the price is good, and these are excellent socks. hard to find in retail, especially the larger size. these were in a clear plastic bag, so i am guessing the sizing did not make the grade for regular retail packaging. fortunately they still fit my diabetic. the medpeds are really the best sock for diabetics we have tried.  good quality material, bleachable, do not shrink or loose their shape in the wash. and usually last for several years.
