found that socks like these which may be issued to an in-hospital patient, have always been too small. The socks will stretch somewhat, but, I feel that it's better to have a large size that you don't have to stretch to make fit. The color doesn't matter to me.

It maybe, may I suggest small, ankle wraps/ braces to give you extra room. Hand wraps 180 or 108 inches for ankles. YouTube Muay Thai ankle wrapping, for better support on ankles and feet, prevent any injury ligaments, tendances, cartilages, especially brusing (flesh or bones) and soreness. Have healthy, safe work out. Take care, remember try to have fun, enjoyable workout and self defense.

I would say so, my ankles are pretty small but there is more than enough room for someone with a larger ankle.

Using the Velcro strap, you can adjust down to pretty small--and you don't want it too tight for circulation's sake. I always used them on my ankles but just put it on my wrist (they are small) and it works--not as good as it does for my ankles but the job gets done. I find these better for medium-small women. Men and larger women might have trouble with them.

I think the ankle support would help your ankles.It is a soft support, but if your ankles swell too much it would certainly bind. Hope this helps.

Hard to say, but I have a wide-ish foot and they are comfortable to me. Of course, thicker socks always helps. I saw that sloggers.com has free returns, and I also saw them at Walmart's website, maybe in stores, I don't know. Our local nursery and OSH carries them so I could try on in the store. Maybe you can do that somehow.

I bought these for my wife through Amazon. there is a chart that fits you to your shoe size, but you seem to have problems that your shoe size may not help. I do know that if you find a pair that will fit your needs they will definitely bring down the swelling in your ankles and calves, in most cases. There are support stockings that zip on, maybe this type may benefit your needs more or talk to your doctor for suggestions.

They probably are if you want them to fit snugly. But that doesn't mean they will fall past your foot. And you could always wrap a small towel or clothing around your ankle first.

I am a size 10 and wear the medium socks. They aren't tight or binding at all. The foot part of the sock does have a tendency to grow towards the end of the day. So while the Large will fit and stay up, you may have the heel sticking out of the top of your shoes by evening. With that in mind, I still love these socks. They are long wearing, stay up without digging in, and comfortable.

They have velcro wraps that wrap the ankle as tightly as one may desire. I like them a lot. Adjustable in 1/2 pound increments.

Yes, the strap on these is very long and I can actually fit them around my thighs so your ankles should be no problem at all.
