Doc Ortho Loose Fit Cotton Diabetic Socks for Men and Women, 3 Pairs, Crew

I have ordered Doc Ortho diabetic socks for my husband and myself many times, and they were always very soft socks. However, I ordered the tan socks for myself, but this time they were not soft at all. They are made of very scratchy material. I am very disappointed that they are not the same as the ones I have been ordering. The tan color was not even tan, it is a very light cream color. If the title doesn't indicate the socks are soft, then you might not want to order them unless you do not mind a sock that is not soft. I did not realize all their socks were not the same quality. They actually reminded me of dollar store socks because of the scratchiness, but the quality of these socks is still good and much better than dollar store socks which is why the three stars instead of two. This may not be a problem for most people.

The Doc Ortho socks I usually order are the "ultra soft" model. I tried these after failing to get the ultra soft from Amazon. I've used and loved the ultra soft for years. These others aren't nearly as comfortable. Ultra softs model will have the words "Doc Ortho" printed across the toe, like the product photo shows.

Comfortable, non binding calf elastic, soft, affordable BUT be aware these socks leave lint on your feet each time you wear them. To date, I have worn & washed each pair 4 times since their purchase & lint production continues. However the comfort & non binding calf elastic out-weighs the lint. I will purchase them again. Three stars related only to lint.

1- Too thick, feels warm summer time 2- The leg part, upper, not really loose for diabetic ( almost feels like a regular socks that leavesmark) 3- The toe part, very front, not designed correctly having some extra fabric making it somewhat uncomfortable 4- The innerfoot fabric, the cotton or whatever, not feel as soft as some of my other socks.

Each one of these socks have a horrible toe and heel seam (see pics). Diabetics cannot have such horribly sewn seams that can cause calluses. Also, these socks look like they can get lint stuck all over when washed. All 3 pairs are poorly sewn. Returning these ASAP.

These socks are not light weight but rather heavy weave. They are not seamless. They are thick and the heavy weave irritates your feet. They will be going to Goodwill not in my sock drawer.

These socks feel more like some old rags on my feet. They are torn at the tip near the fingers, and they have a feel of old torn cloth. I've been used to wearing bamboo which is very comfortable and very dry. However, I needed some socks that weren't too tight since mine are tight and I get foot pain at night. So I tried these for a change.The socks that I received are very thin actually. Even though they don't appear to be on the picture. As soon as I put my shoes on while wearing these socks, my feet begin sweating inmediately. If I have to choose between wearing these socks and wearing shoes without socks I guess it's better to not use any socks at all. The only good thing about these socks is that they are not tight. But whats the point of having socks that are not tight if they don't keep your feet dry either? I gave them away to the poor.

They are much less pain-causing than my other socks, but they are still too tight to the point where the elastic tops squeeze the upper ankles/lower legs. I'm still looking for looser socks.
