are the top edges binding, or is there some looseness to them? I have some swelli g of the ankles, and can't have socks that bind. thanks!

Hi Andrea, If swelling of the ankles is a problem, you might want to give these a pass. The entire sock fits snugly. I don't find that the top is any tighter than the rest of the sock; the whole sock, however, is snug. My husband, found them a bit too close-fitting for his comfort. Hope this info is useful to you. If there are further questions, ask away.

They stretch out more than regular socks, but I don't know what kind of material it is. I'm not diabetic, but just like loose socks, so they worked great for me. I ordered 5 pairs, but could use some more because I don't like to wear my other ones.

Hi, sorry I dont have the sock on me right now to check the tag. You should ask the seller. I can tell you that they feel like average quality socks. Meaning they are comfortable, but not plush. I hope that helps.

On mine, the tongue stayed in place very well. The only issue I have with the tongue is that if I do not place it where I want it when I cinch them down it does have a tendency to irritate my ankle. Over all one of the best MTB I've worn for the price and they are holding up very well.

I have had no problems with them slipping. You might try wrapping something on the ankle under your weights to help hold them tighter.

I feel like the size of your foot has less to do with the fit than size of your ankle. I have very slender ankles and these fit snuggly with a sock underneath. I'm not sure I'd recommend them if you're on your feet as often, or for as long, as mail carriers are.

I have worn these with sneakers and cleats. I would say they are tight at first if the shoes are new and if you are not used to using ankle braces. I recommend either getting a bigger size in your shoes or try breaking them in over time.

Hi Patricia, I wear mine under my sock or a knee high. If I put my foot into a shoe with the toes sticking out that would not feel good to me. A sock over the sleeve sock keeps it cleaner too in my humble opinionMarji

For me the socks were not over the calf. I found them to run small in size and I gave them away. I went to the local BIG store and bought some diabetic socks.

Hello, These socks are WARM, and thought I love them for fall and winter, my feet do get rather toasty in them. I'm thinking these may not be the socks for you; the dense weave, which makes them super strong, does trap heat. Again, good for winter wear, but if your feet need more breathability in socks, then I don't think I'd go with Darn Toughs.

As far as I know they are the regular fit. From my perspective they are not tight or binding.

These socks are loose on the ankles. They are lower than the ones I have purchased in the store and not as good quality however they serve the purpose. A great number of socks for the price.

Yes, I use thigh high ones. It is important to pull the sock over frame until you get to the heel. The heel material is noticeable so you can see it and stop after it is pulled to top. I found if I put my foot into the sock at that time then I had enough toe room. The form cannot be pulled all the way up the leg but having help on the lower part of leg made all the difference in getting socks on.

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. :)

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 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.

I usually wear mine without socks or thin socks and it is a perfect fit. You may want to go up a size with thick socks, but you run the chance of them being too big. When I bend down, mine do not crease, the elastic material spreads out for your ankle area. One note I would add is the fact that compared to the lower ankle pair these are very hard to pull off. You can't just use your other foot at the heal to pop them off. I use my other pair much more, the pair with the low ankle.
