Fantastic Feel-
These socks are like no other I have ever worn. They feel like your foot is in powder. So softy and silky. Very comfortable.

Socks for sensitive feet -
First socks that I have found that I was able to wear ( toes are so sensitive that I have had to cut the toes out of my socks in the past ). Will probably buy more of these soon.

Great socks! My husband uses these not because he has a medical condition, but because most other socks do not fit his ankles comfortably. Also these work well for warm climates-a real advantage.

Best For Sensitive Feet -
I can't believe the difference a pair of socks can make. These are absolutely wonderful. My feet have gotten more sensitive and with these socks I can be on my feet all day and still be in comfort. I originally found at a store in Ketachan, AK when our cruise stopped there....I have thrown away all my old socks and have gone to these only....

Non-Constricting Socks!
I'm not diabetic, but since a knee surgery last year I have had daily lower leg and ankle swelling. These socks don't constrict at the top, so I no longer have a deep "ring" grooved around the ankles when I get home from work.

Cool and comfortable -
I'm not diabetic, but wanted a light, cool sock which would wash and dry quickly that I could use while travelling. This fits the bill.

Socks Don't Shrink -
These socks stay up without binding. They don't shrink after repeated washings. Little too baggy in the toes. Overall, a great sock.

Good Socks But Not Great Socks -
1. These socks run quite large. I wear 8-1/2 4E shoes so I normally wear socks for size 9-10 shoes. My first order was for the "large" size. They were huge. I returned the socks and reordered the "medium" size. They fit snug but fine. I surely wouldn't want them to be any smaller though.
2. If you don't get the heel of your foot fully into the sock's heel, the socks will tend to slide down the foot. However, if you fully seat your heel into the sock then it remains properly positioned on the foot.
3. The elastic at the top of the sock fits poorly!!! It places a ring on the leg. Really bad design here.
4. My feet perspire excessively. Hence, one of the reasons I chose these socks. The "cool-max" fabric keeps my feet, and shoes, quite dry. 10-stars for the "cool-max" fabric.
5. All-in-all, a good sock but not a great sock.

I am very pleased with the socks. The only complaint I have is that they are a bit too snug at the top for my large ankles; however, better than I have found elsewhere.

Comfort but not padded -
Nice looking, comfortable socks, but not as padded for a walking sock as I expected. They do look good with khakis and suits.

Diabetic Walker Sock Review -
Sock has a problem staying up because it keeps getting eaten by the shoe. Requires constant pulling up to get the excess out of the shoe which is a real annoyance!

Diabetic walker -
I was thrilled to find these socks. But alas, they won't stay up! They walk down in my shoes and cause aggravation and discomfort. I’ll be returning the 4 pair that haven't been worn. I wore two pair on a trip when I first received them, or I’d return all 6 pairs.

My husband is enjoying wearing these socks very much. Comfort and looks go a long way with him. Thanks for such a neat product.

These are too narrow for my feet since I wear wide width shoes. They did not give enough stretch. They are good quality.

Too tight!
I ordered these for my mom because her feet sometimes swell. She is of 'regular' size but they went on tight and just got tighter. They have now gone to my daughter who is 'petite' and without foot swelling. She thinks they are very comfy.

I won\'t buy these again:\r\n\r\n1) EXPENSIVE!\r\n2) Socks length is to mid-calf, they don\'t stay up.\r\n\r\nThe socks do feel slightly better than the socks they replaced.\r\n\r\nTom

I returned these socks because the quality was poor. The tops seemed like they would become loose and frayed pretty quickly and weren't worth 7 dollars a pair.

I purchased these socks looking for something comfortable for my feet which are suffering from neuropathy. I wear size twelve shoes and even after buying the socks in man's size 9-12 they are incredibly tight and uncomfortable. They are very difficult to put on because of the tightness. If I wear them for any length of time, it takes about an hour before the impressions they make in my calves disappear. A great disappointment.

Not up to Zappo's standards -
You get what you pay for, so I can't say that I'm surprised by the quality, including elasticity and flimsy fabric. At least for me, these are far from socks worth calling "diabetic walkers."

Diabetic Socks -
I am very disappointed with the Wigwam Diabetic Socks. The socks will not stay up and cause great discomfort as they slide down into the shoe and "bunch up".

These socks are great! My toes can be a little sensitive and the circulation in my lower legs isn't the best and these socks solve both problems. They are comfortable, a nice weight, true to size and stay up without cutting off circulation. I highly recommend them!

Poor SupportGreat Support
While I have not worn these for extended periods yet (like the 11 hour flight I have coming up and 2 week ground tour that follows), I have worn them around town and the house for a few hours. First, I had to return the first pack because they were just a bit too small and walked down over my heel. I am a size 12-13, so I ended up ordering the largest size. The replacements fit great and do not walk down at all. I do not have to pull my socks up in the middle of the day. Secondly, they feel wonderful on my feet! They are very thin, they do not make my shoes feel at all tight and do not bite into my calfs at the end of the day. I am very happy with them. The only thing that I would say is a negative is that they seem to be a couple inches short on the leg. They could ride up a little bit higher.

Hey, nice socks!!!
While the Diabetic Walkers are not as thick or heavy as the socks I am used to (which I suspect are Wigwam athletic whites) they function well. They have a stretchy top that makes it over my fat ankles without cutting off my circulation. More importantly, the stocks stay up. I also like the size 12-15. I wear a size 12 shoe and sometimes find even a size 13 sock to be too short. These are just right and are not too long. Go Wigwam Go.

It's a shame this sock comes as a six pack. These sock are light weight and not worth the money. The very good socks for diabetics from this site are the ASICS Diabetic Crew 3 Pair-Pack . $28.00 and free shipping this is a deal.

I am not diabetic but I was looking for a sock that was not tight at the ankle. This sock is too thick and it make my feet sweat. It also leaves marks around my ankles. Not what I was looking for.
