This socks are well made but I bought a mans small thinking it would fit because I wear a mans 8 shoe. For me they are too tight around my calf and leave deep indentations is my skin. This is unusual because I don't suffer from edema. They are also too warm for my feet. Im going to donate them to Goodwill.  I bought around 20 pairs so this is an expensive lesson for me. I should have been careful about the size and perhaps chosen a really light weigh material. I recommend them because they are nicely made. I gave only 2 stars becuse Im unhappy with the socks but its not actually fair because they are well made. Try them but only buy a few pairs to start to make sure that you have the right weight and padding.
